Frequently Asked Questions

Answers before you call.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. Your first consultation with Northlight Immigration Law is complimentary. We review your situation, explain your options, and answer your questions, with no cost or obligation.

Do you handle cases outside New York?

U.S. immigration law is federal, so we can represent clients nationwide on immigration matters. Family law work is handled within New York.

How long will my case take?

Timelines vary significantly by case type and USCIS processing times. We give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and update you at every milestone.

What are your fees?

We offer transparent, flat-fee pricing for most immigration matters. Complex cases may be billed hourly. Your exact quote is provided after your free consultation, no surprises.

Will I work directly with an attorney?

Always. At Northlight Immigration Law you speak with your attorney, not a paralegal pretending to be one. Our firm is intentionally built to keep attorney-client contact direct.
