We are open from Monday to Thursday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, and on Fridays from 9 AM to 1 PM. We are closed on weekends and federal holidays.
If you are a former client or returning consultation, please contact us at info@joyceassociates.com. We can also conduct your consultation in person, on the phone or video meeting. You can schedule your consultation online at https://www.joyceassociates.com/consultation/
We charge $200 for a consultation with William Joyce, and $150 for a consultation with one of our associates. At the consultation, we will review your history and your immigration options. We ask that this fee is paid at the time you schedule your consultation in order to reserve that time on our calendars. If you require an interpreter, there is an additional $75 fee. We can provide qualified interpreters in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, and Russian.
You should bring any documentation that you have from immigration authorities with you to your consultation, including passports, copies of previous applications, and notices from immigration. If you have criminal history, you should also bring your documentation from criminal court to your consultation. This will help us determine what has happened in your case in the past, and what your options are in the future.
The cost of your case depends on a wide variety of factors including the type of case, and whether there are any complicating factors. We work with our clients to develop payment plans, and accept payment by cash, check, or credit card.
We have had success with countless complex immigration cases, but we can never make a promise as to the outcome of a case. Success in a case depends on a lot of factors, and we caution against hiring an attorney that makes guarantees about the outcome of your case. We do promise that we will work with you closely to develop your case and that we will do everything in our power to ensure your case is successful.
We strongly recommend that you hire a lawyer to represent you in your immigration process. No two immigration cases are exactly alike. Immigration applications are complicated, and small mistakes can lead to long delays, missed deadlines, or even denials. We hope you decide to hire Joyce & Associates to handle your case, but most importantly, be sure that whoever you hire is a licensed attorney. Using a “notario” or individual who is not licensed to practice law can cause huge problems for your case.
Many cases can be appealed after they are denied, but there are very strict deadlines for immigration appeals, and several different government agencies that handle appeals. You will need an experienced immigration attorney to help you navigate that process. Denials can also lead to the government starting removal proceedings in your case, so it is important that you act quickly and keep your address up to date with the government. Schedule a consultation today if you would like to discuss a denied immigration case.
Processing times for immigration cases vary depending on the type of case. Some applications take a few months and some take longer. It is important to have an excellent attorney representing you in your immigration case, because often cases get stuck with the government agencies for long periods of time. If you choose to hire Joyce & Associates, we will help monitor your case to make sure the government is processing it as quickly as possible.
We are able to provide interpreters for Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Mandarin. If you speak another language, we ask that you bring someone to act as your interpreter for your consultation and other appointments.
All of our cases are handled by one of our attorneys and a team of two dedicated paralegals.
You can check the status of your case by logging in to the firm’s system at Client Login (above) using your unique user name and password.If your case has been filed with USCIS, you can enter the receipt number here to learn the status. You can also check national case processing times here. Keep in mind – this website is not accurate 100% of the time.
For both your initial consultation and subsequent payments, we accept cash, check, money order, or credit card. If paying by cash, check, or money order, you can drop it off in person or mail in your payment – please keep in mind that mail is not always reliable and the payment could get lost. If paying by credit card you can call in to make a payment, or sign a form authorizing Joyce & Associates to automatically charge your card monthly.
This depends on what type of a case you have. Some cases allow an application for work authorization to be filed at the same time as the main application. Other cases require that your main case be approved before you receive work authorization. You can discuss your eligibility for work authorization with one of our attorneys by scheduling a consultation, or following up with your legal team at Joyce & Associates.
This depends on how you came in to the United States originally and what type of immigration process you are pursuing. Schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys to learn more about the best process for you to try to obtain your green card.
