Immigration law is federal - so unless you feel uncomfortable dealing with someone via phone and email, they do not have to be in your location.

Start by looking at the American Immigration Lawyers website. Cheap is not exactly a smart criteria but you may find some willing to do a free consult or a consult for around $100.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

What do you guys think about some lawyers holding important diplomas, ar have academic titles from Recognized Universities, or are part of the grand juries and charge a lot, to represent a client with an immigration issue?

Do they know someone inside USCIS? I've got a legal consultation at my consulate and they adviced me to hire an attorney that ussures me he or she knows Officers or reviewers in their state.

When I was looking an Atty. I was worried about this. The consulate recommended me with one they have been working for 15 years and they told me she knows people inside USCIS and when she represent dificult cases, Usually she receives a call from examiners, reviewers and they ask her what is gonna be the next step for the client, so they can handle better the future of the applicaction. She is expensiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.!

Is this possible? Would that be favoritism, other?
