Our Fees

Since 2010, our clients have had an approval rate of close to 99%. For this reason, we only accept clients if we are confident that we can help them build a strong portfolio. However, we have also developed strategies that can help individuals who may lack certain credentials or have slightly weaker cases build winning portfolios. So we offer three tiers of services with different refund plans, depending on the specifics of your case:

• Tier 1 – Success or Full Reimbursement If we feel that you have a high likelihood of success and your experience, achievements, and scheduled work are of the highest standards, we will offer you our Portfolio Preparation Service service with a full refund of our service fees if your case is not approved by the USCIS.
• Tier 2 – Success or Partial Reimbursement If we feel your case is strong, but we have some concerns or feel that there are areas in which your portfolio could be improved, we will offer you our Portfolio Preparation Service with a partial refund in the event your case is not approved. As part of our service, we will provide you with guidance to help you improve your credentials and strengthen your portfolio.
• Tier 3 – Portfolio Preparation Service If we have concerns about your case, but still feel it has potential, we still want to do everything we can to help. We will offer you our Portfolio Preparation Service, but without a refund in the even the case is not approved. We will still provide you with the same level of service and do everything we can to help you build a winning portfolio.
