Who We Serve
Columbus has one of Ohio's largest Nigerian communities — professionals, students, business owners, and families spanning Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, and Ijaw backgrounds. Nigerian immigration cases involve some of the most complex documentation requirements of any country, with documents scattered across local government areas, court registries, state ministries, and the Nigeria Immigration Service.
What We Help With in Reynoldsburg
We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is complete, accurate, and correctly formatted before you submit.
Nigerian Court Affidavit Review
Nigerian court affidavits are used to change names, correct birthdates, or establish facts not documented elsewhere. We review your affidavits and explain when USCIS will or will not accept them as primary evidence.
LGA Birth Certificate Assistance
Nigerian birth certificates are issued at the Local Government Area (LGA) level. We help you identify the correct LGA office for your place of birth and draft request letters for your family contacts in Nigeria.
Nigeria Immigration Service Guidance
NIS handles Nigerian passport renewal and other consular matters. We help you organize the documents required for NIS consular services in the US.
Invitation & Support Letters
Professional support and invitation letters for Nigerian family members applying for US B-2 tourist visas.

When USCIS Rejects Nigerian Court Affidavits
Nigerian court affidavits are commonly used in Nigeria to establish facts when formal records don't exist or have errors — but USCIS's acceptance of affidavits has become more scrutinized. A court affidavit changing a birthdate or correcting a name is not automatically accepted as primary evidence of that date or name. We advise clients on when to use affidavits, when to seek the underlying document (like an LGA birth certificate), and how to structure the evidence package so that USCIS understands why the affidavit was needed.
