Common questions.

The answers immigration lawyers usually charge a consultation fee to answer. Don't see yours? We're happy to help.

You start with a free assessment — answer a few questions about your background and goals, and we tell you honestly which visa fits and how strong your case looks. From there, you can choose to build your case yourself with AI-guided tools (with attorney review before filing), or hand the case to a dedicated Faircase attorney who takes it from start to finish. Either way, every petition is reviewed and signed by a licensed immigration attorney before it's filed.
That depends on your background, your goals, and your timeline. The most common paths are: O-1 or EB-1A for individuals with recognized excellence in their field; H-1B for professionals with a US employer willing to sponsor; L-1 for intracompany transfers; family-based green cards for those with US citizen or LPR family members; and NIW for those whose work benefits the national interest. Our free assessment will tell you exactly which category fits — and your chances in each one.
You're not legally required to have an attorney for most visa applications — but the quality of how your case is built matters enormously. Immigration petitions are legal arguments, not forms. Even on our self-service path, a licensed attorney reviews everything before it's filed. For complex visas like O-1, EB-1A, or NIW, having an attorney build and draft your petition significantly increases your chances of approval and reduces the risk of an RFE or denial.
It depends heavily on the visa type. Work visas like O-1 typically take 6–10 weeks to prepare, then 3–4 months for USCIS processing (or 15 business days with premium processing). Family-based green cards can take months to years depending on the relationship category and country of birth. We give you an honest timeline estimate during your assessment — no vague ranges, no false promises.
The free assessment is a 5-minute questionnaire that analyzes your background against the criteria for each major visa category. At the end, you get a probability score — how strong your case is, which visa fits best, and what you'd need to strengthen your application. It's completely free, no credit card required, and no commitment to continue. We built it because we think you deserve an honest picture before you spend a dollar on immigration legal fees.
In most cases, yes. Most US work visas include a dependent category for spouses and unmarried children under 21. For example, O-1 holders can bring family on O-3 visas; H-1B holders' spouses qualify for H-4 status (which may allow work authorization). Family members on dependent visas can generally live and study in the US, though work authorization varies. We handle dependent applications as part of most of our plans.
A denial doesn't mean the end of your US immigration path. Many cases succeed on a second petition after addressing the reasons for denial. If you receive a Request for Evidence (RFE), we respond fully — and on most plans this is included at no extra cost. If you've been denied by another attorney or firm, we'll review your denial notice and tell you honestly whether we think a refile makes sense, and what would need to change.
