One Flat Fee. Everything Included.
Request a QuoteOur All-Inclusive Model
We have gone to an all-inclusive flat fee model. One fee, quoted in writing before your case begins, covers the case from start to finish: the legal work, the paralegal work, a full response to a Request for Evidence if one comes, and every administrative cost — copying, courier, all of it. No hourly billing, no add-ons. The only charge outside the fee is the government's own filing fee, paid directly to USCIS.
Request for Evidence
Under our model, there is no charge for a Request for Evidence — responding to it is included in your fee.
Appeal to the AAO
If USCIS denies the petition, a formal appeal on Form I-290B to the Administrative Appeals Office is a separate case, and it is not part of this engagement. An immigration case cannot be taken on a contingency basis in most jurisdictions, including California, and any lawyer who offers to take a case on a contingency basis is violating State Bar rules. And no lawyer can guarantee a result from USCIS.
Once Heller Immigration Law decides to take you on as a client, and things are ready to move forward in a formal engagement:
- We will send you the engagement letter. You review it and sign it.
- Once it is signed, we send the invoice — the fee stated in the engagement letter, due on receipt.
- We begin putting the case package together, working with you closely until the case is filed with USCIS.
- For company clients, the engagement agreement stands on its own for all future legal work: whenever a new kind of case comes up, we will tell you the fee and get your okay before we invoice it — then the work begins.
