Expensive Attorneys
Immigration lawyers charge thousands of dollars, often with hidden fees and unclear timelines.
$15,000 - $25,000+
Years of Waiting
Visa backlogs can stretch for years, especially for applicants from certain countries.
5-10+ year waits
No Control
Your immigration status depends on your employer's decisions and lawyer's availability.
Your future in others' hands
