FLAT-FEE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
What is included and what costs extra
Flat fee for one initial E-2 Treaty Investor consular visa application for the principal applicant. Includes treaty eligibility evaluation; business and investment review; source-of-funds evidence strategy and review; review (not drafting) of an existing business plan; applicable visa forms; exhibit preparation; consular submission preparation; and interview preparation. Excludes government and reciprocity fees, company formation, business-plan drafting, translations, travel, dependents, E-2 employee applications, USCIS Form I-129 filings, renewals, and separate applications or work outside the agreed consular visa matter, which require separate representation. Where applicable, responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) relating to the covered matter are included in the flat attorney fee. Any USCIS Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) response arising from this covered application or representation, like a related Request for Evidence (RFE) response, is included in the stated flat attorney fee at no additional attorney charge.
The signed representation agreement controls the exact scope. Government fees and outside costs, where applicable, are not included unless expressly stated.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we begin
Are government filing fees included in the price?
No. The displayed amount is the attorney fee. USCIS, consular, medical, translation and other third-party charges, when applicable, are separate unless the specific scope expressly says otherwise.
Will you charge an extra attorney fee if USCIS sends an RFE or NOID?
No additional attorney fee is charged for RFE or NOID responses arising within a Green Chavez matter already covered by a flat-fee representation agreement. The separately priced RFE and NOID services are only for new clients with applications filed independently or by another firm.
How do I find out whether my case fits this standard fee?
Contact our office for a case-specific eligibility and scope review. If your situation falls outside the listed service, we will explain the additional work and fees in writing before you hire us.
