Frequently asked questions
Are you immigration attorneys?
No, Liberty Prime Services is not a law firm and our staff are not attorneys. We do not provide legal advice or represent clients in legal matters. What we offer is practical assistance with immigration form completion based on extensive experience. For cases involving complex legal issues, legal interpretation, or representation before immigration authorities or courts, you should consult with a licensed immigration attorney. We focus on helping people complete their paperwork correctly when legal representation isn't necessary for their straightforward documentation needs.
What exactly does Liberty Prime Services do?
We provide hands-on assistance with completing immigration forms and documentation. Our experienced team, including paralegals and specialized notaries, guides you through the paperwork process for various immigration needs including green cards, work permits, citizenship applications, family petitions, and more. We help you understand what information is required, assist in completing forms accurately, review applications for completeness, and provide notarization services when needed. With over 20 years of experience, we've helped thousands of people successfully navigate immigration paperwork.,
How is working with you different from hiring an attorney?
Immigration attorneys provide legal advice, represent you in proceedings, handle complex legal issues, and advocate on your behalf in challenging cases. Liberty Prime Services provides form completion assistance, guidance on documentation requirements, notarization services, and certified translations. Many immigration processes are straightforward paperwork matters that don't require legal representation but do benefit from experienced guidance. We're a cost-effective option for people who need help ensuring their forms are completed correctly but don't require legal representation. If your case involves complications, we'll let you know you should consult an attorney.
Do you serve clients nationwide or only in specific states?
We proudly serve clients throughout all 50 states. Immigration is federal, not state-specific, and our services are available nationwide. Distance is no barrier to quality service. We work with clients through phone consultations, video meetings, secure email, and mail services. Whether you're in a major metropolitan area or a rural community, you have access to the same experienced assistance Liberty Prime Services provides to every client.
How long does the immigration process take?
Processing times vary significantly depending on the type of application, the service center handling your case, current processing volumes, and the completeness of your application. Green card renewals might take several months, while citizenship applications can take a year or longer. Family petitions vary based on relationship categories and country of origin. We help you understand typical timelines for your specific application and ensure your paperwork is submitted correctly the first time, which helps avoid delays from requests for additional evidence. You can check current processing times on the USCIS website for specific forms and service centers.
What if I make a mistake on my application?
Mistakes on immigration applications can lead to delays, requests for additional evidence, or even denials in serious cases. That's precisely why having experienced guidance matters. We review applications carefully before submission to catch errors, ensure consistency across forms and supporting documents, verify all required sections are completed, and confirm calculations and dates are accurate. If you've already submitted an application with an error, depending on the type of mistake and when you discover it, you may need to submit corrections or amendments. We can help you understand your options in these situations.
What documents will I need for my application?
Required documents vary significantly based on the type of application you're filing. Generally, you'll need proof of identity like a passport or birth certificate, immigration documents showing your current status, financial records for many petitions, relationship documentation for family-based applications, and photographs meeting current specifications. During our consultation, we'll provide a comprehensive checklist specific to your application type. We also help you obtain documents you're missing, such as birth certificates from foreign countries or certified translations of documents in other languages.
Can you help if my application was denied before?
While we can't provide legal advice about why a previous application was denied or whether you should reapply, we can help with completing a new application if you decide to reapply. Many denials result from incomplete forms, insufficient documentation, or errors in presentation rather than ineligibility. If your case was denied for complex legal reasons, you should consult with an immigration attorney to assess your situation before reapplying. For straightforward cases where denial resulted from documentation issues, we can help ensure a new application is complete and thorough.
How much do your services cost?
Our fees vary based on the complexity and type of service you need. A simple green card renewal assistance costs less than comprehensive help with a complex family petition or citizenship application. We provide clear pricing during your initial consultation before you commit to our services. Our goal is to offer affordable assistance that provides value through accuracy, saved time, and peace of mind. Keep in mind our fees are separate from government filing fees, which you pay directly to USCIS or other agencies.
What's included in certified translation services?
Our certified translation services include professional translation of your documents from the source language to English, a certification statement affirming translation accuracy, translator credentials and signature, and formatting that meets USCIS requirements. Common documents we translate include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, academic transcripts, police certificates, and foreign legal documents. Each translation includes the certification required by immigration authorities, eliminating a common reason for application delays.

We work with many clients whose first language isn't English, and we're experienced at communicating clearly about form requirements and documentation needs. While you'll need to complete forms in English and understand them since you're signing under penalty of perjury, we can help explain what each section means and ensure you understand what you're signing. For documents in other languages, we provide certified translation services. If you need an interpreter for consultations, we can work with trusted interpreters or you can bring a family member or friend who speaks both languages.
