Omar procured a 10 year green card for me, even though I felt like I had no chance, as I had to file to remove conditions as an individual. He accompanied me to the interview, made sure I was prepared, and I was approved on the spot. I would recommend Khan Nayyar and their immigration team 200%. I could not be more thankful and more grateful. They were by my side at each and every step and were compassionate, honest, truthful, knowledgeable, zealous, and the experience was better than anything I could have imagined. I have used used another attorney in the past, and the experience was night and day. I know I made the right choice.

In September 2023, I was involved in an auto accident with a person who had no insurance. I did not know what to do. A friend of mine referred the sevices of Mr. Siegel to me. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Mr. Siegel and his staff made the process very easy to understand. They always returned my phone calls, And got me a better settlement than I anticipated. He was fair and transparent, and made a very stressful situation for me, Into a good experience. If you are in an auto accident, I highly recommend Mr. Siegel. God forbid it ever happens to me again, But if it does, I am definitely going to Retain his services again.

I had a personal Injury case due to a bad car accident. I was rear-ended by a post office vehicle at a red light. Phil explained the process to me and walked me through every step of the way. He kept me up to date with the case the whole time. He went above and beyond for me and family. He even helped me by explaining the property damage portion which was not included in the contract and he had no obligation to help me with. I am very thankful for his help and would 100% recommend him to anyone who has a PI case. Great attorney.

I contacted Mr. Fleming to seek his services in a green card application. Unlike other lawyers that I contacted who were ready to charge $2000 for minimal work, Mr. Fleming provided with all the paperwork and guidance I would need to fill the paperwork out myself, free of charge. He assured me that I had a simple case and didn't need to pay someone for these services. I really appreciated that. I will absolutely contact him for any future needs.

Trisha was amazing from start to finish throughout my Green Card application process. Not only was she very responsive and thorough about the whole process - she made us feel at ease. She was also able to rectify some previous issues (prior to hiring her), which made the entire Green Card application/interview process go much more smoothly. She was also a pleasure to work with throughout the stressful times of the pandemic and she navigated the situation very meticulously. I would highly recommend her for any immigration matters.

I highly recommend Julie for anyone seeking legal assistance, in any immigration matters simple or complex. Her expertise, diligence, and meticulous approach made a significant difference in my case. Despite my initial concerns, she not only listened but also reviewed my case thoroughly, finding crucial evidence in my parents' immigration documents. Her dedication and knowledge not only expedited my case but also brought clarity to what seemed like a complex situation. Without her, the process could have taken years, but thanks to Julie, it was resolved in approximately five months.

She had confidence in our case and helped facilitate a seamless proccess, even through a pandemic. It felt relieving knowing we had someone so capable and professional handling our future.
Hopefully, we will cross paths in the future and we feel confident and comfortable referring her to anyone with our similar situation.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to attorney Kristina Kananchuk for providing professional assistance and for the favorable outcome of my family’s case. From the very beginning, our family felt attention to every detail in our case and a complete understanding of our situation. Kristina wasvery easy to communicate with. As well as her whole team was very helpful from the beginning to the end. She clearly and very accessibly explained the course of the case itself, as well as possible options for the development of events. I am grateful to the chance that in a difficult situation there was a reliable, patient, attentive, friendly, and honest lawyer nearby. I surely recommend Kananchuk Law to anyone who needs qualified legal assistance and human support.

I consider myself fortunate that she was my lawyer. My case seemed insurmountable. I was here for years and didn’t have documents and several lawyers told me that I don’t have a way of staying even though I was paying taxes for years. It turned out that because my father was sponsored when I was a minor, I had a way to stay with paying a fine. In the end things worked out because this lawyer appeared to have read all this laws and knew the law that helped me.

Dr. Vepachedu is one of the best patent attorneys in the country who counseled me through every step in submitting my patent to the USPTO where each embodiment in the patent was strengthened by the claims Rao wrote that covered every angle making it strong enough to be secured, maintained, and protected once it issues. I've worked with a few patent attorneys over the years and have yet to find anyone even close to having the prepared knowledge as Rao has when it comes to the preparation experience of taking a persons in-depth technical patent like mine and bringing it to life.

Rao is a born IP lawyer. He is extremely intellectual and curious of various areas of life. My patent relates to classical music and mechanical aspects of violins and violas. I did not expect him to be interested in musical instruments, because of his vast experience in pharmaceutical industry. But he was curious and willing to learn. He is also confident and has a fighting spirit. My patent application was first rejected as many expected, but he submitted a response with such concrete proof that it was granted.

Highly recommend. Our B1/B2 visas went into administrative processing after the interviews, with a risk of going into a long and opaque 2 year process.

Attorney Miglore is THE G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Times) when it comes to Criminal Law. He was able to do what others said would NEVER EVER happen. My spouse had an issue that he was grandfathered into when the laws changed which was out of state that required him to register as a sex offender. We lived in Illinois for a brief period and to be in compliance with the law he had to register. The out of state Judge granted an order to remove him from the registry nationally. Since we lived in Illinois briefly, he was on the registry and was told that he would be on the Ilinois registry for the rest of his life, even though we don't reside there anymore. Hiring Attorney Miglore was the BEST DECISION of our lives. He was victorious in getting my spouse removed off of the Illinois registry, I mean REMOVED COMPLETELY. He knows the law and works hard for his clients. There are no words to express our appreciation and gratitude for the interest that he took to get this resolved. We are forever grateful. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! If you ever need the BEST look no further contact Attorney Salvatore Miglore, a True Professional with the IT Factor. (Integrity & Trust)

My wife received a ticket for not properly stopping by a school bus in a school zone. it was total B.S. she was stopped the bus was moving with his sign out! Naturally there was a ticket maid from the government to watch and nail her with a ticket. He probably sits there all day. Its just another revenue generator for local government. Its a very serious ticket because they threaten to restrict or suspend your license ( its all about kids safety right?lol) Plus she works as a nanny and submits to background checks. she was interviewing with a couple when this happened and this ticket came up in a check on care.org and they suspended my wife's account like she was guilty!!! what happen to innocent until proven guilty. it was a real mess.
Sal got it changed to a changing lanes violation with online drivers improvement school and a probation period. These over paid ticket maid are out to nail you and generate revenue for the local government. thats their real job. Do not let them steal from you. You have rights. Hire Sal!
To end a bright note the couple hired my wife with a four year contract. They said everyone knows what the cops are up to so it didn't bother them in the least.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Kendra and her team in the past 5 years on my successful petitions to obtain Permanent Residency (including Removal of Conditions on PR) and eventually Citizenship.
Kendra gained my full trust with her professionalism, experience, knowledge and compassion at our very first meeting.
Her plan of action and approach to the matter was simply excellent and it gave me huge comfort knowing that I had Kendra on my side during this process.
My case was a tricky one from the start and it got even more complex when I was faced with a federal tax issue during the pending petitions.
Kendra is a fantastic immigration attorney and human and I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for the best representation.
Looking forward to working with Kendra and her team for future petitions for my family.

Amanda was the lawyer who managed my application for permanent residence. She was fantastic. Not only does she have a deep understanding of the labyrinthine contradictions of US immigration law, but she has a talent for explaining them to normal people. She understands that you will have options for how you choose to present and file your application, and will guide you towards the choice that is most likely to produce success.
She marched me through the process of creating an application like a (very polite) drill sergeant, ensuring that each letter, and each piece of supporting information, was presented in the optimal fashion.
I will gladly vouch for both her expertise and her professionalism.

I needed a lawyer for a very sensitive legal matter. I spoke to 7 lawyers before hiring Kathleen. It took 5 minutes on the phone for me to realize she was honest and extremely knowledgeable. After hirering her I learned she could also advice me on almost everything, not just law. She has a movie worthy background with experiences in many professions and industries, it’s unbeleivable how young she is to have done so much in life. She is a talented artist, can diagnose your car’s issues and prepare your taxes while telling you how to plan and cook a romantic dinner for your vegetarian wife, lol. I know that is not usual for a lawyer. Sorry if I embarrass you for mentioning your art Kathleen :) Best lawyer I’ve ever met! She won my case and my neighbors quickly and at her flat fee we agreed to in the begging, no billing surprises or other issues. I recommend this lawyer for any legal issue as well as just about everything you need assistance with. We can’t wait till she graduates from medical school!

I have a lot of friends that I refer to Kathleen and she is my attorney as well. She is extremely understanding and compassionate and will always fight for her clients. She does extremely well with thinking outside of the box if a conventional method is moot. I will never go with anyone else unless she refers me.

We hired Ms Berte' for completing the K-1 fiance Visa application for my wife from the Philippines. She completed everything for us, informed us what the process was step by step, what we needed to do at our end, and kept us up to date. Everything went smooth, and couldn't imagine going through this process without an attorney. We're glad we chose Nancy!

I am a long term and loyal client of Ms. Nancy A Berte’ since we came to America in 2007. She has helped my wife, my son and me secure our Green card status (I-140EB2, I-140EB1A, I-485s). Without her great help, we would not have obtained our green cards. For example, she strongly suggested us to file for green cards on July 31, 2007 online and we did. We were lucky because that was the last day to submit the documentations to the USCIS, and I-485 would not be opened by USCIS for years to come. She had also helped us with numerous other instances with great success such as re-entry permits twice, and recently green card renewal. Each time was met with tremendous success. We are quite grateful of her help. She has excellent work ethics. It is evident from the email sent time that she works hard and efficiently. She always responds to our emails and questions in a timely manner and to the point. She has outstanding people skills and listens to her clients. Her funds of knowledge in her profession is incredible. She is very dependable and responsible. We highly recommend her to anyone who seek legal advice in her areas of expertise.

I , hired Nancy and her firm for our immigration case in 2015. She, from the beginning made sure that our case was taken seriously. She always answered all my questions very quickly. I’ll forever be thankful for her time, dedication and hard work that she put on our case. Eventually, I got my I-140 got approved about two years before under NIW. Now she is working on filing petition for me under EB1-OR and I am hopeful to get a positive result this time too since I have all the faith on my lawyer. I will recommend her to anyone without a doubt who is in similar situation like me.

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You
An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process. These lawyers provide legal guidance on various immigration matters, such as obtaining visas, gaining permanent residency (green cards), applying for citizenship, and defending clients in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration lawyers also assist with employment-based immigration, asylum applications, and resolving issues related to visas or immigration status.
Whether you're trying to immigrate to the U.S., facing deportation, or sponsoring an employee or family member for a visa, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your legal options and navigate the often complicated legal system.
When Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?
Hiring an immigration lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you are dealing with U.S. immigration laws, whether for personal or business reasons. Common reasons to hire an immigration lawyer include:
- Visa applications: If you need assistance applying for a visa, whether it's a work visa (H-1B), student visa (F-1), or tourist visa (B-1/B-2), a lawyer can help ensure the application is properly completed and submitted.
- Green card applications: If you're seeking permanent residency, an immigration lawyer can guide you through the process, whether through family sponsorship, employment, or the Diversity Visa (lottery) program.
- Deportation or removal defense: If you’re facing deportation or removal from the U.S., a lawyer can defend your case in immigration court and seek to prevent removal.
- Asylum applications: If you’re seeking asylum due to persecution or fear of persecution in your home country, a lawyer can help you prepare a strong case and file for asylum.
- Family reunification: If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident looking to bring family members to the U.S., a lawyer can assist with the family sponsorship process.
- Citizenship and naturalization: If you're ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, a lawyer can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure you meet all the requirements.
- Business immigration: If you're an employer seeking to hire foreign workers, a lawyer can assist with employment-based visas, labor certification, and compliance with immigration regulations.
- Special immigration categories: Immigration lawyers also handle complex cases, such as visas for victims of human trafficking (T visa), crime victims (U visa), or those seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Hiring an immigration lawyer early in the process can help you avoid delays, errors, and possible denials due to incomplete or incorrect applications.
What Does an Immigration Lawyer Do?
An immigration lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients with their immigration needs, whether personal or business-related. Their tasks often include:
- Assisting with visa applications: Helping clients fill out and submit visa applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
- Filing for green cards and permanent residency: Guiding clients through the process of applying for a green card, including family-based, employment-based, or other forms of residency.
- Defending against deportation or removal: Representing clients in immigration court who are facing deportation and working to prevent removal from the U.S.
- Preparing asylum cases: Assisting clients in applying for asylum based on fear of persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
- Handling citizenship applications: Helping lawful permanent residents apply for naturalization and ensuring they meet all the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship.
- Employment-based immigration: Assisting employers with the process of sponsoring foreign workers for temporary or permanent visas, including H-1B, L-1, and EB-1 through EB-5 visas.
- Representation in immigration interviews: Preparing clients for immigration interviews and attending interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices.
- Appealing denied applications: If a visa, green card, or citizenship application is denied, a lawyer can file appeals or motions to reopen or reconsider the case.
How Are Immigration Lawyers Paid?
Immigration lawyers generally charge for their services based on the type of immigration case and the complexity of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many immigration lawyers charge a flat fee for specific services, such as preparing a visa application, green card petition, or citizenship application. Flat fees help clients know upfront what the legal costs will be for a particular service.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as deportation defense or appeals, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing immigration matters, some clients may need to pay a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some immigration lawyers or nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in asylum or humanitarian cases.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.
How Much Does an Immigration Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer varies based on the type of legal service required, the lawyer's experience, and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Visa applications: For help with visa applications (e.g., H-1B, L-1, F-1), legal fees may range from $2,000 to $7,500, depending on the complexity and the type of visa.
- Green card applications: Fees for family-based or employment-based green card applications typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the case.
- Deportation defense: For defending clients in removal proceedings, costs can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and how long the case takes.
- Asylum cases: Asylum applications may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on whether the case is defensive (in removal proceedings) or affirmative (not in removal proceedings).
- Citizenship applications: Legal fees for filing a naturalization application usually range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s immigration history.
- Business immigration services: Fees for assisting businesses with employment-based visas (such as H-1B or EB-5 visas) often range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs and fee arrangements before proceeding with legal services.
Top Questions to Ask an Immigration Lawyer
Before hiring an immigration lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Important questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with immigration cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s family-based immigration, employment visas, or asylum. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including any challenges you might face. -
How long will the process take?
Immigration cases can take time, so ask how long it may take to process your application or resolve your legal issue. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly. -
What documents do I need to provide?
Ask the lawyer about the documentation required to support your case, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or employment contracts.
How to Check the Credibility of an Immigration Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable immigration lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their state bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific immigration law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in immigration law and have experience handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle immigration cases.
- Check for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) can indicate the lawyer’s expertise and commitment to immigration law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an immigration lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Passport and immigration documents: Bring your passport, visa, and any documents related to your current immigration status.
- Family documents: If you're applying for a family-based visa or green card, bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of family relationships.
- Employment information: For employment-based visas, provide your employment contract, offer letter, or other documentation of your job.
- Criminal records (if applicable): If you have any criminal history, bring copies of court records and other relevant documents.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any prior immigration applications, visas, or issues with immigration authorities.
- List of questions: Prepare any questions you have about your immigration case, the process, costs, and the likelihood of success.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
