Listed below is a table of our fees for I-140 application after
Labor Certification and I-485 applications, which consist of attorney's
fees and filing fees. Filing fees are fees that are set by the USCIS
to cover the cost of its immigration services. Attorney's fees are
the fees charged by the firm for professional services rendered.
The initial attorney's fees are due upon signing the retainer agreement
with us. The filing fee is due anytime before the application is
filed with USCIS. Fees due upon approval (if applicable) are paid
when the USCIS approves the case. The fees range in price due to the
complexity of issues or length of process time and work involved.
Keep in mind that these fees are estimates and that fees may vary,
depending on the difficulty/simplicity and specific facts of each
individual case.
Filing Fees |
As mentioned above, filing fees are charged by the U.S. government (USCIS in particular). Processing thousands of applications is expensive and requires the services of dozens of immigration officers, specialists, analysts, managers, and other bureaucrats.
Note that filing fees that apply to your case should be submitted to our firm a sufficient period of time before filing your application with USCIS. |
Initial Attorney’s Fee |
The initial fee is due upon retaining Zhang & Associates. Our firm must receive this payment before we can start work on your case. |
Approval Attorney’s Fee |
The approval fee is due upon your application’s approval. Accordingly, this fee is applicable only if your L petition is approved. Note that it is due promptly after receiving an approval notice. |

An individual client may be charged at a higher fee, depending on the totality of the circumstances for the client.
