Meet Sherry Hechanova, Esq.

Hello!

 I'm the daughter of Filipino immigrants—my family built our lives here with determination and hard work. That  experience shaped how I practice law. Before founding Hechanova Law in  2017, I spent years as an insurance defense litigator, giving me a  unique litigator's edge in employment-based immigration cases—especially  when responding to RFEs, building evidentiary records, and handling  appeals. I'm a proud member of the American Immigration Lawyers  Association (AILA) and the California State Bar. I serve employers and  professionals throughout the United States, with  multilingual support in English, Spanish, and Tagalog. Whether you're  sponsoring an employee for an H-1B, pursuing an EB-1 green card, or  navigating PERM labor certification, I'm here to build a winning  strategy with compassion, integrity, and relentless advocacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at immigration@hechanovalaw.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We handle a wide variety of immigration cases, including family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, asylum, naturalization, and deportation defense.


 I offer transparent, flat-fee pricing with no hidden costs. Consultation  is $125 (credited toward legal fees if you retain our services). During  your consultation, I'll provide a clear quote for your specific case.  Corporate packages and retainer options are also available for companies  with ongoing immigration needs. 


You can schedule a consultation by filling out the contact form on our website, by scheduling your own consultation via the link, or by calling our office directly. We will respond promptly to schedule a time that works for you.


  Yes. While I'm based in San Pedro, California, immigration law is  federal—I serve employers and professionals nationwide. Many of my  clients work with me remotely via phone, email, and video consultation. 


 Every case is personally handled by me, Sherry Hechanova—not delegated  to paralegals. I bring 10+ years of litigation experience, a 99%+  approval rate on over hundreds of cases, and expertise in complex petitions that  other attorneys turn away. My litigation background gives me a  strategic edge when responding to RFEs and handling appeals. 


 RFEs are a normal part of the process, and my litigation background  makes me especially effective at crafting strong, persuasive responses. I  build cases with thorough documentation from the start to minimize  RFEs, but when they do come, I respond strategically to get your case  back on track. 


Yes, we can assist you with renewing your visa. We can help you determine the appropriate timing for renewal and guide you through the renewal process.


Most interviews last 20–30 minutes, though complex cases may take longer. 


 Generally no, unless you qualify for a recognized exception and have followed USCIS rules. Most naturalization applicants must complete the interview in English.
