Stop Guessing About Your U.S. Immigration Timeline And Costs
Honest guidance for your immigration journey.
The U.S. immigration system thrives on confusion. We provide a complete roadmap for your investment or business visa, detailing exact USCIS filing fees, attorney costs, and realistic processing times before you sign a contract.
Radical Transparency For Complex Immigration Cases
💰 Exact Cost Mapping
We outline every dollar required for your petition. You receive a line-item breakdown of our legal fees, USCIS filing costs, and required investment capital minimums on day one. No surprise invoices.
🗓️ Realistic Processing Timelines
USCIS processing times change weekly. We give you the unvarnished truth about current I-526E or E-2 visa backlogs so you can plan your family relocation with actual data, not false hope.
📄 Source of Funds Tracing
Investment visas fail during the source of funds review. We spend weeks auditing your financial history, tax returns, and asset transfers to build a bulletproof paper trail before submitting a single form.
📞 24-Hour Response Protocol
You never have to wonder about the status of your case. We mandate a 24-hour maximum response time for all client inquiries, providing direct access to your lead attorney.
⚖️ Fiercely Honest Case Assessments
If your proposed business plan does not meet the job creation requirements for an EB-5 or the substantiality test for an E-2, we tell you immediately. We refuse to file doomed petitions.

Truth Over False Hope In U.S. Immigration
My name is Christian M. Frank Fas, and I focus exclusively on investment and business immigration. I built True Law Immigration in San Diego because I saw too many foreign investors and entrepreneurs being sold a fantasy. The U.S. immigration system is a bureaucratic labyrinth designed to find reasons to deny your petition.
When you apply for an E-2 treaty investor visa or an EB-5 green card, the stakes are your family future and your life savings. You do not need a cheerleader. You need a legal strategist who understands the mechanics of consular processing, USCIS adjudications, and complex source of funds tracing.
Our approach is rooted in radical transparency. Most firms hide the ball on total costs or downplay the 3 to 4 year wait times for certain visa categories. We do the exact opposite. We map out every single filing fee, legal cost, and realistic timeline during our first meeting. If your capital is not properly documented, or your business plan lacks the required job creation metrics, we tell you immediately.
We fight relentlessly for our clients because we prepare obsessively. By anticipating the exact objections a USCIS officer will raise, we build petitions that withstand the harshest scrutiny. You get the unvarnished truth, clear legal strategy, and constant communication from day one until your visa is approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an E-2 or EB-5 visa application actually cost?
We provide a flat-fee structure for all investment visas. Attorney fees for an E-2 typically range from $8,000 to $12,000, plus USCIS filing fees of $1,055. You receive a binding, line-item invoice before we start working.
What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE) on my case?
We anticipate RFEs by front-loading your petition with exhaustive documentation. If USCIS requests additional information regarding your source of funds or business plan, we handle the response within our original flat fee.
How long will it take to get my investment visa approved?
Timelines depend entirely on the visa category and your country of origin. Premium processing for an L-1 or E-2 change of status takes 15 days, while consular processing takes 3 to 6 months. We give you the exact current data for your specific consulate.
Will I speak directly with my attorney or just a paralegal?
You communicate directly with your lead attorney. While our paralegals assist with document collection, Christian M. Frank Fas personally reviews every financial record and drafts the legal arguments for your petition.
