While government filing fees are standard and fixed, the costs for professional services from a company or attorney can vary significantly. These fees are based on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the specific needs of the client, the firm's location, and the attorney's experience.

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa 👰🤵

The K-1 visa cannot be renewed. The process involves multiple steps, and a company's or attorney's fee often covers the entire process from start to finish.

• Government Filing Fees:

  • Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé): 💲675

  • DS-160 application fee: 💲265

  • Medical examination: Varies, typically 💲100–💲400

  • Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) after marriage: 💲1,440

• Company/Attorney Fees: A typical flat fee for a K-1 visa case can range from 💲1,500 to over 💲8,500. This fee often includes preparing and filing the petition, preparing the client for the consular interview, and providing guidance on the adjustment of status process.

DS-160: Nonimmigrant Visa Application 📄

The DS-160 is a single application for a specific visa and is not renewed. While you can complete it yourself, some people hire a company or attorney to ensure it's filled out correctly, especially if they have a complex immigration history.

• Government Filing Fee: 💲185 for most nonimmigrant visas.

• Company/Attorney Fees: If an attorney assists with the DS-160, fees can range from a few hundred dollars to over 💲1,000, depending on the complexity of the client's case.

Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Like other immigration petitions, the I-130 has a one-time filing fee. The approval does not expire, so it does not need to be renewed.

• Government Filing Fee: 💲625 (online) or 💲675 (paper).

• Company/Attorney Fees: The fees for an attorney to handle a family-based petition can range from 💲2,000 to over 💲5,000, depending on whether it's a simple case or a more complex one involving consular processing or adjustment of status.

Form I-130A: Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary 💑

This form is filed along with the I-130 for a spouse. It has no separate government filing fee. Any attorney's fee for this would be included in the overall cost for the I-130 petition.

BCC: Border Crossing Card 🛂

A Border Crossing Card (BCC) is not renewed; a new application is required. The fee structure for the BCC is tied to the B-1/B-2 visa application.

• Government Filing Fee: The fee for the BCC is included in the nonimmigrant visa application fee, which is 💲185.

• Company/Attorney Fees: The cost to hire a professional for a BCC application is similar to that of a B-1/B-2 visa. This can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars for a simple case.

I-94 and B1/B2 Visitor Visas ✈️

The I-94 is a record of your admission, not a visa itself. B-1/B-2 visas are for temporary stays and are not renewed; you must apply for a new one.

• Government Filing Fees:

  • I-94 fee (for land border entry): 💲6

  • B-1/B-2 visa application (DS-160) fee: 💲185

  • Form I-539 (to extend stay): 💲420

• Company/Attorney Fees: An attorney assisting with a B-1/B-2 visa application, especially if there are complexities, can charge anywhere from 💲1,000 to 💲2,000. For an extension of stay (Form I-539), fees can range from 💲1,000 to 💲2,500.

Services We Facilitate 🧑‍⚖️

We can assist attorneys in preparing for and navigating cases that have exhausted administrative remedies and now require action in federal court. These services include:

• Mandamus Actions: Filing a lawsuit in federal court to compel a government agency to perform its legal duty and make a decision on a case that has been unreasonably delayed.

Important Note on Fees 💰

Fees for advanced immigration services are always done on a case-by-case basis. This is because the complexity and time commitment for federal litigation and appeals vary widely. Costs will depend on the specific legal challenge, the court jurisdiction, and the attorney's expertise.
