How much does it cost to hire an immigration lawyer? -

my husband is planning to file for his US citizenship, he s been a green card holder for almost 7 years, he already filed a petition for me and our daughter, is it possible that if my husband hire an immigration lawyer, our daughter and i will immigrate faster to the US?

No. The process takes the same amount of time no matter who prepares the paperwork. With your husband having a Green Card it will take just over 5 years for you and your child to get a visa. After he becomes a citizen it should only take 8 to 12 months. To prepare and file your hustand s citizenship application in addition to a petition for you and your daughter you re looking at fees of at least $3,500 to $4,000. Save the money, do it yourself.

If you have money and visible means of legal support, it will not be hard for you to get to be a US Citizen. If you are non-working, going on welfare type of people then it will take years. Hiring an attorney can cost from $1000 to $10000.

If its really important, most lawyers ll usually just take all the money you have right now and the promise of all the money you can borrow quickly from friends and family.

an attorney will not help expedite your case, but they will make sure all the forms are filled out properly, the fees are all the right amount, and everything is in order, you can pay an extra 1,000 to have your case expedited in some circumstances.

You may want to consider filing all the papers yourselves. The benefit of an Immigration Lawyer is they know all the forms and where and when to file them. There is NOTHING a lawyer can do to speed up the process. All the forms and instructions are available for free to download. Make sure you read them carefully and fill them out completely or they will be rejected and the process will take longer.

200$ an hour.1000$ Retaining fee.Alot of patience
