Testimonials
“Santiago takes the client’s statement in Spanish, using his psychological knowledge to allow them to let their guard down. Santiago knows the legal questions that the statement must address and makes certain that it does so with the details necessary for credibility. And, because he is a wonderful person, the clients love him.”
“Punctual and professional. We have enjoyed working with him over the last few years. He is also great at communicating with us, which is key in any great business relationship. Santiago does great work!”
Helping thousands of immigrants tell their stories for over nine years.
I offer an affidavit/personal declaration writing service for immigrants seeking a pardon, Visa, or other protections granted by the USCIS — Spanish-speaking and English-speaking individuals that wish to get all their papers in order and lead a life without the worry of leaving their current home behind.
Understanding how overwhelming and time-intensive the task of writing one of these support letters can be, whether you are a beneficiary or a law firm representing one, I work hard to bring my clients the quality and thoroughness they need in these documents.
Having been raised an English and Spanish speaker and being proficient at both languages, not only do I write the declaration itself, but offer a translated version.
I have worked remotely with firms and individuals for seven years. I offer a pleasant interaction and guarantee a high-quality document that will represent the client’s memories, reflections, and emotions faithfully, with as many corrections from the client and/or the firm as necessary.
Given the variations in state standards and guidelines, plus the preferred style and structure of each law firm or organization, I work closely with my clients to ensure a seamless process. If there are specific formats or templates, I shall stick to them while assuring complete confidentiality.
You can trust that I know what to write and how to write it!
Personal Declaration Services
i-601a Waivers and EOIR-42A CancellationS of Removal
Leaving one’s home country due to poverty, violence, or both is, possibly, one of the hardest decisions someone can make. And yet, countless people feel forced to say goodbye to everything they have ever known, carrying with them the tiny glimmer of hope that they will provide something good for their loved ones.
From the struggles of growing up in a hostile environment, to the relief that attaining comfort and security in a new country through hard efforts represents, writing these stories is the main focus of my work.
U Visas
Despite having fled potentially life-threatening circumstances in their home countries, many immigrants become victims of truly traumatizing crimes after arriving in the U.S.
It is my diligence to approach these subjects with as much empathy as possible, making sure to put into words the feelings of the client - the emotional toll that such experiences leave on them.
T VISAS
If there is an experience worse than leaving one’s family behind, without knowing what horrors may happen along the way, it is nightmarish scenarios like human trafficking or forced inhumane working conditions becoming a reality.
Describing these accounts can be a challenge for many. My background in psychology allows me to treat the sensitive issues at hand carefully, making sure to emphasize how clients survived and became able to start a new life, often empowering them in the process.
I-360 VAWA
There are, sadly, too many ways in which a spouse can abuse one’s trust, resulting in physical and psychological pain. There are also different degrees to this affliction, but each case has a story of struggle and loss behind it.
Capturing that sentiment in a letter while granting the client room to talk and process these memories often results in a cathartic and productive experience.
I-589 Asylum
In today’s world, the U.S. has shined for its protection to immigrants fleeing from political unrest. These stories may contain a different set of struggles since, for example, the client may not have a background of extreme socioeconomic challenges.
In light of this, the complexity of the petitioner’s decision demands a detailed account of the personal and societal circumstances. Therefore, a description of the impact that having the life they knew taken away is also necessary.
translations
Being proficient in both English and Spanish from a very young age, and a certified language teacher, has allowed me to work in document translation for years.
Despite no longer being a registered translator in Mexico, I have a vast experience in literary, technical, scientific, and legal translations. I am glad to say that my attention to detail has always been present in my work.
