Letter of Explanation & Application Review

Before submission

One of the most important parts of a successful application is the Letter of Explanation.

Once everything is ready, we'll review the complete package together before submitting.

As a licensed RCIC, I am legally authorized to submit applications on your behalf. After submission, I'll keep you updated on the status of your application.
