I started my own practice with my partner a year ago. I do mostly immigration work in SC. I find the field very rewarding both emotionally and financially. The hardest part starting out for me was determining price points for our fees. This is difficult even now with the expectation that most of the USCIS fees may be increasing in the near future. I also find it difficult to stick to my consultation fee when I already know a persons specific issue they need help with. I’ve used various types of referral services, but the best (for all law firms I would guess) is word of mouth referrals. What else would you want to discuss about the field? I’d be happy to share my experiences. One thing I’m curious about, and I’ll probably start another thread, is what are most peoples fee structures in the family based area of immigration.

Welcome to the Family Based Immigration Attorney discussion!

I’ve been practicing family immigration for about a year on my own now. I still find myself struggling to find the right fee structure for various visas. Would anyone mind sharing how much they/their firm charges for various visas. One easy example could be, how much would a simple adjustment of status case cost for a spouse of a US citizen? (This would include the 485, 130, 130A, 131, 765, 864, and now the dreaded 944). Also, do you charge extra for RFEs or included in initial price?
