We often get asked whether someone should hire an immigration lawyer or if it is worth the cost. The answer is that your immigration process is one of the essential legal journeys that you may take in your life. Making a mistake can not only cost you additional time and money but may keep your family separated for years, sometimes even a decade. In today’s ultra political world, immigration rules change weekly, and it is challenging to keep up with the changes unless you concentrate your work in this area of law. A qualified Chicago Illinois  immigration lawyer can assist you, your business, or your family by providing the guidance necessary for a successful outcome.

Certain petitions may require a medical examination fee that generally costs between $150.00 -$350.00. This fee may be higher if the applicant requires vaccinations or other medical care beyond the exam.

Applicants may also have to pay for the translation of foreign documents and interpretation during interviews.

Original Document production fees may apply to obtaining birth certificates, marriage licenses, criminal records, etc. These vary by country and locality.

We often receive inquiries about potential clients wanting to prepare their forms and having the attorney review them for mistakes. While we understand the desire to reduce costs and immigration lawyer fees, the reality is that form preparation is not a big part of the service. Knowing what immigration benefit a client qualifies for and how to answer questions and prepare a thorough petition correctly is a much more significant portion of the attorney’s work and value. Further, in most cases, an immigration attorney will guide the client throughout the process beyond the actual preparation of the forms. Lastly, reviewing forms opens the attorney to essentially the same level of liability as if they had worked on the entire case. We do not offer a review-only service for the above reasons and do not recommend one.

Although you may apply for an immigration benefit without an immigration lawyer, the law is very complex, and a mistake can lead to delays or even deportation. Therefore, it is recommended that you obtain an immigration lawyer to assist you with such an essential matter in your life.

Some of the variables that affect an immigration lawyer fee include:

• Case Facts
