Is Your Firm Run By Attorneys Or Visa Consultants?

Enterline & Partners is a U.S. immigration law firm managed directly by licensed U.S. immigration lawyers who are active members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). We are not a consulting agency or a third-party visa service. This ensures that every piece of advice you receive is grounded in legal expertise and backed by the highest standards of professional responsibility.

What Is The Difference Between An Immigration Attorney And Immigration Consultant Or Agent?

The difference between the two is enormous. An immigration attorney is a licensed professional who is regulated by a Bar Association. An attorney has also graduated from law school and has passed a legal licensing examination and is required to follow a very strict code of ethics so as to best represent their clients. An immigration consultant or agent is unlicensed and is not bound by the same rules of professional responsibility as an attorney. Furthermore, because attorney’s are regulated by their Bar Association, they have a standard to follow which provides clients with protection should an issue arise.

What Type Of U.S. Immigration Cases Do You Handle?

Enterline and Partners handles a wide range of family, business, investment and educational immigration cases. With over 20 years of experience, our team of U.S. immigration lawyers has successfully handled thousands of diverse cases, including: EB-5 Investment Immigration : Both Regional Center projects and Direct Investments. Employment & Business Visas: L-1 , EB-1 , EB-2 NIW , and EB-3 . Family Sponsorship: Spouse (CR1/IR1) , Fiancé (K-1) , immediate relative . Complex Cases: Resolving visa denials and filing for waivers of inadmissibility.

If I Hire You After The Consultation, How Much Are Your Fees?

Service fees at Enterline & Partners are always transparent and clearly outlined in a formal legal agreement. Depending on the complexity of your file, consultation fees will vary based on the specific circumstances of your case. The exact fee structure will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation.

Do You Guarantee Results?

As licensed attorneys, we are unable to guarantee you any results. The only thing we can guarantee is that we will work hard and do our very best in representing you in your case.

Step-by-Step Guide to the K-1 Fiance(é) Visa Process

Applying for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa involves multiple government agencies, including United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), the National Visa Center (“NVC”), and the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. As a result, the process requires careful coordination at each stage. If you are researching how to apply for a K-1 visa, it’s important to understand that even minor mistakes can result in Requests for Evidence (“RFE”) or interview delays. Although processing times in 2026 have stabilized compared to pandemic backlogs, review standards remain strict. This guide will walk you through the full K-1 visa process, including eligibility requirements, filing steps, costs, timelines, and when legal representation may help reduce risk. Couples who prefer structured oversight may choose to work with Enterline and Partners, an American-owned immigration and investment consulting firm based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Manila, Philippines, for assistance with petition strategy, documentation review, and consular

The U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program: History, Temporary Status, and Expiration Timeline

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) reauthorized and reformed the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, a U.S. immigration program that offers foreign nationals a pathway to U.S. permanent residency through investment in American businesses that create jobs. A significant component of this program is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program, which allows investors to consolidate their resources through designated Regional Centers and invest in projects that drive economic growth and job creation. The Regional Center Program was introduced by Congress in 1992 as a pilot program to enhance the EB-5 visa classification. It was classified as a pilot program – a short-term “test” program – to allow for more flexibility for job creation based on the minimum investment. Investments may be made into businesses or “projects” sponsored by Regional Centers, which are approved by the United States Citizenship Immigration Services. Typically, these Regional Centers manage or oversee

My wife and I cannot overstate our gratitude to Ryan Barshop, and his assistant, Maricar. After taking on our case, a rare consular filing, he immediately and skillfully guided us through the complex process that resulted in my wife receiving a CR-1 visa.

An exceptional attorney and consummate professional, Ryan has an encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law. He kept us informed along every step of the way, and Maricar helped us keep track of our many documents and appointments. Their handling of our case changed our lives. The costs were extremely reasonable, and included far more than I would have imagined.

I have and will continue to recommend Attorney Ryan to anyone without hesitation. Ryan and Maricar, thank you for everything!

My wife and I are writing to express our deepest gratitude for your outstanding representation in my wife's immigration process to the United States and eventually her becoming an American citizen. Our Attorney Ryan Barshop and his team provided their expertise and dedication which have only been instrumental in achieving a successful outcome. It all started with my wife applying for a visa to come to the United States while living in Vietnam and only 3-years later her being sworn in as an American citizen. It's all due to the hard work of Ryan and his team. Your unwavering support and professionalism won our case and we are immensely thankful for your hard work and commitment and today my wife is an American citizen. We are forever thankful.

Best Regards,

Ron and Huyen Schroeder

We hired Enterline to assist with the paperwork for my wife’s immigrant visa.

Ryan and Leah guided us through the process. My wife recently passed her visa interview at the US Consulate with flying colors.

We plan to keep Ryan and Leah on board up to and through my wife’s naturalization. They answered all of our questions and assisted us when we reached important milestones in our case.

It’s well worth the money spent to have things done correctly the first time!

My husband, my mom, and I truly appreciate your professional and friendly service! Mr. Ryan and Ms. Leah responded timely and professionally to many of our questions, concerns and helped us file a few cases for my family members. They walked us through all steps, prepared all documents, provided guidance and tips up to the date of the interview, and all the way till my mom arrived in the U.S. Huge bonus is my husband, and I can focus on our regular jobs and not having to worry about messing up the paperwork if we were to do it ourselves! My mom recently received her Immigration Visa and arrived safe and sounds. My other family members are still waiting. We will use their service and expertise again in the future. The attorney we used many years back retired, so he referred attorney Ryan Barshop to us. I will highly recommend Ryan to family and friends.

Mr. Ryan is very knowledgeable and his assistant Leah is also amazing. I especially enjoy working with Enterline and Partners because everyone is so friendly. I didn't have to leave Vietnam during my spousal petition because I chose to stay with my family throughout the process. Mr. Ryan assisted me in establishing the intent to domicile and allow my husband to get a visa without any issues. I don't think I could do it without them.

David and his assistant Leah helped us successfully navigate the labyrinth of US immigration law. I greatly doubt we could have handled that confusing mess ourselves. They painstakingly took us through the many, MANY steps of the process. (You will be astonished how many steps there are!) At one point, our petition was stuck because I’ve been living and working in Vietnam for the last 17 years and so had no cut-and-dried domicile in the States. David was able to solve the problem by explaining our situation to an official higher up the chain of command. We would still be stuck there if it wasn’t for him. My wife received her immigration visa a few days ago. I give David and Leah my highest recommendation.

We are very happy to find an U.S attorney with office in Vietnam. David and Ryan are very professional. They explained all the difficult questions that other agencies couldn't give us. They contacted with the embassy on our behalf during covid. We wouldn't know what to do without them. Thank you for all their hard work, my husband got his green card and we now moved to America. Highly recommend them

As a fellow immigration attorney, I can attest to David Enterline's expertise and know-how. He is professional in all aspects and has great relationships with his clients. I know from personal experience that he always goes above and beyond to get the job done. He has a talent for explaining complex and confusing concepts in a very straightforward manner. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending his services or his team for whatever immigration matter you may have. You will be in good hands!

Ryan and Leah helped us get thru our K1 process during a very difficult time period with Covid. We had to transfer our case back and forth between embassies several times due to the world situation of 2020, 2021 and 2022. All the way thru the process, they did exactly as we asked, after providing us with the best advice they could give. Lastly, after a flight delay which prevented my fiancé from meeting Leah at the office, of course on the day before her interview, Leah hand delivered a package to her at the hotel helping to prepare for the interview. The interview went almost flawlessly, with my fiancé's visa being delivered within a few days. Thanks to Ryan and Leah for their fantastic support all thru the process.

As a US attorney myself, I have high standards and expectations of other attorneys. I give Enterline & Partners highest marks for competency, expertise and communications. Have been very happy with advice given to me in the past, have referred clients to them and will continue to do so in the future

Thank you Mr.Ryan and Assistant Ms. Anh for helping my husband and I complete our US immigration documents. Thanks to the support of the lawyer's office, we completed the documents and were able to enter the US.

My family had a very frank discussion with the lawyer. We appreciate the clear advice and information about the US visa that the family is looking for.

Thank you Mr.David for helping my husband and I fulfill our American dream. Even though we were denied many legal issues, thanks to the support of the law office, we were still able to enter the US under immigration status couple .
