Why do we charge for a consultation?
Due to the complexity of U.S. immigration law, a thorough evaluation is essential to determine whether there are options for an immigrant to legally enter or remain in the United States. Each case is different. The solution for one immigrant does not necessarily work for another.
The immigration consultation takes between one to two hours (sometimes more), depending on the difficulty of the case. During that time, the attorney reviews documents, asks many questions and analyzes whether there are avenues to obtain legal status.
The client pays for the time, expertise and service provided by Dr. Nelson A. Castillo, an attorney and expert in U.S. immigration law.
The cost of the consultation includes an evaluation, determination of whether or not there is a viable case and explanation of possible legal alternatives. It is an investment that will save you time and money, since you will know where you stand and your immigration options.
What can you expect from the consultation?
Personalized attention, dedication, service and honesty from Dr. Nelson A. Castillo, who will inform you if you have legal options and what are the possibilities of success in your case.

- It will review and analyze of your immigration documents
- Evaluate your immigration history to determine how your case impacts
