Bueno mi experiencia con esta firma de abogados desde el punto de vista de ayuda a sus clientes y el estar pendientes de tu caso es realmente deficiente ya que decidí que me representarán en mi caso y al principio como todo te ofrecen los mejores abogados el mejor servicio y una gran representación ante tu caso. Pues resulta que no es así me cobraron más de $3000 dólares por llenar una forma y enviarla a USCIS, eso fue al rededor de 2 años atrás y pues ellos me enviaron una extensión a mi caso que está en revisión, y resulta que el día de hoy llamo a la oficina de abogados que supuestamente me representa para que me den una actualización sobre mi caso ya que dicha extensión ya expiró y por ende ellos debían estar pendiente de eso pero no, la respuesta de la persona que atendió mi llamada me dice que el caso con esta oficina ya estaba cerrado que iban averiguar que había pasado con eso y me devolverían la llamada, entonces queda uno con un sinsabor de que todo lo que dicen que van hacer pues a la final queda ahí plasmado de momento porque después de que te cobran para representarte y recibir un apoyo de una firma de abogados se convierte en que solo lo hacen por quitarte tu dinero que tanto cuesta obtenerlo en este país para que te digan después de 2 años su caso está cerrado sin Investigar primero antes de cerrar un caso de un cliente que pagó más de 3000 dólares por nada, se deberían tomar al menos el tiempo de eso de actualizarse en los casos que ellos toman, pero lamentablemente no es así solo buscan es el beneficio de ellos y no de los clientes. No deberían jugar con eso!!!

Although I am located in west coast and they are in east coast, I never felt the distance to be an issue. They are reasonably priced, professional, and Anjum always responded in a timely manner.

After a denial on my parole in place application and no hope given by other attorneys, I received a good recommendation about Attorney Helen Tarokic, who from the very start was very professional and clear on what my case required, which was a complicated one. She is very knowledgeable in her field, and has a qualified team that worked with me diligently. I was approved on my second parole in place application, and now I have my worker's permit and social security (Combo Card). I will continue to utilize her services on future applications. I am very satisfied with her counsel and services. I recommend her 100%.

The process of filing my EB-2 was not only making nervous but also giving me alot of challenges in terms of providing accurate information in the USCIS forms. Each check box matters on every USCIS form, and there is only correct way of doing it! I was nervous that I would make errors. When Mueni Muli and team came onboard, they did all the paperwork, consulted me all through the process and successfully filed and obtained an EB-2 approval!! It did not end there, the team reached out to me later and informed me that since there is a nearly 18-month delay in visa availability, we should file an EB-1. They assured me that it is doable, and the petition was very professionally put together to meet the EB-1 criteria. Through an exceptionally seamless interaction with Mueni and her team, we successfully filed an EB-1, and I am now a green card holder! The effort that team put in was so much, working long hours, compiling huge booklets of the petition and guiding me at every step of the process! I will highly recommend your services to the clients out there! Thank you for your outstanding work. You made it! we made it!

My name is Laurentiu and I am a Professional Tennis Coach.I would highly recommended Charlotte Immigration Law Firm, especially Ben Sneyder and Alex Muntean. They were always available and extremely helpful with all my questions. I am a professional tennis coach, I came to the United States with Visa O1 Extraordinary Ability Athletics and my first attempt to receive EB1 Extraordinary Ability Athletics was denied, because of poor quality of work of one of the lawyers in DC area. To transfer from O1 Extraordinary Abilithy to EB1 Extraordinary Ability is one of the hardest process towards Green Card Resident. After I found Charlotte Immigration Law Firm, both Ben and Alex from the first conversation showed their professionalism and dedication for their work. They helped me to fix and organize my paperwork, and follow me through each step of the process. No matter how difficult my case was and complicated problems were every time they showed confidence, professionalism and a great support. If you want confident and highly professional attorney Charlotte Immigration Law Firm is the place to go! Amaizing Law Firm and Professional Services!!!

From the initial conversation to the last, Mr. Bailey and his paralegal; Belkis provided us with an unrivaled experience. We unfortunately encountered an unusual turn of events due to COVID. Which led to USCIS shutting down, leaving us with no updates for quite some time. However, Mr. Bailey never gave up. He demonstrated great perseverance, and successfully turned every stone possible. His consistency and passion in serving was key in my wife's case successfully coming to a close. If you are looking for a passionate, persistent, and knowledgeable attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Bailey in all your Immigration needs.

I can't recommend Ben Frear enough! He's hands down the best E2 lawyer I've encountered. I talked to few before choosing him, and I'm so glad I did. Ben's deep understanding of E2 visa requirements was evident from the start. He broke down the complex process into manageable steps, easing my anxiety.Ben was instrumental in putting together and ensuring all my documents were flawless even though my case wasn't very strong. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial. His responsiveness and dedication were truly impressive. Thanks to Ben's expertise and hard work, I got my E2 approved without any issues and am now ready to embark on my entrepreneurial journey in the US. If you're looking for an E2 visa attorney, look no further. Ben is the one!

His attention to detail and expertise were instrumental in navigating the intricacies of a visa involving two investors. Ben's ability to analyze and address the unique challenges of our case showcased his dedication to ensuring a positive outcome. One of the standout features of working with Ben was his excellent communication. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed at every stage, providing clear explanations and updates. This level of transparency and responsiveness not only eased any concerns I had but also demonstrated his commitment to client satisfaction. Ben's approachable demeanor and willingness to address any questions or concerns promptly contributed to a stress-free experience.

We would like to have the pleasure to thank Neelam Bhardwaj Immigration Attorney for helping my husband and I during our processes of the Green Card. Ms. Bhardwaj and Kelli were very nice, welcoming, patient, professional, and understanding since the first day we’ve been to the office. Before we made the choice we made visits to other different law offices and we didn’t feel comfortable until we found their office. They know exactly what they’re doing. Ms. Bhardwaj has excellent reviews on the internet and she’s also well-known at the USCIS office, the officer who interviewed us knew their office. Ms. Bhardwaj helped us file initially for my husband’s green card. When it came time to file the removal of conditions and get my husband his permanent green card, we had Ms. Bhardwaj continue the process. We are lucky as we didn’t have to attend an interview; my husband just received his 10 year green card. We really recommend Neelam Bhardwaj Immigration Attorney for the outstanding service.

I have hired Ms. Bhardwaj law firm to help with various aspects of our immigration filings. In one situation my father’s case (several family based petitions) was a mess until I hired her office – as immigration had lost his file, his response and then denied his petitions that had been pending almost ten years. After reviewing carefully Neelam filed a motion to re-open and contacted the immigration office for follow up, and with strong arguments she achieved the desired results by getting all our petitions approved in six months. My entire family has received their immigrant visas and are now here. Neelam and her staff made this possible for us, our family is reunited after 22 years and we are so thankful to Neelam and her assistant, Kelli. What a wonderful team! I am very confident that Neelam and her team have capabilities to achieve the toughest goals within a reasonable time frame. Her excellent professionalism, punctuality and polite customer service is an added value to her clients. Her honesty and proper advice can be very helpful for complex cases, I highly recommend Ms. Bhardwaj for your immigration issues; you will never go wrong.

I decided to hire Ms. Bhardwaj in 2012 to help with my immigration status. Right after the first meeting she impressed me and my wife her welcoming character, professional knowledge, and experience. After carefully looking at my current situation, she filed all the paperwork in January and in a record time in April, my immigration status was fixed. This could not have been done without the help from Ms. Bhardwaj. Also, my special appreciation goes to Ms. Kelli Campbell for her professionalism and patience and for always helping with our matters. One thing I would like to point out is that Ms. Bhardwaj and her team treats her clients like a family. Words cannot describe how thankful I am that I had the chance to work Ms. Bhardwaj and her team and I would strongly recommend her to anyone regardless of what state that may be, because they have the ability to turn the immigration process from a complete nightmare to an enjoyable journey.

Ethan was an excellent help in the tail end of our immigration case. We had been having a very unsatisfactory experience with a previous lawyer for over 2 years, and with just a few short consultations (one related to paperwork clarification, another related to the immigration interview), we were able to complete the process quickly and with confidence, and just one month later, my wife's residency Visa was approved! We only wish we had come to him much sooner, we probably could have saved an extra year in the process. Thank you, Ethan!!

I can't remember how many lawyer jokes I've heard in my life, but I honestly don't believe any of them can apply to Ms. Farrin. What sets Bailey apart is her genuine concern for her clients well-being. I have consulted with Ms. Farrin several times about very serious automobile matters. Her knowledge of the applicable ordinances, and the best way to move forward were clearly evident. What was equally impressive was her concern about how I felt during the process. She really eased my anxiety about the situation and made me feel that she cared about how the entire experience could be managed.

Jack Rockers was a godsend. My husband and I initially contacted two other attorneys to help us navigate the process involved in changing my husband’s immigration status from TN to green card, and we were feeling demoralized by our experiences. The first attorney was nonresponsive; the second was ill informed and exploitative. Soon after we had consulted the second attorney, an acquaintance of mine recommended Jack. He was the perfect fit for us: friendly and accessible, professional and easygoing. His fee was reasonable, and being able to rely on him in helping us prepare and submit our application eased the stress and sense of uncertainty that my husband and I were feeling. We placed our trust in Jack, and he did not disappoint. Our initial meeting with him was on May 22, our application was finalized and mailed by June 12, and my husband was granted his green card on September 10. With each development along the way, the support staff at Hatch Law Office kept in prompt and constant touch. Moreover, Jack was honest with me when I asked if he thought my husband and I needed him to accompany us to our interview at the local USCIS office. He said that because our case was straightforward and we were so well organized and informed, he did not believe we needed to spend the extra money to have him accompany us. And he was right. I appreciate Jack’s integrity, and I strongly recommend him as an immigration attorney.

I am so impressed with Professionalism and Integrity but mostly I am touched by her caring and compassion. I was going down a list of lawyers from AVVO hoping I would get to talk to a lawyer. By happenstance I got through to her. She really listened to me; even though my thinking was warped and incoherent. I am human derelict; suffering from mental illness trying to keep it altogether and function as a normal human being with dignity. My case full of dumb human mistakes made by me and now as I am gaining more of my sanity, I am trying to unravel them get myself straightened out. Most lawyers want to get rid of my call as fast as they can. Or charge me $150 for a consultation. This lady quitely and patiently explained things to me. Despite other phone interruptions, she put me on hold yet came back to me. At one point she even called me back. She explained things to me without looking down or taking my dignity away. She eased my fear, even encouraged and gave me the confidence to file my own paperwork to sort out my green card. Since I still my lack of confidence in myself; she offered a very reasonable price. For lot less than what another lawyer offered to do it for. Bless her heart. This is the only way I know to say Thank You to a Amazingly compassionate human being.

First, she listened to everything that we needed and what we had already done. For example, we had already filed an I-130 but could not locate a copy of the I-94. She walked us through the steps of requesting a copy and then guided us through steps on where to go to actually find out what information was on the I-94 when a copy could not be found. Then, she was very honest with us about what we needed to do next. Unfortunately that honesty included the need to file another I-130 after the information we needed from the I-94 was found. She also had an incredible wealth of knowledge about different programs and paths. For example, we applied for a parole in place since I was former military. While we were denied for this it was crucial for us to find the information for our I-94 as the I-94 was the reason we were denied for the parole in place. Finally, she was available. We e-mailed, texted, called and she always got back with us. She never made us feel as if we were forgotten or neglected. If I ever had another immigration issue or knew anybody who did, I would recommend her first.

After a very difficult Visa process, we hired Tanya to help us get my husband to the US. She was so very thorough, I still have the two boxes of "proof" she submitted to USCIS. Finally his second interview came and he was approved after a 5 year ADministrative process. When his citizenship was an option. We reached out and hired her again. It took us less than a year, she made sure he had all of the documents, all of his quesitons answered and made sure he was prepared for the interview. He passed the interview and took the oath, registered to vote the very same day. Just received an email from her to let us know she has closed his file. I should have hired her in the very beginning. However, she did a fantastic job making sure we followed the rules and submitted all of the correct documentation. I'm glad we don't have to do this again but if we did, I would reach out to her immediately and let her to the job she does so well.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
