About San Diego Immigration Lawyers

What Can a San Diego Immigration Lawyer Do for You?
A San Diego immigration lawyer can assist you in all phases of the immigration process. They can help ensure your immigrant rights are protected, while also ensuring that you are in compliance with all immigration laws to reduce the risk of legal penalties. One way that an immigration attorney will accomplish this is through advising you on which visa you should apply for. Should emergency access to citizenship be necessary, an attorney will be aware of how best to proceed.

Immigration lawyers can also help those who are seeking to obtain citizenship through naturalization, as opposed to immigration. No matter which route you choose, your immigration lawyer will help you gather all needed documentation, as well as file all required forms within the required timeframe. They can provide assistance for any citizenship tests that may be imposed. Finally, they will represent you in court as needed, should any issues related to immigration or deportation arise.

How Much Does an Immigration Lawyer Cost?
There are many costs associated with immigration. While hiring an immigration lawyer will add to these costs, it may be worth it to know that some of the more complicated aspects of the process are being handled by a professional.

In terms of how much an immigration lawyer costs, this varies drastically according to several different factors. Some of these factors are:

  • The complexity of the case;
  • The country of origin, as some countries face additional restrictions;
  • The exact services required; and
  • How many people from one family are needing services.

Generally speaking, applying for a work permit will cost between $300 and $600. Something more complex, such as deportation defense, could cost as much as $15,000. Some attorneys may charge more if they are especially experienced, or are located in larger cities, such as San Diego. National averages are showing that the total fee for a simple immigration case would be as low as $1,500.
