What is the common scope of services for an EB-5 immigration attorney?

You should discuss that with your attorney before you decide to retain him/her and have the scope of services clearly detailed in the retainer agreement.

The engagement letter or representation agreement determines the scope of the representation.

Every attorney works differently. Our fees are flat fees and typically include responding to any questions reasonably related to your processing, travel, and next stages.

It depends on the proposal and the lawyer. We do not charge extra for these consultations.

There is no generally applicable agreement format or common scope of services in the EB-5 industry. Each agreement depends on the terms the parties agree to include in their agreement. All the issues you raised may or may not be included. Advisably, work with your EB-5 attorney to ensure your interests are fully addressed to your satisfaction before you sign any agreement.

This will be controlled by the agreement you have reached with this attorney. It should be clearly stated in the retainer agreement you signed. I recommend you have a consultation with your investment immigration attorney and make certain you have accurate expectations and a retainer agreement that confirms your expectations.

Most attorneys will take the questions of a client while they are retained. If a separate process is required that often comes with additional fees. Most immigration attorneys charge flat fees (not hourly) for these processes, and will take reasonable amounts of questions.
