The cost of any visa depends on the specific circumstances of the case. There are certain government filing fees that the employer is obligated to pay when applying to sponsor an employee for a work visa, while other fees can be paid by either the employer or the employee. Our attorney fee is calculated based on the complexity of the case. Generally, we prefer to use a flat-fee rather than an hourly rate for a few reasons: Flat-fees take less time for us to bill, and because we spend less time on billing, we spend more time on your case. This helps us complete your case in a quicker and more cost-effective manner, and we pass this savings along to you. With a flat-fee model, your organization and employees can feel free to email us with questions or issues and receive a prompt response without worrying about it increasing the cost of the application.
