Understanding the Immigration Process
While every case is different, most immigration matters involve several key stages:
- Eligibility and strategy - Determining the appropriate visa, benefit, or defense based on your background and goals
- Application and petition filing - Preparing forms, supporting documentation, and legal arguments for submission to agencies such as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Agency review and requests for evidence (RFEs) - Responding to government inquiries and supplementing the record when necessary
- Interviews or hearings - Appearing before USCIS officers or immigration judges, depending on the type of case
- Final decision and next steps - Approval, denial, appeals, or renewal/adjustment options
A proactive legal strategy at each stage can reduce delays and improve the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

What does an immigration lawyer do?
An immigration lawyer meets with clients to gather information and determine how to achieve the client’s goals by using the legal framework provided in the INA. Then the lawyer will provide legal guidance and representation to individuals, families, businesses, and non-profits on navigating the U.S. immigration system. This includes assisting with visa applications, PERM processing, green cards, naturalization, deportation defense, asylum claims, waivers, and more. Our role is to ensure that every legal step is followed timely, correctly, and strategically to protect your status and future in the United States.
-
Why should I hire an experienced immigration lawyer instead of doing it myself?
Immigration law is one of the most complex areas of the U.S. legal system. A person’s immigration status can be impacted by intertwined local, state, and federal laws. Due to the executive branch’s use of executive orders and attorney general certified decisions, immigration law can change abruptly. A single mistake such as submitting incomplete documentation or missing a deadline can result in serious consequences, including denial, delays, additional costs, or removal from the United States. An experienced immigration attorney understands the latest regulations, policy changes, and case strategies; helping to minimize risk and maximize your chances of approval.

How much does it cost to hire an immigration attorney in Lincoln, NE?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case and the experience of the attorney. Like many other professions, there are attorneys with a wide range of costs due to experience levels and strategies. For example, an attorney that just started in immigration law may charge a smaller fee than a more experienced or well thought of attorney. Some firms offer low costs by delegating all casework and communication to non-attorney staff members. We offer individualized immigration strategies that are tailored to the client’s needs and strengths. While we take pride in our paralegals, we know that attorney- client communication is important. Accordingly, our attorneys meet with clients to prepare for interviews, review all documents before they are filed, and answer questions as they arise. We implement transparent, flat-fee pricing whenever possible, and payment plans may be available for qualifying clients. We encourage you to schedule a consultation so we can provide a personalized estimate.
