Description of service
Immigration Lawyer to apply for Legal Residency - $895.00
Service included OBTAINING correct forms, helping fill out the forms, answering questions, contacting USCIS.
Review of Service
Although the Lawyer was professional and somewhat informative, it was not a good value for my money. Looking around for Immigration Lawyers was a hard task in itself because local people do not seem that knowledgeable about Immigration Laws etc. The quality of the service was good, but very drawn out. Getting forms from USCIS is something that you can do on your own, so is filling them out. Due to intimidation from USCIS a lot of people use Lawyers to avoid the stress and confusion of Immigration Laws and the whole Immigration Process. However, after speaking to others who have done the process on their own, they became Legal Resident's quicker and that it was less expensive. These people also assured me that it was not that hard to do it on your own. Lawyer fees only include their services, not the additional form fees. My Lawyer did not inform me of these fees for the first couple of consultations with him.
Tips
If you are limited on money I would recommend doing this on your own. For myself and my two children our Immigration Form Fees were $2000.00, plus we paid an additional $895.00 in Lawyer fees. Do not let the forms intimidate you, they really are not that hard to figure out. I would recommend looking on the USCIS website before contacting a Lawyer.
