A decade guiding people to the United States — visa strategy, interview preparation, and the honest inside track on getting there. Talk to an expert before you make your move.
We're consultants, not a law firm — we give you honest strategy, document preparation, and interview coaching so you walk into your application ready. Start with the pathway that fits you.
A legitimate route for genuine religious workers, including religious educators, teachers, ministers and program volunteers, invited by a bona-fide, USCIS-recognised organisation. Spouse and children join on R-2.
See the R-1 pathway →Tourism, family, business or medical travel — with interview and document preparation that puts your strongest case forward.
B1/B2 details →Student visas, plus educational guidance on H-1B, L-1, O-1 and more. The right route, prepared properly.
All visa types →The R-1 visa is a genuine route to the United States for religious workers — religious educators and teachers, ministers, priests, granthis, imams, missionaries and program volunteers — invited by a bona-fide, USCIS-recognised religious organisation. It's also one of the strongest paths to explore after a B1/B2 refusal, if you qualify.
R-1 eligibility requires a genuine religious vocation and, generally, two years of membership in your denomination. City Bridge provides educational coaching and preparation only — not legal advice — and never assists with anything but bona-fide cases.
Discuss your R-1 caseFor tourism, visiting family, business meetings, conferences, or medical travel. The interview is short and unforgiving — we prepare your DS-160, organise your documents, and rehearse your answers so you walk in ready.

Yes. A refusal is not the end of the road. We'll assess what happened and map realistic options — and if you're a genuine religious worker, the R-1 pathway may be a strong route to explore.
The R-1 is for genuine religious workers — including religious educators, teachers, ministers and program volunteers — invited by a bona-fide, USCIS-recognised religious organisation. Your spouse and children can join you on R-2 dependent visas. Eligibility generally requires a genuine religious vocation and two years' membership in your denomination.

The consultation fee ($299 Discovery or $499 Strategy; $1,299 Preparation and $2,499 Concierge for full programs) is paid upfront to confirm your session. For eligible services, our consulting fee is then due only after your visa is approved. Any government and application fees are paid by you directly to the relevant authority.
