What to ask before contacting an immigration lawyer
These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.
Does the lawyer handle your specific immigration matter?
Family, employment, humanitarian, removal, and other matters can involve different processes, so confirm fit directly.
Does the matter involve USCIS, EOIR, or both?
The agency or court involved changes the process and required filings, so identify where the matter is pending.
How are attorney charges separated from government filing fees?
Government filing fees and attorney charges are separate, and both should be clarified directly.
Who prepares and reviews the filings?
Ask which team members prepare documents and who performs the legal review before filing.
Can communication take place in your preferred language?
Profile-listed languages are a starting point; confirm communication availability directly with the lawyer or firm.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the San Diego Immigration Court?
EOIR lists the San Diego Immigration Court at 880 Front Street, Suite 4240, San Diego, CA 92101. It is a Department of Justice immigration court, not a USCIS field office. EOIR's case-information page provides basic information for certain immigration-court and Board cases, but it does not display every case or every detail.

Can I email or fax documents to the San Diego Immigration Court?
Not unless the court specifically requests the transmission. The San Diego Immigration Court says it does not accept faxes or other electronic submissions unless court staff or the immigration judge has specifically requested them, and unauthorized transmissions are not added to the record. Use the applicable EOIR filing process and current case instructions.

Are USCIS and immigration court the same agency?
No. USCIS is part of the Department of Homeland Security and handles immigration benefit requests, while EOIR is part of the Department of Justice and runs immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals. The correct agency, forms, and case-status tools depend on where the matter is pending.

What does EOIR's Automated Case Information System show?
EOIR's system provides basic status information for certain immigration-court and Board cases, but it does not display every case or every detail. ACIS shows the primary case only and, when an A-Number has more than one case, displays the most recent case.

How can I verify the current USCIS filing fee for a form?
USCIS charges form-specific government filing fees and directs users to its Fee Calculator or Form G-1055 fee schedule for current amounts. A lawyer's or representative's charges are separate from government filing fees and should be clarified directly before an engagement. Not every form or applicant has the same fee.
