Applicants and employers
interested in hiring our firm to prepare their immigration petitions
often have numerous questions. We hope these answer some of them; if
not, please do not hesitate to email us.
Isn't it
just filling out forms? Can't I do that myself?
Immigration forms appear deceptively easy. However an INS form is
a minefield of legal technicalities which are not apparent to a
layperson. Unfortunately, these technicalities can cause a petition or
application to be rejected by the INS. Given the lengthy
processing times, having a petition rejected or kicked back can
seriously affect a foreign national and a U.S. employer's planning by
unnecessarily delaying an approval by several months.
We have helped applicants who have tried to save money by preparing an
immigration petition on their own, only to do it incorrectly. The end
result is that additional time is spent having to clean up the
application of the mistakes made making the total dollar amount spent more
than if the applicant had hired an immigration attorney in the
first place.
Why
should I hire you as my lawyer?
There are many reasons. Here are a few.
Attorney-assistance: An attorney
will handle your case. Not a paralegal. You will not be passed off
to a paralegal after you have hired our firm, never to hear from an
attorney again.
Availability/Accessibility: Client got a question? He can send us
an email, and we'll get back to him in the same day. Our clients
love this feature and appreciate that their questions are answered very
quickly. Clients who had hired other attorneys before are especially
impressed with our response time.
Reasonable fees: Our legal fees are quite reasonable compared to
other law firms. We believe that it is important for clients to feel
they received value for their money. Value comes from getting results at
a fair rate.
I want to hire your firm, what is the next step?
Contact us immediately. We will
email back to you an engagement letter as an attachment and request that
you place a retainer (deposit) using your credit card on our secure
server. Our secure server is equipped with anti-fraud technology to
ensure that your confidential information is kept safe.
Once we receive the signed engagement letter and retainer, we will
commence legal representation immediately. You'll be pleased
with how quickly we move and begin working on your case.
Can you help me if I live in another state?
Yes! Immigration law is federal and applies equally to all U.S.
states. An attorney can represent a client in a different state so long
as he's licensed in one state. We utilize email, FedEx, fax, and the
phone extensively so that distance makes no difference. We've
successfully represented clients all over the world and the U.S.
What kinds of cases does your law firm handle?
Our law firm focuses on corporate immigration, servicing the
nonimmigrant visa and green card needs of companies. We particularly
cater to the needs of high-tech companies and have successfully helped
such companies like 7-Up and eMachines.
In addition, we also have a department that handles family immigration. In this department we have K-1 fiance(e) visa
specialists as well as other family immigration staff who can help those
seeking to obtain green cards through family relationships.
