📞 Free consultations available until 7pm PT / 10pm ET

If you arrived as a child, start here.

DACA is not the only thing that might apply to you, and the rules have changed more than once. We look at your dates, your entries and your family before telling you what you can file.

Starts with a free consultation. You pay nothing until you decide to begin.

What gets filed

2 forms
  • I-821D Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
  • I-765 Application for Employment Authorization

We complete each of these with your answers. An independent immigration attorney reviews the packet before it reaches you.

Who this is for

  • You came to the United States as a child
  • You are not sure whether DACA or another process fits your situation
  • You want someone to check your options before you pay for anything

New USCIS rule

A missing document can now cost you the case, not just time.

Since August 5, 2026, USCIS officers can deny an application outright when required evidence is missing, without first sending a Request for Evidence. USCIS says applicants should not assume they will get a chance to fix a filing after it is sent. The rule applies to cases already waiting, not only to new ones.

Read the USCIS policy alert
  • There may be no letter asking for the document you forgot
  • A denial costs you the filing fee and your place in line
  • Filing again can mean months more waiting, and a record of the denial

This is why we decide how a case should be filed before we file it. We confirm which process you qualify for, prepare every form it requires, organise your evidence in the order USCIS expects, and have an independent immigration attorney review the packet before you send anything.

What happens once it is in the mail.

The consultation exists to sort this out. Nothing gets filed until you know which process is yours.

  1. Alvva

    We prepare it

    You answer questions and upload documents. We complete the forms and an attorney reviews them.

  2. Alvva

    You mail it

    Your packet arrives with instructions for what to sign, what to include and where to send it.

  3. USCIS

    Receipt and biometrics

    USCIS sends a receipt notice, then usually a biometrics appointment. That timing is theirs, not ours.

  4. USCIS

    Interview and decision

    Some cases are interviewed before a decision. We tell you what to expect either way.

What it costs

80% less than working directly with an attorney

Your price is quoted on the consultation and covers the whole packet. USCIS filing fees are separate.

  • Every USCIS form your case requires, completed
  • Your evidence organised and labelled in the right order
  • A review by an independent immigration attorney
  • Instructions for signing, assembling and mailing your packet
  • Someone to call, in English or Spanish, while your case is open

When you pay

  • Free consultation We tell you what you qualify for and what it will cost. No charge, no obligation.
  • First payment to start You share your information and documents. We prepare every form in your packet.
  • Second payment before review Once your forms are complete, you make the second payment and we send the whole packet for attorney review.
  • Attorney review and delivery An independent immigration attorney reviews your application, then you receive the complete packet and step-by-step instructions for mailing it to USCIS.

This is what Alvva charges. USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly to the government. We tell you the exact amount before you file.

Pay the way that works for you.

The same quoted price, three ways to pay it.

Two payments

The standard plan: one payment to start, the second before attorney review.

Pay as you go

Start from $50 and pay the rest in parts that fit your budget.

Schedule your start

Save your card today and pick a start date within the next month. Nothing is charged until then.

In their words

“Alvva cobro casi nada comparado lo que nos estaban cobrando otros abogados. Así que es algo un servicio que recomendaría alguien que tal vez ya tiene todo listo, pero ocupa esa piece of mind, esa tranquilidad de asegurarse con un experto e incluye revisión de abogado.”

About options for Dreamers.

Can I apply for DACA for the first time?
First-time DACA requests have been subject to court decisions that change what USCIS can approve. We will tell you honestly what the current position is for your situation before you spend anything.
Is there anything else I might qualify for?
Often yes. Marriage, a parent, or another family relationship can open a different process. That is exactly what the consultation looks at.
