A Smarter Way to Handle U.S. Immigration: Our New Legal Fee Guarantee

Immigration to the United States is a challenging process—complicated by shifting policies, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), and unexpected denials. At the Law Office of Andrew R. Sones, we understand that clients need more than strong legal guidance: they need financial predictability and protection against the unexpected.

That’s why we are proud to introduce our Fee Guarantee Program, a new approach that shields our clients from additional legal fees if their case is accepted into the program and faces an RFE, NOID, or denial requiring resubmission.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Why Immigration Cases Are So Unpredictable

Unlike other areas of law, U.S. immigration is not constantly rewritten through new legislation. Instead, the vast majority of immigration law is decades old, and the main changes come from how government agencies interpret existing statutes and regulations.

This means USCIS can issue new policy memos, apply different evidentiary standards, or simply enforce existing rules more strictly. The result? More RFEs, more NOIDs, and sometimes denials—even in cases that should be straightforward.

For clients, this unpredictability can be stressful, expensive, and overwhelming.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Introducing Our Fee Guarantee

Our Fee Guarantee Program addresses these risks directly. If your case is accepted into the program and listed as such in your Legal Services Agreement (LSA), you receive the following protections:

  • No additional legal fees for responding to an RFE or NOID.

  • No additional legal fees for resubmitting in the event of denial.

  • Clear, upfront confirmation of whether your case qualifies for the program.

It is important to note that clients remain responsible for USCIS filing fees and other government costs. Our guarantee covers only our firm’s legal fees for additional work caused by USCIS action.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What This Means for You

For our clients, this new policy delivers three major benefits:

  1. Financial SecurityYou’ll know upfront that if your case encounters additional hurdles, you won’t face additional attorney fees.

  2. Peace of MindImmigration law is stressful enough without the fear of “hidden costs.” Our guarantee makes the process more transparent and manageable.

  3. Confidence in RepresentationBy offering this guarantee, we stand behind the quality of our work and our commitment to navigating complex USCIS policies.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What This Guarantee Is Not

We want to be absolutely clear: no reputable law firm can or should guarantee the approval of an immigration petition. USCIS decisions are made by government officers, and no attorney has the power to dictate outcomes.

Our guarantee is not a promise of success—it is a promise of financial protection if USCIS throws unexpected obstacles in your way.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How Do I Know If My Case Qualifies?

Not every filing automatically falls under our Fee Guarantee Program. Instead:

  • Your case must be accepted into the program by our firm.

  • Your Legal Services Agreement (LSA) will specifically note if the program applies.

If your case is not listed in your LSA as fee-guaranteed, then the standard fee structure applies. This ensures that both our office and our clients are clear about expectations from the beginning.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Why This Matters Now

The immigration landscape in the United States is becoming more difficult, not less. USCIS continues to raise evidentiary standards, expand the use of RFEs and NOIDs, and deny cases more frequently than in past decades.

For families, workers, and businesses, the cost of starting over after a denial—both financially and emotionally—can be enormous. Our Fee Guarantee helps reduce that risk.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real-World Examples of Where Our Guarantee Helps
  • Employment-based petitions (I-140, PERM, EB-2/EB-3): If USCIS issues an RFE questioning labour certification or professional qualifications, we will handle the response without additional attorney fees.

  • Family-based petitions (I-130, I-485, I-765): If USCIS challenges proof of a bona fide marriage or requests additional documentation, our legal work in response is included.

  • Extraordinary ability and performer visas (O-1, P-1): If USCIS pushes back with a NOID on evidentiary standards, we cover the legal work required to resubmit.

Again, filing fees are always the client’s responsibility, but legal fees for these follow-ups are included if your case is fee-guaranteed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Why We Offer This

We believe immigration clients deserve more than just strong legal filings. They deserve predictability, protection, and honesty. Our Fee Guarantee reflects our commitment to standing with our clients—not just through the initial petition, but through any challenges that follow.

FAQs

Does this mean my case is guaranteed to be approved?No. No law firm can guarantee an approval. What we guarantee is that if your case is accepted into our program, you will not owe additional attorney fees for RFEs, NOIDs, or resubmissions.

Am I still responsible for USCIS filing fees?Yes. Clients must still pay all government filing fees. Our guarantee applies only to our legal fees.

Do all clients automatically get the Fee Guarantee?No. Your Legal Services Agreement (LSA) will state clearly if your case qualifies. If it does not, our standard fee policy applies.

Why doesn’t every case qualify?Some cases carry higher or unusual risks that make the guarantee impractical. We evaluate each case individually and confirm eligibility before signing the LSA.

How do I find out if my case qualifies?The best way is to schedule a free consultation with our office. We will review your situation, explain whether your case qualifies, and answer your questions.
