How much does an immigration attorney cost in the Lehigh Valley?

Most immigration matters at Lehigh Valley Immigration Law are handled on a flat-fee basis disclosed in writing before representation begins. We offer a free 30-minute case review for every prospective client and provide payment plans for most matters. Specific fees are discussed during your free consultation.

Do you offer free immigration consultations?

Yes. We provide a free 30-minute case review for every prospective client, conducted in English or Spanish by phone, video, or in our Allentown office. Call (484) 763-4984 or schedule online to book.

¿Hablan español? Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Lehigh Valley Immigration Law operates bilingually in English and Spanish. Consultations, documents, and ongoing case communication are available in either language.

What areas of immigration law do you handle?

We handle family-based petitions (I-130/I-485), consular processing, employment and business immigration (I-129/I-140), removal defense in Immigration Court, asylum and CAT, humanitarian relief (U-visa, T-visa, VAWA, TPS, SIJS), naturalization (N-400), federal and BIA appeals, and RFE/NOID responses.

Can you help me respond to a USCIS Request for Evidence (RFE)?

Yes. Our RFE Rescue line is a dedicated service for responding to USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFE), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID), and Notices of Intent to Revoke (NOIR). We review the engagement within one business day and provide flat-fee pricing tailored to the complexity of the response.

How long does a marriage-based green card take in 2026?

For a U.S. citizen filing for a spouse already in the United States via concurrent I-130/I-485, USCIS processing is currently approximately 10 to 14 months for the green card itself, with an interim Employment Authorization Document (EAD) typically issued within 5 to 8 months of filing. Consular processing for a spouse abroad generally runs 12 to 18 months.

Can I work while my green card application is pending?

Yes. When you file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status), you may concurrently file Form I-765 for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). The EAD typically issues within 5 to 8 months of filing and authorizes lawful U.S. employment while the green card is pending.

Do you handle removal defense and Immigration Court cases?

Yes. We represent clients in removal proceedings before Immigration Judges, including bond hearings, cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding and Convention Against Torture claims, criminal-immigration analysis, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Do you serve clients outside Pennsylvania?

Yes. Our firm represents clients across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York for USCIS filings, and appears in Immigration Courts in the region. Most USCIS filings can be handled remotely without an in-person office visit.

What should I bring to my first immigration consultation?

Bring any USCIS notices you have received, current passport or other government ID, prior immigration filings if any, your most recent I-94 if applicable, marriage and birth certificates relevant to family-based cases, and any criminal records. If something is missing, do not delay scheduling — bring what you have and we will identify the rest.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Most clients begin for $200–$400/month with automatic payments. The $250 consultation fee is also credited toward your case if you hire us. See our Financing & Payment Plans page for full details.

What happens in the initial consultation?

We review your goals, current status, timelines, and any documents you have — and outline a plan with realistic milestones. If you hire us, the $250 consultation fee is credited toward your case.

Can you help if I have a prior denial or removal order?

Yes. We analyze the prior record and identify options: motions to reopen or reconsider, appeals, or waiver strategies where you're eligible. Start with a consultation.

Can I apply if I entered the U.S. without authorization?

It depends on your specific history. Pathways like asylum, VAWA, U and T visas, and cancellation of removal are available regardless of how you entered. Family-based routes may require waivers. A confidential consultation is always the best first step.

How long does the immigration process take?

It varies widely by case type, USCIS workload, and individual circumstances. Family-based green cards can range from several months to a few years. Removal defense depends on immigration court dockets. We give you realistic, milestone-based projections during your consultation.
