FAQ
DIY Kit
What’s included in the Full DIY Kit?
Step-by-step guides, professional templates (letters, deal memos, cover pages), and a spreadsheet for organizing your evidence. Everything you need to plan and assemble your O-1 application.
​
What’s the difference between the Full Package and Templates Only?
The Full Package includes guides, instructions, and the spreadsheet. Templates Only provides just the ready-to-use letters, forms, and spreadsheet for those who already understand the process.
​
How and in what format are the DIY kit files delivered?
All files are delivered automatically via email through Wix’s secure digital product system immediately after payment.
Guides = downloadable PDFs.
Templates = downloadable, editable Word documents.
Evidence Summary Chart = Link to Google Sheets spreadsheet you can copy and edit in your own Google Sheets.
​
Can I share these files with others?
No, the kit is licensed for personal use only. Sharing violates copyright and licensing.
​
Can I get help if I don’t understand something?
Yes, Full Package buyers can email for zero-cost clarifications on kit usage. Personalized consulting services are available separately.

Services
Do you offer single consultations without a package?
Yes. You can book a one-off 60-minute consultation for tailored advice without committing to a full package.
​
Do you offer free services?
Yes, you can reach out for a free 45-minute consultation for any questions about the process, your eligibility, our services, or anything else.
​
Can I upgrade from Basic to Medium or Maximum later?
Yes. If you decide you’d like more support, you can apply what you’ve already paid toward a higher-tier package.
​
Do you draft legal letters or fill out government forms for me?
No. I guide, organize, proofread, and provide templates. I do not act as your attorney, nor do I sign official documents. I do not write recommendation letters and do not provide legal advice.
General
​​How do I know if I qualify for an O-1?
You can schedule a free 45-minute evaluation or review the O-1 criteria in the DIY Kit.
​
How is Portico different from working with an immigration lawyer?
The O visa process can seem intimidating at first. I've been there. But it doesn't have to be. And I am proof that you don't need a lawyer to get approved.
My services are focused on being more affordable and offering faster, more direct communication. I also provide organizational tools and strategies lawyers typically don’t so that you can keep your peace of mind throughout the process and feel empowered about the preparation process and visual presentation of your case.
Lawyers can be essential in some complicated cases and can help you inquire more aggressively if anything goes awry. For highly complex or high-risk cases, I am happy to refer clients to trusted attorneys at any point in the process.
​
Do you guarantee approval?
No. USCIS approval depends on your qualifications and evidence. My role is to help you prepare the strongest possible case and help present it in the clearest, most organized way possible.
