Visa situations
When a visa situation needs attention.
Some cases do not begin with a new application, but with a problem: a refusal, a stay about to end, a request for evidence or an inconsistent history. We organize your history and your documents, and a partner immigration attorney, engaged directly by you, provides the legal assessment and represents you.
Stay about to end
Visitors who need to understand their options before their authorized stay expires.
Plans changed in the U.S.
Visitors or students whose plans changed and who want to know which pathways may be open to them.
RFE or NOID received
A Request for Evidence or a Notice of Intent to Deny on an EB-1A or EB-2 NIW petition.
Inconsistent history
Differences between past DS-160 forms, petitions and documents that must be understood before the next application.
Family members
Spouses and children whose status depends on the main applicant's case.
How we support you
- Organization of your immigration history and documents
- Timeline of entries, stays and applications
- Preparation of your questions for the attorney
- Referral to a partner immigration attorney
- Organization of the evidence the attorney requests
We do not represent clients before USCIS, the Department of State or immigration courts, and we do not give legal advice on U.S. immigration law. Situations involving overstays, unlawful presence or removal proceedings are referred to a licensed U.S. immigration attorney from the start.

An important note
Tobias Estate & Legacy Strategy is an advisory firm, not a law firm. Legal assessment, filing and representation are handled by licensed U.S. immigration attorneys, engaged directly by the client. Visa and green card decisions rest solely with U.S. authorities, and no outcome or processing time is guaranteed.
