Legal services
The legal work is handled by licensed counsel
Eligibility, filing strategy, legal documents, RFE responses and procedural communication
What actually decides an immigration case is legal judgment: whether eligibility stands, which standard to argue under, how the evidence is organized, and how a request for evidence is answered. Those steps are handled by a licensed U.S. immigration attorney within an actual engagement.
Where counsel is involved
Five stages, each with a clear owner
Eligibility and route analysis
Given family structure, capital and business background, credentials and timing, which route stands legally — and which does not.
Filing strategy
Category, filing order, filing route (consular processing or adjustment of status), and whether parallel filings are viable.
Evidence and legal documents
The evidence list and argument direction, the petition letter and legal brief, exhibit descriptions and form review.
RFE and denial responses
Responding to an RFE or NOID and, where warranted, preparing a motion, appeal or refiling — with the practical differences explained.
Procedural communication
Written and procedural exchanges with USCIS, the NVC and consular posts, handled by the attorney of record.
The attorney of record, scope of services, fees and responsibilities are set out during the consultation stage and governed by a separately signed legal services agreement.
Cooperating counsel
Two partner practices, each with its own focus
TIHU itself is not a law firm. The legal work is carried out by two independent licensed U.S. immigration practices. Both cover the main immigration categories, but each has a focus: one is boutique-style, centered on EB-5 investment immigration from source-of-funds evidence through project compliance and I-526/I-829; the other is a team practice more familiar with EB-2/EB-3 employer-sponsored immigration and the PERM process. Which practice handles a given case, and which attorney is responsible, is confirmed at the consultation stage.
Boutique immigration counsel
EB-5 investment immigration as the core — source-of-funds and path-of-funds evidence, project compliance review, I-526/I-526E and I-829 end-to-end; also covers business and talent-based categories.
Team practice
Focused on EB-2/EB-3 employer-sponsored immigration and the PERM process, while also covering employment-based and family-based immigration; team capacity allows parallel handling of multiple case types.
Both practices are independent legal entities with no employment relationship to TIHU. The specific practice and attorney of record are confirmed at the consultation stage and governed by a separately signed legal services agreement.
How we work
How the legal side and the service side connect
- Initial conversation
- We explain the realistic conditions, time cost and main risks of a route. No case-specific legal conclusions.
- Legal assessment
- Once engaged, the attorney confirms eligibility and strategy and defines the scope of the legal opinion.
- Preparation
- TIHU organizes checklists, verifies information, tracks progress and handles Chinese-language communication; counsel owns the legal documents and argument.
- Filing and follow-up
- Counsel files and responds as attorney of record; status, timing expectations and changes are reported to the client by both sides.
- Outcome and next steps
- After approval, the remaining steps — medical, interview, entry, removal of conditions — continue under the same division of responsibility.
