Set an Appointment

Please contact one of our offices if you would like to schedule a consultation about your immigration case. The consultation can be:

  • in person in our offices in Los Angeles, Guangzhou, Beijing, or Shenyang;
  • by phone; or
  • online by Skype.

The consultation has two purposes. First, the lawyer will speak with you and review the relevant documents to learn the facts of the case. Second, the lawyer will give you advice about case strategy. You may be eligible for various types of visas. For each one, the lawyer can tell you: the requirements and procedures to get the visa; the conditions for staying in the U.S. with the visa; what are the odds of success and whether there are potential problems with your application; an estimate of how long the application will take; and what the fees would be for you to apply for that visa based on the facts of your case and based on how much work our law firm would need to do. The consultation is confidential.

Payment

The consultation fee is 800 RMB (or 120 USD) for a 90-minute consultation. (In some complex cases the fee may be higher).

We accept payments in cash, U.S. check, or wire transfer. We are unable to accept credit cards. If your appointment will not be in person, please pay in advance.

During the consultation, we will discuss the total fee for handling the case. The fee will depend on how much work we estimate will be needed for the case. After we learn the detailed facts of your case and help you to decide on a legal strategy, then we can give you a quote for the legal fee.
