INITIAL CONSULTATION
We understand that meeting with an attorney can be a little overwhelming, especially when you’re moving to a new country (or trying to remain in the US with your family). That’s why the initial consultation is so important. During this first meeting, we:
​
-
Gather an understanding of your history and immigration background
-
Answer questions that you have about your immigration case
-
Discuss and develop an immigration strategy to becoming a US citizen (if this is what you want)
-
Explain the fees and estimates of costs so you’re aware and can plan for your future​
We don’t review your paperwork for completeness or accuracy at the initial consultation. You must complete your paperwork correctly. We can assist with answering specific questions regarding the application process and your next steps.
