Find Top Immigration Lawyers and Attorneys Online

An immigration lawyer represents clients in court or provides legal guidance in regard to the immigration process. Whether you’re looking to file paperwork for a green card or citizenship, a work permit, or any other kind of visa in the U.S. or abroad, UpCounsel’s online network can help you hire a skilled immigration attorney who can assist you in successfully navigating complex immigration laws.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire An Immigration Lawyer In The U.S.?

The cost of an immigration attorney can vary depending on the specific application. Some attorneys charge a flat fee, while others charge an hourly fee. The typical rate that you can expect to pay is around $150 to $300 an hour.

How To Find The Best Immigration Lawyer

You can use UpCounsel to sort through top immigration lawyers by state, who can provide a range of services for individuals and businesses. Look for attorneys that will be available on an ongoing basis and are willing to help you on-demand.

Click here to easily find & compare the top immigration lawyers in your state for free.

Can An Immigration Lawyer Speed Up The Process?

While the processing of immigration applications depends greatly on the speed at which the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services works, hiring an immigration attorney to help you fill out and submit paperwork, as well as respond to follow-up inquiries, can significantly speed up the process. Immigration itself takes a substantial amount of time, but having a professional support you can ease the burden and help you meet your goals much quicker.

Do Immigration Lawyers Really Help?

You may be tempted to work on an application and resolve any outstanding issues on your own, but with the amount of paperwork and back and forth that’s often required from the government, it can quickly become overwhelming. Immigration is a highly complicated and difficult matter to navigate, which is why you should consider using UpCounsel’s online immigration attorney network to hire or consult the best immigration lawyer for your unique case, even for something as simple as a travel visa.

Is Immigration Law Hard?

Immigration law is complex and may require knowledge of both federal and state laws. Top immigration lawyers who specialize in these matters will be familiar with nationwide and local policies, so if you’re having difficulty dealing with an application, it’s best to contact a law firm to get set up with an attorney.

Request for Further Evidence (RFE) from USCIS - Assistance Needed

Wayne Nguyen

"I engaged Wayne's services to respond to USCIS concerning the removal of conditions on my permanent residency. I posted a job on UpCounsel detailing my need for assistance in responding to the RFE. Wayne Nguyen responded with a proposal, indicating his extensive experience in immigration law and offering to handle my case for a flat fee of $900. We exchanged emails to clarify the scope of work, and I confirmed that the flat fee would cover a comprehensive response. However, during the phone consultation on July 9th, Wayne was several minutes late, and when I called him, it was apparent that he was in a noisy environment. He seemed unprepared (having not reviewed my case until we began the call) and unfamiliar with relevant aspects of my case. The 20-minute phone consultation did not provide me with any new information or actionable advice. Wayne was not sure on the best way to response to the RFE and then simply agreed with the response method that I suggested. He essentially just advised that I could handle the RFE response myself, which contradicted the service he initially proposed. It is clear he had not read the information that I provided."
