Whenever possible we try to foresee potential issues on a case and for this reason, it is extremely important to be completely open and detailed with the information you provide our office at your initial consultation, since any information that we learn later in the case can affect not only the cost of your case but also the strategy to be implemented. Sometimes clients are not completely aware of their immigration situation or of how past issues (i.e. a criminal/tax problem) may affect their case, and therefore may not provide us all the relevant information at the outset, for us to take it into consideration when providing an estimate of all the work involved in the case. In these situations, the intricacies of a case may start to reveal themselves as the case progresses and we will communicate to the client if there is a need for additional work and fees (see schedule of additional service fees). Please bear in mind that any additional fees required are due before we perform the additional work.

We believe that this service-based fee structure simplifies communication about pricing, allowing our clients to better estimate the cost of our representation on their case, as well as to understand in advance, what activities constitute additional work and require additional fees. If in the middle of a case you decide to change the type of petition you wish to file, the legal fees for the new type of petition will apply (we will have to do all the new work) and credit will be given for any unearned fees on your original case. An itemized bill will be prepared at our regular rate ($395.00 per hour) as stated in your contract, and this will be subtracted from the fee you paid.Please bear in mind that the application charges of the US Immigration Service (USCIS) and any other type of expense that our office incurs in your case, such as express mail, investigation expenses, job advertisements for employment-based immigration cases, parking, etc. are your responsibility and additional to our legal fees.For The U.S. Immigration Service filing fees see: https://www.uscis.gov/forms

All invoices are due upon receipt, and we reserve the right to withdraw our representation if our invoices are not paid on time. At the point of hire we request that you sign a contract and pay the service-based legal fee (or first installment if we have agreed on a payment plan) before we start working on your case.

Rush Services Surcharge: Work or petitions that need to be filed in less than 5 days from the day our firm is hired (the date contract is signed and fees are paid) may require a surcharge of $1,500 due to the last minute additional work overload placed on our team.
