Smooth like butter.

"Denied." "Needs more evidence" "Improper forms sent" Waiting "Rejected payments" Waiting Waiting waiting Reapply or Reopen case...? Do the paperwork yourself, save some money this can't be too difficult was my mindset. I quickly found out I don't understand how to navigate this ocean of... federal immigration paperwork. Not only that but even my own personal documents, getting them in order to submit. It's a lot. A lot, a lot to deal with. Work your full-time job and do this. It's stressful, arguing, restless, emotionally draining, and not knowing what the future holds is unbearable. We spoke with two lawyers before we scheduled a meeting with KILO. If I remember correctly those places charged like 100$ jus to talk to us, both of which we instantly had a feeling of buyers remorse. Not that they were unprofessional but more just I didn't feel comfortable giving these places such a healthy sum of money. I'm not cheap but I value my money because I/We work hard for it. Much too hard. From our first handshake with Peter we BOTH felt like this guy has the wheel for sure. Peter drew us a small diagram of how the process goes, some of it we knew and some I was clueless too. He knew the ups and downs of everything we asked and filled us with positive information, this made us feel safe. We could see the light at the end of the tunnel finally. Ok at this point we could tell Peter was our guy, and are happy to move forward. My personal situation was I had the government fees and not a whole lot more, KILO was well within our budget without breaking the bank. We were able to make very very affordable monthly payments. I remember the second office we went to asked for 40% down. it's a good amount of work on your end getting your own needed documents together. But knowing What papers to get together is the tricky part. KILO would have everything in my email, plain text for me to be able to wrap my head around. They submitted all our files and handled all the mess I made. I couldn't believe our pain free experience Fast forward to today. Wife has her greencard in hand. If I knew all the spinning of my wheels I was going to do on my own, just trying to make sense of the I791's, b2 to K1. I would have called KILO sooner. It is a long process and Peter was there for us every step of the way. He is a stand-up guy and we have a lot of respect for this man. Absolutely no buyer remorse, best money we ever spent.

Best Experience and Customer Service

Peter helped with my mom's green card application. He was very knowledgeable about the subject. During our first meeting he was very respectful and provided a detailed timeline on how the process works. He also responded to our questions promptly either through email or phone call. He provided a step...-by-step guidance on how to complete the forms and required supporting documents, He timely reviewed the forms and provided feedback and constantly provided updates once the forms were submitted. His Assistant, Allyson, was awesome! Always available. The process went on smoothly and mom was approved earlier than we expected. Thank you very much! I would recommend Peter and his team to anyone who needs assistance.
