Gilda Gazor · Immigration Attorney
Your interview. Your truth. A lawyer in your corner.
Immigration interview preparation & representation.
Prepare for your green card, citizenship, or other immigration interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Gilda reviews your case, prepares you for questions, and represents clients at interviews in the Los Angeles area and other locations by arrangement.
The decisive stage
Why hire me to prepare for and attend your interview?
You cannot focus on answering stressful questions while also monitoring the legal significance of everything happening in the room. I can.
The USCIS interview is the decisive final stage before the agency makes its decision. After investing so much in your case, this is not the time to leave things to chance.
Spot problems before the interview
Immigration forms may look simple, but they are legal documents. I review everything previously submitted, identify inconsistencies, and prepare written amendments when necessary.
Bring your real story, not a performance
For a marriage-based interview, USCIS is looking for a genuine relationship, not a one-size-fits-all version of what a couple should look like. I help you recognize and communicate the specific, truthful details that make your relationship yours, trust your story, and show up authentically.
Tell your truth clearly under pressure
We prepare for difficult topics and use breathwork and grounding techniques so nerves are less likely to make you rush, freeze, or misunderstand what is being asked.
Turn an overwhelming file into a clear presentation
I help you select and organize the right evidence, prepare photographs and supporting materials properly, and know which original documents to bring.
Respond to the unexpected in real time
I recognize legal and procedural issues as they arise, clarify confusing questions or misunderstandings, and advocate for you without creating unnecessary tension.
Bring experience and accountability into the room
After more than a decade preparing clients for and representing them at USCIS interviews, I understand how these rooms work, how to build respectful rapport, and when to listen, clarify, or step in. I also serve as an independent witness to what occurs.
An attorney cannot guarantee approval or prevent detention or another government action. But you do not have to face one of the most consequential stages of your immigration case alone.
* Additional work after the interview, including responses to USCIS notices or an unfavorable decision, requires a separate agreement and fee.

“My wife and I had a complicated green card case. Our applications had become separated, and our paperwork had moved between immigration offices. When my wife was invited to an interview, we did not know how to explain the situation.
A friend recommended Gilda. She reviewed our files and agreed to attend the interview with us. Gilda knew what she was doing and brought a calming presence to the room. When her help was needed, she explained the situation to the officer in just a few minutes.
The officer understood what had happened and decided to approve both of our green cards. We could hardly believe it.
Having a lawyer in the room is so important. It gives you confidence. We owe Gilda our endless gratitude!”

“When I first began working with Gilda, I was deciding whether to renew my green card or apply for citizenship. I had gone through my initial immigration process alone and remembered how stressful it was. With Gilda’s support, I decided to pursue citizenship—and I’m so thankful I did. With her help, I became a U.S. citizen.
Gilda guided me with clarity and patience and always knew how to reassure me when things felt overwhelming. Her calm, kind energy and wonderful sense of humor made the process much easier.
Having her with me at my interview gave me confidence. I knew that no matter what came up, she would help me understand it and support me through it. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.
I can’t recommend Gilda enough. If you’re thinking about working with her, do it—you’ll be in great hands.”
