I-918 Immigration Services in Marble Cliff, Ohio
The I-918 (Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status) is a form where accuracy matters from the very first page. Our Columbus office prepares these packets for families throughout Central Ohio, including Marble Cliff. We double-check every entry, organize your supporting documents, and hand you a complete packet ready to file.
Marble Cliff is part of the diverse immigrant community we serve across Central Ohio. We take time to explain each step in plain language, and we will always tell you when a situation requires an immigration attorney rather than a immigration services provider.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Marble Cliff.

Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-918 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-918 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.
