Using TRIP to Fix Mistakes that Affect Travel in the United States

Ideally, travelers to or within the United States who have a valid tourist visa should not have their travel interrupted by immigration officials, Border Patrol agents, or employees of the Transportation Security Agency.

My philosophy

Irina Lust always seeks the best and fastest way to help you and your family immigrate to the United States, relying on her 18 years of experience.

Our collaboration begins with an analysis of each client’s specific situation to determine the feasibility of their immigration goals. This assessment considers the immigration laws of the relevant jurisdiction, the client’s profession, education, financial circumstances, family composition and other important factors.

I provide an honest assessment of each potential client’s immigration prospects and decline to take a case if I believe the goals are unrealistic. I not only provide information and explain the laws and regulations, but also offer alternative, more realistic solutions.

The policy of my firm is based on absolutely unwavering principles:

I tell my clients the truth and nothing but the truth. I do not minimize risks, but I do not exaggerate the expected amount of work.

I value my clients’ trust, understanding that they are paying for real work, not the appearance of it. I do not avoid regular communication with clients; on the contrary, I welcome it. I simply hope that clients will not abuse my willingness to discuss professional questions.

From the very beginning, I have rejected the idea of attracting clients at any cost. I am ready to represent clients only in cases that are genuinely achievable. They may be hard, but they must still have a reasonable likelihood of success.

I strive to understand each client’s priorities – whether it is starting a business, finding employment, pursuing education for themselves or their children, obtaining healthcare, seeking protection from persecution in their home country, and so on.

I work only with reputable and thoroughly vetted law firms when collaborating on immigration services in other countries, including Canada, the Caribbean nations, the United Kingdom, the EU, Australia, and various countries in Asia.
