Segura Rosaura Immigration Svc
Immigration forms help in Saint Helena for the upper Napa Valley, from naturalization to green card renewals.
About
Segura Rosaura Immigration Svc is how the import lists the office of Rosaura Segura, an immigration services provider on La Fata Street in Saint Helena, in the small commercial pocket off Highway 29 on the south side of town. The directory files her under Legal Services, but public listings describe the office as an immigration and naturalization services business, which is a different thing from a law practice. This listing was assembled from public records and has not yet been confirmed by the owner.
What an immigration services office can and cannot do
In California, a non-attorney immigration consultant may help you complete government forms, translate and gather documents, and submit an application, but may not give legal advice or choose which forms you should file. An office of this kind in the Napa Valley typically helps with:
- Naturalization applications (Form N-400) and citizenship test preparation
- Green card renewals and replacements (Form I-90)
- Family petitions and adjustment of status paperwork
- DACA renewals and work permit renewals (Form I-765)
- Translations of birth, marriage and school records
- Fee-waiver requests and photographs to USCIS specifications
If your case involves a removal order, a prior denial, a criminal record or a deadline from an immigration court, you need a lawyer or a representative recognised by the Department of Justice, and a reputable consultant will say so.
Bring these documents
Ask the office to show its immigration consultant registration and bond from the California Secretary of State; the law requires both, plus a written contract in your language that you can cancel within 72 hours. Never hand over original documents without a receipt, and never pay a fee that has been described as a government filing fee without seeing the USCIS fee schedule yourself. Bring your passport, any USCIS receipt notices, your A-number if you have one, and addresses and dates of every place you have lived since your last filing.
Up-valley towns
Saint Helena is the main town of the upper Napa Valley, and vineyard and hospitality workers from Calistoga, Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville, Angwin and Deer Park are the natural clientele, with the city of Napa half an hour down the valley.
The phone on file is 707-963-5851. If this is your office, Rosaura, the chamber will hand the listing to you so you can correct anything above.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessIs an immigration consultant the same as an immigration lawyer?
No. In California a consultant may fill out forms, translate and submit paperwork, but cannot give legal advice or represent you before USCIS or a court. Public listings describe this office as an immigration services business; ask whether an attorney is involved in your case.
How do I know the consultant is registered?
State law requires immigration consultants to register with the California Secretary of State, post a bond, and give clients a written contract. Ask to see the registration and bond, and search the Secretary of State's immigration consultant list by name.
What should I bring to a first appointment?
Your passport or identity card, any USCIS notices or receipts, your alien registration number if you have one, prior applications, and a list of addresses and employers with dates. For naturalization, bring travel dates for the last five years.
What does a naturalization application cost?
USCIS sets the government filing fee and publishes it on its website, and it changes; fee waivers exist for low-income applicants. Ask the office to separate its own service fee from the government fee in writing so you can see both.
Before you hire
- Ask to see the immigration consultant registration and bond issued through the California Secretary of State
- Get a written contract in your language and confirm the 72-hour cancellation right
- Never leave original documents without a written receipt
- Ask for the service fee and the USCIS filing fee as separate written figures
- If your case involves a court date, a denial or a criminal record, ask for a referral to an attorney
