Prepare I-589 in Somerset, Perry County
If you live in Somerset and are working through I-589, you already know how easy it is to make a mistake that delays your case by months. At Asal Immigration Services, we support each I-589 packet methodically, check every required document, and hand you a complete, organized filing. Somerset residents are served from our Columbus office, with phone support available before making the trip from Perry County.
We help Somerset clients prepare for their I-589 appointment before they visit our Columbus office. Call first and we will explain which documents to bring. Clients from Somerset typically call (380) 269-7408 to confirm what to bring, then visit our Morse Road office during the week or on weekends. We are open Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm and Sunday 10am–4pm.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Somerset.

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 We do not quote government fees from memory.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-589 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-589 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.
