Has anyone tried Boundless Immigration?

[Omair Sid 0]

Hi guys!

 

Hope you and your families are safe and healthy in these strange times!

 

I'm reaching out to ya'll today to find out about a service that helps with the immigration process. It's called Boundless Immigration - https://www.boundless.com/ 

 

I'm thinking about using this service to start the immigration process for my wife (change of status) 

 

Has anyone used this service here or know anyone who did? Whenever I've asked question in this forum, I've received genuine, honest answers/feedback, hence the reason I'm back here.  Any feedback from ya'll would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks so much!

Others will share I’m sure .. but the general feeling here is that most  applications dont

 need a lawyer or service to assist .. you still have to gather all the documents  and provide all the information.. lots of very wise experienced vj members  ready to answer questions you might have if you decide to do it yourself

Adjustment of Status?

 

This is a DIY site, if you think you have issues that need professional help I would suggest a Lawyer.

Anything in between DIY and a lawyer is a waste of money. Most of the time a lawyer is a waste of money. If you can fill out a job application you can file out standard US immigration forms.

I think overall the DMV caused me more problems and you do not use a Lawyer for that.

I’ve gotten to the point of being an unconditional LPR and I’ve always wanted to do my own forms. If it’s something beyond me that I couldn’t handle, like something in court, I’d lawyer up. Otherwise, I’ve seen a lot of stories of lawyers making basic mistakes like sending an outdated form.

 

I don’t know if this is a healthy trait or not, but I have severe anxiety with anything immigration. Doing it myself allowed me to carefully examine every form, every requirement, all evidence, and scrutinize everything to the letter before sending the package off. I just didn’t trust something so significant with someone else.

We're using Boundless at the moment for IR1.  We found them before we found VJ and they have certainly been helpful.  One of the things I like about them is that they ask you very simple, plainly worded questions and use the data to fill out the forms for you.  Digital copies of the forms go to you first and you actually send them yourself, they don't send it on your behalf.  So we were able to review everything ourselves before it went to USCIS (there weren't any errors, btw) and could ensure it got posted in a way we were comfortable with.  We haven't had approval on our I-130 yet, so I don't know what their assistance is like when it comes to things like the DS-260 (which only we can fill in anyway) and the I-864 and that new form for the beneficiary I've forgotten the name of.

 

They aren't perfect.  We sent them scans of our marriage certificate and they said that would be fine but didn't notice that it doesn't have proof that the marriage was registered with the county clerk so we got an RFE.  It was easy enough for me to send a scan of a certified copy of the certificate, but obviously it would have been better if we'd known to send that in the first place.

 

For us, particularly before finding VJ, the whole application process looked pretty impenetrable, especially as we are both outside the US at the moment.  Our Boundless rep is very helpful, responsive and friendly.  I can see that if English isn't your first language or the language on the applications and forms is difficult for you, their simple way of doing things might be a more approachable route.  But alternatively, if you have a very straightforward marriage-based green card situation and VJ, I don't see why you couldn't do it yourself. 

 

Obviously there's a cost to Boundless (it's gone up $200 since we signed up!) but it is a lot less than a lawyer.

Boundless isn't for everyone, but if you need a helping hand they are great. What I've seen the last 4 years in immigration is an increase in RFEs for trivial things. The good thing about working with online companies like Boundless, Rapid Visa etc is that they can give you insight on the trends happening at any point in time and you have the security that a lawyer looked it over.

 

If someone has had a criminal past though, I would recommend a lawyer.

They do not have lawyers handling your case.
