Services
Visa and immigration services to suit your budget and needs — from a free orientation to full premium assistance. No matter what stage you are at with your application, we can work together to ensure your success.
It has been more than 20 years since we opened our first office in the Philippines and produced the first broadcast of our TV show. That is a lot of assistance extended to the public.
You don’t have to be in our physical office to take any of our professional services. We’re flexible: we use WhatsApp, Zoom, online meeting apps, Facebook and VoIP services, so not having to travel is an advantage.
Are you in the planning stage? Consider our free starter service. With more people preparing their own applications, the failure rate of do-it-yourself visa applicants has grown in recent years. Avoid unnecessary errors — talk to a Migration Associate first, and take a Migration Briefing before proceeding on your own.
Curious about studying overseas, or want a preliminary assessment of your credentials for skilled immigration? Start here.
A strategic planning session: what to do, the procedure and current fees, eligibility, and the conditions for a successful application.
Your migration team prepares the blueprint, meets critical deadlines, reviews the application regularly and guides you until the embassy decides.

Are you curious about studying overseas? Would you like a preliminary assessment of your credentials for skilled immigration? Take a free orientation and let’s assess whether you have a chance at a successful visa application and whether we could plan your overseas career together.
To qualify for the free orientation, be sure you’ve liked our Facebook page, Immigrant Visa Center. Get to know IVC better: read our mission statement and goals.
For an initial small investment in a Migration Briefing, you get to know:
The Migration Briefing is useful if your concern is a family-based immigrant visa petition or appeal; if you’ve finished the orientation but need more information; or if you are considering several migration pathways and don’t know which to take.
Take a Migration Briefing for family-based cases, including appeals and reinstating petitions. Our Visa Counselors analyze the facts and merits of your application and explain the legal solutions based on existing case law, court judgments and the latest protocols for your migration category.
Still reviewing the valid pathways to permanent residency? Your Visa Counselor presents suitable options to immigrate, based on your educational credentials, career and work history, financial investment, and your short- and long-term goals. If a chosen course of action may run into complications, the counselor recommends solutions so your application is more approvable.
Sometimes skilled immigration isn’t a viable option. You may then opt for international studies to qualify for permanent residence later. A Migration Briefing also includes a school and program match for those who want or need a second or third migration plan. See how we can help you study overseas.
Protect yourself from immigration risks. Avoid delayed or returned applications, or an outright refusal, because of mistakes that could have been avoided.
Premium services are transferable to a family member, inclusive of re-filing for the same migration category, valid for one year (extensions on request), transferable from one migration category to another, and discounted when you retain our services within one month of the Migration Briefing. Conditions apply.
