Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Re: Green card processing Consultation

There may be pros and cons to filing the green card application right away or waiting to file the applicaiton. It will depend on the job requirements and your qualifications. There is no fee to set up an initial consultation with my office should you wish to do so.

Re: Green card processing Consultation

There is no "mandatory" period that you must wait. However, my advice would be to let an attorney review your paperwork and position and advice you accordingly just to be sure that you don't raise any issues in the future. Also, keep in mind that given the economy filing for permanent residence through employment may be a difficult feat depending again on your skill set and job position.

As far as fees go, some attorneys charge nothing and others charge as much several hundred dollars for a consultation. I charge for my consultations and I believe that you are better off going to one who does. He or she should give you more information that you could possilbly imagine during the consultation and by charging the attorney is more inclined to do so. You will have to decide on that.
