MBO Immigration LLC is a document preparation service based in Fairfield, Connecticut, serving clients in all 50 states, including Newark, Elizabeth, Jersey City, Paterson, Union City, and the rest of New Jersey. We are not attorneys.

North Jersey is one of the most diverse immigrant regions in the country — Portuguese, Brazilian, Latin American, and Caribbean communities all overlap here. We work with couples across Essex, Hudson, Union, Passaic, and Middlesex counties — fully remote, in Spanish, English, or with Portuguese certified translation support.

Why North Jersey couples choose remote document prep

The Newark USCIS Field Office is one of the busiest in the Northeast. Most North Jersey couples we hear from have already weighed:

  • $4,500–$7,000 attorney quotes for what is often a straightforward marriage filing.
  • Storefront preparers with mixed bilingual quality.

A licensed document preparation service is the third option: a bilingual team that prepares the same packet — at a fraction of the cost.

How the process works

For most North Jersey couples:

  1. Free 15-minute consult by video call or WhatsApp.
  2. Personalized checklist for your specific case.
  3. Documents uploaded to a secure portal.
  4. We prepare I-130 + I-485 + I-765 + I-131 + I-864 with bona fide marriage evidence.
  5. You sign, mail, and we track in myUSCIS.
