Immigration Lawyer Consultation Fee Miami: What’s Covered

An immigration lawyer consultation fee in Miami is what you pay for a scheduled attorney meeting about your case. AG Immigration Law P.A. offers a paid consultation to review removal cases, and the fee is confirmed before you book. This page explains what the meeting covers, what else you may owe, and how booking works.

What a Paid Consultation for Removal Defense Is

A paid consultation is a scheduled meeting where an attorney reviews your immigration case and explains your options. The firm focuses on removal defense. It also handles adjustment of status, family petitions, naturalization, removal of conditions on green cards, waivers and BIA appeals.

This meeting is built for people who received a Notice to Appear, are already in immigration court, have a removal order, or need an appeal or waiver reviewed. A Notice to Appear must list the nature of the proceedings and the charges against you. Federal law says how it must be delivered, as the federal Notice to Appear rules explain.

The consultation looks at your facts. It does not start representation. In immigration court, a lawyer becomes your practitioner of record only by filing Form EOIR-28. The entry of appearance rules set out that step.

What the Paid Consultation Covers

The consultation covers your papers, your deadlines and the relief your facts may support. Here is what the review includes:

• Document review: your Notice to Appear, hearing notices, prior filings and any removal order, checked for accuracy.
• Hearing timing: the first hearing cannot be set sooner than 10 days after service of the notice, unless you ask for an earlier date in writing (federal Notice to Appear rules).
• Options to evaluate: possible relief such as cancellation of removal, adjustment of status or a waiver. These are options to weigh, not promised results.
• Continuous presence: unless an exception applies, the continuous presence period ends when your Notice to Appear is served (cancellation of removal rules).
• Adjustment limits: some people in unlawful status, other than immediate relatives, cannot use adjustment of status rules for that purpose.
• Missed hearings: if you get oral notice of the consequences and miss a hearing without exceptional circumstances, you may be barred from certain relief for 10 years (removal proceedings rules).
• Prior history: earlier visas, applications, status issues and family petitions already filed.

You leave with a written list of documents to gather and the deadlines that matter most.

Fees and What Else You May Owe

The consultation fee is separate from government costs. Ask the office for the current consultation fee and payment options before you book.

Plan for these extra costs:

• Biometric fee: when a fee for an immigration court proceeding is paid to DHS, as provided in 8 CFR 1103.7(a), it must include an extra $30 for biometric information (fee rules).
• Otherwise, if the fee is not paid or the Appeal Fee Waiver Request (Form EOIR-26A) is not filed within the specified time period, the appeal is not properly filed (appeal rules).
• The request must be accompanied by a properly executed affidavit or unsworn declaration made pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 substantiating the inability to pay (fee waiver rules).
• Document costs: translations and certified copies are separate expenses.

Ask how the consultation fee relates to any later representation fee. Get that answer in writing before you pay.

If your matter falls outside what this firm handles, the office may refer you to another lawyer or firm. It will tell you before you book.

How Booking Works and What to Expect

Booking takes five steps, from first contact to a decision about representation. Each step is short.

1. Reach out: use the contact form, a phone call or a WhatsApp message. Share your country of birth, your case status and any hearing date.
2. Confirm the terms: the office confirms the consultation fee, payment options and meeting format before you pay.
3. Pay and schedule: send court papers in advance when you can, so the review goes faster.
4. Attend the meeting: you receive a summary of issues, deadlines and suggested next steps.
5. Decide on representation: if you hire the firm, you sign a written agreement. The consultation alone does not create representation.

Timing matters. After an Immigration Judge decides your case, a Notice of Appeal is generally due within 10 calendar days. Some asylum cases have 30 days (appeal deadlines). Tell the office at first contact if a hearing is close.
