STARTING YOUR CASE
What this service involves
We begin by reviewing your immigration history, eligibility, documents and goals. This helps us determine whether the standard service described here fits your situation and what evidence will be needed.
PREPARING YOUR RECORD
Typical documents we review
The exact documents depend on your history, eligibility and the filing requirements.
- Adverse USCIS decision and receipt history
- Available underlying application and submitted evidence

LEGAL PREPARATION
How we prepare the case
We analyze eligibility, jurisdiction and deadline, develop the USCIS appellate theory and prepare Form I-290B with one substantive brief and exhibits.
We explain the filing plan and any case-specific concerns before the representation begins.
FLAT-FEE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
What is included and what costs extra
Flat attorney fee for one standard USCIS Form I-290B motion to reopen, motion to reconsider, or appeal to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). Includes review of the adverse decision and available record; assessment of procedural eligibility, filing deadlines, and grounds for the motion or appeal; strategy and legal research; preparation of Form I-290B; one principal legal brief; ordinary supporting declarations and exhibits when applicable; filing with the appropriate USCIS office; and routine case tracking. Excludes government filing fees; translations; expert reports; extensive record retrieval; complex criminal or inadmissibility matters; new underlying benefit applications; additional motions or appeals; federal litigation. The final filing route, deadline, and scope are determined from the adverse decision and governing instructions. Does not include EOIR/BIA motions or BIA appeals. Where applicable, responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) relating to the covered matter are included in the flat attorney fee. Any USCIS Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) response arising from this covered application or representation, like a related Request for Evidence (RFE) response, is included in the stated flat attorney fee at no additional attorney charge.
The signed representation agreement controls the exact scope. Government fees and outside costs, where applicable, are not included unless expressly stated.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we begin
Are government filing fees included in the price?
No. The displayed amount is the attorney fee. USCIS, consular, medical, translation and other third-party charges, when applicable, are separate unless the specific scope expressly says otherwise.
Will you charge an extra attorney fee if USCIS sends an RFE or NOID?
No additional attorney fee is charged for RFE or NOID responses arising within a Green Chavez matter already covered by a flat-fee representation agreement. The separately priced RFE and NOID services are only for new clients with applications filed independently or by another firm.
How do I find out whether my case fits this standard fee?
