Still, it is essential to note that the prices charged by your attorney may vary as different lawyers may charge different rates for filing basic immigration forms, USCIS fees, and green card assistance.
Also, more experienced and skilled lawyers who focus on a given area of immigration will usually charge higher rates for their specific services.
