Understanding your needs before we begin

We start with the details

Preparation sessions help you understand the information in the filed application and review documents and changes since filing. We practice understanding questions and answering truthfully. We do not ask spouses to memorize identical answers or invent details. Before starting, we explain whether the office represents one or both spouses and who will attend the sessions.

Who is this service for?

This service is for a marriage-based green card application that has already been filed. If it has not been filed, application preparation and representation are the appropriate services to evaluate. Embassy or consular interview requirements are reviewed separately from USCIS interviews within the United States.

How does preparation differ from representation?

Preparation means reviewing documents and practicing before an interview or hearing. Representation means the attorney performs the legal work specified in the agreement, such as preparing applications or attending specified hearings. Booking preparation alone does not include that work.

About the Attorney

Fady Eskandar

Clear communication in Arabic

Fady Eskandar is a California-licensed attorney. He personally reviews files, prepares clients, conducts sessions, and performs the agreed legal representation, communicating with clients in Arabic.

The office is in Anaheim. We begin by identifying the service needed and the work the office can undertake, then explain the services and fees before entering an agreement.

Session length, the scope of file review, participants, and follow-up are defined before the agreement.

Two-Stage Preparation

Two sessions

$1,750

Extended Preparation

Three sessions

Service Scope

Preparation does not include the initial application, translation, interview attendance, responses, or waivers unless expressly included in a written agreement. The client or clients must be identified and conflicts of interest and confidentiality addressed before work begins. The agreement does not include any government fees.

The purpose is to understand the process and explain events truthfully and clearly, not to coach scripted answers or guarantee a result.

Questions Before Getting Started

Do both spouses need to attend?

Participation depends on the interview type and service scope. Before booking, confirm whether one or both spouses will attend and whether the fees cover those participants.

Whom does the office represent?

The agreement specifies whether the office represents one or both spouses. Before jointly representing both spouses, we review potential conflicts and explain how information shared by each spouse will be handled.

What documents do we need?

After reviewing your inquiry, we identify the application copies, interview notices, relationship evidence, and updates needed. Do not upload personal documents through the public page.

Does the service include document translation?

Translation is not automatically included. We explain what is needed, who will handle it, and its cost before agreeing to additional work.

Will the attorney attend the interview?

Preparation alone does not include attendance. Attendance and representation before the agency or court are defined in a separate agreement or a written agreement that expressly includes attendance.

Does the service cover consular interviews?

Consular interviews require a separate evaluation. We do not treat them as USCIS interviews or assume their procedures and document requirements are identical.

What if an immigration history issue comes up?

The case may require a broader evaluation or work beyond preparation. Purchasing more sessions does not mean the issue has been resolved or the outcome is guaranteed.

How does this differ from full representation?

Preparation focuses on the interview for an application already filed. Representation covers the agreed work to determine how to handle the case and prepare applications, evidence, and follow-up. Services and fees are defined separately.
