Good questions.
Clearer next steps.
A few things to know about Thrive, your options, and getting started.
Getting started
Do I need to know which visa to apply for?
No. Tell us about your background and plans. A partner immigration attorney can assess which categories may fit your circumstances.
What should I bring to a first conversation?
A brief overview of your background, what you want to do in the U.S., and any important timing. You can start with a résumé or CV. Do not send identity documents or sensitive records before a secure communication method is agreed.
Can you guarantee a visa or green card?
No. Government authorities make immigration decisions. An assessment helps you understand your options; it cannot guarantee an outcome.
Where can I find free or low-cost legal help?
The Department of Justice maintains a list of pro bono legal service providers. View the DOJ provider list. Availability and the types of matters accepted vary by provider.
Working with Thrive
Who will handle my immigration case?
Independent partner immigration law firms provide immigration advice and representation. Thrive helps connect you with a firm; that firm assesses your case and provides legal services under its engagement agreement.
Is Thrive an immigration law firm?
Thrive Legal is a law firm practicing personal injury. Thrive Immigration connects clients with independent partner immigration law firms for immigration legal services.
What if I need help with a different immigration matter?
Tell us what kind of assistance you need through the consultation form. We will need to confirm whether a suitable partner is available. This site focuses on the work visa and employment-based green card routes listed here.
O-1 visas
Do you help with both O-1A and O-1B?
Yes. We connect people exploring either route with partner immigration counsel. O-1A relates to science, education, business, and athletics; O-1B relates to the arts, motion pictures, and television.
Employers
Can my company sponsor or pay for my case?
Thrive works with sponsoring companies and accepts employer payment. The visa category, sponsorship requirements, and allocation of fees should be discussed with immigration counsel.
Fees & timing
How much will my case cost?
Request a written quote based on your pathway and scope. Ask which legal services are included and how government filing fees, third-party costs, and any additional work are handled.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the category, preparation work, government processing, and whether consular steps are needed. Immigration counsel can discuss a case-specific plan; no approval date is guaranteed.
