In addition, the WRM Immigration Department charges nominal fees that vary depending on the complexity of services provided, reflect the direct costs of the services, and are in line with national Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) guidelines. Our service fees cover: application preparation, legal screening, referral to social services (if applicable), photos, mailing and follow-up. Discounts on WRM service fees are available only for “Path to Citizenship” applications, and are determined based on strong evidence of financial hardship. Feel free to contact us for a listing of our current fees.
