I got my permanent residency last week.
I paid about 1000 dollars for the temporary and then about another 1000 dollars for the permanent.
I know I could have paid less but I chose the "VIP" type of service.
I was done in about 2 hours and that means everything !
I was brought to the front of every line, in and out of the immigration office, blood test, urine, off the hospital for X-ray and on the road in a flash !
There is no price consideration when you live on the north coast like I do. It means renting a car, getting hotel rooms etc...
So having to only go to the Capitol one time and getting it all done right the first time and in a matter of about 2 hours is priceless.
If anyone cares to know the law firm PM me, simply look at who does the legal section on DR1 or see the name in this thread.
