Our Story

Two Countries.
One Team.
A Better Way.

Cross Migration Services was born from years of firsthand experience working across four immigration systems — Canada, Australia, the United States, and Colombia — and from a question that kept surfacing in every country, in every case: why is this so hard for people?

Not hard in the legal sense. Hard in the human sense. Clients arrived at consultations confused, unprepared, and anxious — not because they lacked commitment, but because no one had given them a clear roadmap.

What was missing wasn't expertise. It was alignment.

In 2025, Cross Migration Services was founded to close that gap — a bilingual, bicultural practice rooted in Colombia, connected to the United States, and shaped by the real problems we watched unfold for years.

The Double Immigration
Strategy

Exclusively for U.S. Citizens Married to or Engaged with Colombian Nationals

US-Colombia binational couple
Double Immigration Strategy diagram

Most immigration firms handle one country. We handle both — simultaneously. The Double Immigration Strategy is a coordinated binational approach that manages your U.S. and Colombian immigration processes as a unified strategy, not two separate cases.

Who Is This For?
  • U.S. citizens married to Colombian nationals pursuing a U.S. Green Card
  • U.S. citizens engaged to Colombian nationals planning their immigration future together
  • Couples who wish to maintain legal ties or residency in Colombia while pursuing U.S. immigration
  • U.S. citizens living in Colombia who need proper status in both countries
  • Couples planning a dual-residency lifestyle between the United States and Colombia
How It Works
Phase 1
Dual Assessment
Comprehensive analysis of both your U.S. and Colombian immigration needs in a single consultation.
Phase 2
Coordinated Strategy
A sequenced filing timeline that ensures actions in one country don't jeopardise status in the other.
Phase 3
Parallel Management
One team. One point of contact. Both immigration processes managed simultaneously.

3
No Legal Conflicts Between Countries
Actions in one country can affect status in the other. We sequence filings proactively to prevent unintended violations or status gaps.

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa + Colombian Status
While the K-1 process runs in the U.S., we ensure the U.S. citizen's Colombian residency remains intact and compliant throughout.
5
Bilingual Support End-to-End
Full English and Spanish support across both processes — no language barriers at any stage.
6
Consolidated Document Management
Apostilles, translations, and authentication handled once — properly formatted for use in both countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need
to know

For Individuals & Families
For Law Firms
Is Cross Migration Services a law firm?
No. Cross Migration Services is an immigration consulting and support firm. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal representation. For U.S. immigration matters, we work in close collaboration with licensed U.S. attorneys. For Colombian immigration, our services are led by a qualified Colombian attorney.
What countries do you work with?
We specialise in Colombian and U.S. immigration. Whether you are a foreign national building a life in Colombia, a U.S. citizen navigating both systems, or a Colombian national pursuing a path to the United States, we are equipped to guide you. We are also able to analyse and support immigration processes in other countries.
Do you offer services in Spanish?
Yes. We are a fully bilingual firm. All of our services are available in both English and Spanish — consultations, documents, communications, and client support.
How do I get started?
The first step is a discovery consultation where we assess your situation, identify your options, and outline a clear path forward. You can schedule directly through our website. Our first consultation is completely free.
How long does an immigration process take?
Timelines vary significantly depending on the type of visa, petition, or application involved, as well as the country and processing office. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific case.
Can you help if my case is already in progress?
Yes. We can evaluate where your case stands and determine the best way to move it forward, whether that means picking up where another process left off or restructuring the approach entirely.
Do you help with translations?
Yes. We assist with the translation of client-provided documents as part of our service. Translation needs are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may involve additional costs.
Is your work truly confidential and white-label?
Absolutely. We operate as an invisible back-office extension of your firm. Your clients will never know we are involved. All work is delivered under your firm's name and branding, and we operate under strict confidentiality agreements.
Are you based in the U.S.?
No. Our team is based in Colombia, which allows us to offer high-quality, attorney-supervised work at a significantly lower cost than equivalent U.S.-based staffing — without any compromise in quality or turnaround.
What immigration forms and case types do you cover?
We cover the most common family-based and humanitarian U.S. immigration filings, including I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-751, N-400, I-918, I-589, DS-260, DS-160, and others. If you have a case type not listed, contact us to discuss.
How do turnaround times work?
Turnaround times are agreed upon at the start of each engagement and structured around your firm's deadlines. We offer flexible arrangements from per-case projects to dedicated ongoing support.
How is pricing structured?
We offer three engagement models: per-case, quarterly retainer, and dedicated professional. The right structure depends on your firm's volume and needs. Contact us for a confidential conversation and a custom proposal.
Do your paralegals work within our case management software?
Yes. Our bilingual paralegals can adapt to your existing tools and platforms. We integrate into your workflow — not the other way around.
What if we want to start small before committing?
That is completely fine and actually how most of our firm relationships begin. A single case or a short-term project is a perfectly valid starting point.
