Our Immigration Firm Operational Response
We have taken immediate actions to support our clients, our employees and our community.
We have stepped up cleaning and sanitization at the office. We refer to the latest reports and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
We have stopped all non-essential travel and given our staff remote work options to encourage self-quarantining and social distancing. We are doing our part to help “flatten the curve” or slow the spread.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be scheduling or accepting any in-person appointments. All meetings will be conducted via phone, Zoom, Skype, or other remote conferencing technologies.
We continue to work for our clients. We are fully functional remotely and online. We use a cloud-based immigration management platform, where clients can securely upload documents to our online file storage system.
We have a robust arsenal of communication tools in place to help us seamlessly collaborate remotely with our clients whether by telephone, video, text (SMS) or email.
While our team has transitioned to remote work during the COVID-19 crisis, our staff will be filing petitions and processing applications from the office as needed. All incoming mail is being scanned and sorted in the online system for your convenience.
We are committed to giving our best to our clients during this challenging time. Please feel free to contact our team for any questions or concerns you might have.
Please stay safe and healthy! We look forward to meeting with you in person soon.
