How immigration services compare.
Online preparers, law firms and filing alone are three different products. This is what actually separates them.
What it costs
Alvva
Hundreds, quoted on a free consultation before you pay.
Typical online preparer
Often similar, though pricing may be per form rather than per case.
Who prepares it
Alvva
A person walks you through it by phone, in English or Spanish.
Typical online preparer
Usually self-serve, with support by ticket or chat.
Legal review
Alvva
An independent immigration attorney reviews every packet.
Typical online preparer
Varies. Some include attorney review, many do not.
Who represents you
Alvva
You file on your own behalf. Alvva is not a law firm.
Typical online preparer
Also not law firms, unless they say otherwise.
Your time
Alvva
About three hours of your answers.
Typical online preparer
Comparable, depending on how much the tool explains.
Choose the other one if
Any service that will not tell you whether an attorney reviews your file, or quotes a price only after you have paid to start, is worth walking away from. Ask both questions before you buy anything, including from us.
Questions people ask us.
What should I look for when choosing an online immigration service?
Five things: (1) whether a licensed immigration attorney actually reviews your case before filing, (2) whether support is genuinely bilingual or just a translated website, (3) what USCIS forms the service supports, (4) pricing structure — flat per-form is simpler than subscriptions or hourly, and (5) how the service handles a Request for Evidence (RFE). Ask the service directly who the attorney of record is and in what state they are admitted.
Do all online immigration services use real licensed attorneys?
No. Some are form-preparation software with no attorney involvement. Others advertise "attorney-reviewed" but the attorney sign-off is minutes long, not a real case review. A few, including Alvva, combine AI-driven quality control with a substantive licensed attorney review. Always ask for the name and bar admission of the attorney responsible for your case.
Which online immigration services truly support Spanish?
Many services translate their website into Spanish, but the actual questionnaires, emails, and customer support may be English-only with an auto-translated UI layered on top. True bilingual support means native Spanish questions, Spanish-speaking human support, and translated USCIS-specific terminology — which is what Alvva was built to provide from day one. If Spanish-language clarity matters, test the service: start a support chat in Spanish and see how it responds.
Can online immigration services help with DACA, I-751, or I-90?
Some do, some don't. DACA renewals (I-821D), Removal of Conditions (I-751), and Green Card Replacement (I-90) are common but a narrower set of online services supports them. Alvva supports all three: DACA renewal at $195, I-751 at $395, and I-90 at $195. Before signing up anywhere, verify the exact forms included in your price.
Do online immigration services include responses to USCIS RFEs?
It varies. Some charge separately for RFE responses; others include them in the base price. Ask before you sign up. Alvva's AI-driven pre-screen is designed to prevent common RFE triggers before filing, reducing the chance you will need one at all.
How does Alvva compare to other online immigration services?
Alvva combines proprietary AI models trained on thousands of past USCIS filings with licensed immigration-attorney review on every case. It is built bilingually from day one (native Spanish, not translated), offers flat per-form pricing starting at $195, includes WhatsApp/SMS support, and maintains a 99.7% success rate. We are the only service built specifically for the Spanish-speaking immigrant market.
