How much does a second opinion on your immigration case cost?
$50. That buys an independent review of where you actually stand — read against the regulation, with every finding quoted from the source so you can check it yourself. If you go on to a full Assessment, the $50 comes off the price.
We publish our prices on this page. You should not have to book a call to find out what something costs.
Every price is a fixed, one-time fee. What changes between them is how much document you hand over.
| What you get | What you bring | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Second OpinionAn independent read on where you actually stand. | Your profile, or an assessment you already have. | $50Credited toward an Assessment if you go further. |
| AssessmentA full eligibility work-up across the routes open to you. | Your record. | $900$850 if you have already had a Second Opinion. |
| Petition ReviewYour drafted petition, read criterion by criterion against the regulation. | The brief and its exhibits. | Quoted at intake |
| RFE ResponseA guided response to a USCIS Request for Evidence. | The notice and your evidence. | Quoted at intake |
| Guided FilingEnd-to-end preparation for O-1A, EB-1A or EB-2 NIW. | Everything. | Quoted at intake |
Where a price is quoted at intake, it is still a fixed fee and still given to you in writing before you commit to anything — it depends on how much document there is to read, and we would rather quote it than guess in public.
Questions
- How much does a second opinion on an immigration case cost?
- A Second Opinion is $50. It is an independent review of where your case stands, cited to the regulation, and the $50 is credited toward a full Assessment if you go further.
- Why isn't the second opinion free?
- Because free assessments are sales tools, and that shapes what they tell you. An assessment given away to win your business has a reason to say you look promising. Being paid for the read itself means we can tell you not to file — and on a real number of cases, that is the answer.
- How is this different from a paid consultation with an immigration lawyer?
- A consultation is a first opinion and usually ends in a retainer proposal. This is a second opinion — a read on work that already exists, from someone who is not your attorney and is not asking to be. We are not a law firm, we do not give legal advice, and your attorney of record makes every decision.
- Do I still need a lawyer?
- For most people, yes, and we will say when. A second opinion is most useful alongside counsel rather than instead of them.
- Can I get a second opinion at any stage?
- Yes. Before you decide whether to petition, while you are gathering evidence, after a lawyer has drafted your petition, when a Request for Evidence arrives, or after a denial. The question is the same at every stage, and the price follows how much document there is to read.
- What do I actually receive?
- A written review you can hand to your attorney. Every substantive point cites primary authority — 8 CFR, the USCIS Policy Manual, AAO decisions — quoted rather than paraphrased, so you can check it against the source instead of taking our word for it.
