Questions answered
Common questions about immigration consulting
We get asked the same questions by almost every client. Here are honest answers to help you understand what immigration consulting is, how it works, and whether it's right for your situation.
How much does immigration consulting cost?
Rates are more affordable than hiring an immigration attorney. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case—a straightforward green card application costs less than a difficult case with prior rejections or complications. The best way to know your cost is to call us at (858) 505-8880 and describe your situation. We're transparent about pricing and can give you a clear estimate during your consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We understand that immigration consulting is an investment, so we offer flexible monthly installments to make our services affordable. You don't have to pay everything upfront. Talk to us about what works for your budget when you call.
What's the difference between a consultant and an immigration attorney?
Immigration consultants like us provide expert guidance on forms, processes, timelines, and document preparation. We help you understand what you need and how to organize your case. Attorneys provide legal advice and can represent you in court if needed. For most document-heavy cases—green cards, family petitions, visa applications—consulting is faster and more affordable. If your case involves legal defense or deportation proceedings, you'll need an attorney. We can refer you to trusted immigration attorneys if your situation requires legal representation.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. We offer bilingual support in English and Spanish. All of our services are available to Spanish-speaking clients without any extra cost or delay.
How long does the green card process take?
The timeline varies significantly depending on your category (family-based, employment-based, diversity visa, etc.), your country of origin, and current government processing times. Some cases move in 6–12 months; others take 2–3 years or longer. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and help you understand what to expect at each stage.
Can you help if my case was denied before?
Yes. We specialize in difficult cases, including those that have been denied or rejected. Understanding what went wrong the first time is crucial. We'll review your previous case, identify the issues, and help you prepare a stronger application or explore alternative pathways. Many clients have successfully moved forward after a denial with the right guidance.
How do I prepare for my USCIS interview?
Interview preparation is one of our core services. We review your documents with you, walk through the types of questions you'll be asked, conduct mock interviews to build your confidence, and make sure you're ready to answer clearly and honestly. Many clients feel nervous about interviews—we help reduce that anxiety by preparing you thoroughly.
