How much does an immigration lawyer cost for O-1, EB-1A & NIW?

Draft your O-1, EB-1A, or NIW petition here for a transparent, published price — then hand it to a network partner who files it at a partner rate.

Most of the market won't even tell you a number without a sales call. We put every firm in one table, marked partners, and made it filterable.

How this works

You draft. They review and file. You save money.

visaworker.ai builds the petition. An independent lawyer reviews and files it. You pay a flat software price plus a discounted attorney fee — instead of one opaque five-figure bill that bundles both.

01

You draft with the agent

An AI agent that knows the adjudication standard drafts your letters, exhibits, and packet. A published software price — not a five-figure legal fee.

02

They review and file

Choose a network partner (or bring your own attorney) to review the draft and file with USCIS. Because the drafting is done, partners honor a partner rate — at least 15% below their standard fee.

03

You save money

Compare the whole market below before you commit. Prices are shown in the open, grouped by kind and flagged by how transparent each firm is — no sales call required to find a number.

Partner rows appear in the same directory as everyone else — flagged, not floated. Toggle the "Partners only" filter to see the shortlist. We refuse to hide the market you're comparing against.

The market, mapped

What an O-1, EB-1A, or NIW actually costs.

Every price below is the firm's own published figure. Some flat fees bundle in USCIS filing costs; others cover legal work only and pass government fees through at cost. Always confirm what's included before you sign — in this market, the price itself matters less than whether you can find one at all.

Paste the firm's website. We fetch the page, pull out name, offices, and published pricing, and add it to the directory. US immigration law firms only.

Fees are each firm's own published figure where one exists, or "quote-only" where none is posted. Headquarters, offices, founding year, and success rates are as each firm states them (rates are self-reported and unaudited). Ranges vary with case complexity, city, and RFE risk; nothing here is a quote for a specific case. Non-partner firms shown for comparison and not affiliated with VisaWorker. Partner firms are independent law practices we list for your convenience; we do not endorse them, supervise their work, or guarantee any outcome, and we do not receive referral fees or kickbacks.

Common questions

What people ask about immigration lawyer costs.

How much does an immigration lawyer cost for an O-1, EB-1A, or NIW petition?

Legal fees for O-1, EB-1A, and NIW petitions typically range from about $6,000 at transparent boutique firms to $15,000+ at large full-service firms, plus USCIS government filing fees (roughly $1,015 for an EB-1A or NIW self-petition; O-1 fees vary by employer). Prices below are each firm's own published figure — many firms will not quote a number without a sales call.

What's usually included in a flat immigration legal fee?

A flat fee normally covers strategy, drafting the petition letter, preparing exhibits, filing with USCIS, and responding to Requests for Evidence (RFEs). Some firms bundle USCIS government filing fees into the flat rate; others charge legal fees only and pass filing fees through at cost. Always confirm what's included before signing.

Why do so few firms publish prices?

Immigration cases vary in complexity, so most firms prefer to quote only after a paid or unpaid consultation. That makes comparison shopping hard. This directory only lists a firm's own published figure where one exists, and flags every row as 'Published', 'Partial', 'Estimate', or 'Quote only' so you can tell what's really on offer.

Can I file an O-1, EB-1A, or NIW petition without a lawyer?

Yes. EB-1A and NIW allow self-petitioning, and O-1 can be filed by an employer or agent without outside counsel. Many petitioners draft the packet themselves — with or without AI tooling — and hire a lawyer only for review and filing, which is much cheaper than a full-service engagement.

How does the VisaWorker partner rate work?

You draft the petition in VisaWorker for a published software price. If you hand the completed draft to a network partner firm to review and file, that partner offers at least a 15% discount off their standard flat fee. Partners are independent law firms; they collect their fee directly.
