Why families choose this course

Attorney-level knowledge, translated into plain steps you can actually follow.

Save thousands in fees

The same process an immigration firm charges for, taught to you directly — so you keep the money and keep control of your case.

Grounded in the law

Every module cites the governing INA sections, 8 CFR regulations, and USCIS Policy Manual guidance, so you know why each step is required.

A safety net if you need it

The Confidence Credit Guarantee lets you transition to full attorney representation with your course fee credited toward the work.

What’s inside

A complete filing system, from first form to citizenship.

The course walks all three pathways and everything that surrounds them.

  • Proving a bona fide marriage — the evidence standards USCIS actually applies.
  • Adjustment of Status (INA § 245) — for spouses already in the U.S.
  • Consular Processing (INA § 221) — from NVC through the embassy interview.
  • K-1 Fiancé Visa (INA § 214(d)) — IMBRA rules and the 90-day deadline.
  • Waivers & inadmissibility — extreme-hardship arguments that work.
  • RFEs, interviews & removing conditions — managing the case to approval.

Trust & credentials

Designed by a practicing immigration attorney.

Joseph Botelho created this course from real casework — the same checklists, cover letters, and evidence strategies used inside a working immigration practice, rewritten so a self-filer can use them.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is this a substitute for hiring a lawyer?

No. The course is legal education, not legal advice, and enrolling does not create an attorney-client relationship. It teaches you to prepare your own straightforward marriage-based case, and it flags exactly when a case is too complex to file alone.

Which pathway does the course cover?

All three: Adjustment of Status (for spouses in the U.S.), Consular Processing (for spouses abroad), and the K-1 fiancé visa. The free pathway finder helps you identify which one applies to you.

What if my case turns out to be complicated?

The course has a full module on when you must hire an attorney — and the Confidence Credit Guarantee lets you apply your course fee toward representation.

How much time does it take?

Most students spend roughly 12–15 hours on video content, with additional time gathering evidence and preparing forms depending on their case.
