10 Key Questions to Ask Your Employment-Based Immigration Attorney

Introduction

The array of different types of visas can be quite overwhelming, and often employment-based immigration is particularly competitive. Knowing the right questions to ask an immigration attorney, however, can make all the difference and really help your case. Below are ten things to ask your immigration attorney in order to find the right representation for your needs and to ensure your case is given due consideration. With so many qualified immigration attorneys out there, how does one choose the best to aid him or her in trying to obtain permission to live and work in the U.S. in order to realize his or her goals and protect his or her future?

What is Your Experience with Employment-Based Immigration Cases?

The majority of Employment Based Visa Applications are not straightforward. In seeking legal advice for an Employment Based Visa from an employment-based immigration attorney, the attorney should have many experiences with Employment Based Visas. He or she should have handled many cases, worked with many different Employment Based Visas (for example, H1B, L-1, O-1, etc.), and have many successes with the various Employment Based Visas.

Note that even though many Employment Based Visas are “Priority Current” (meaning they are only being held up by current backlogs in processing as opposed to the statutory requirements of the Immigrant Visa category in which the petition was filed), the competition for these cases is high. According to the Department of Homeland Security, for example, Employment Based visas make up approximately 25% of the total number of Green Cards issued each year and have an approval rate of approximately 80% for Fiscal Year 2026.

The time it takes for an I-130 to process can take anywhere from 10-20 months or more in the state of North Carolina. Thus, it is very important that an applicant have a good immigration lawyer assisting him or her with the process.

Vasquez Law Firm has over 70 years of combined experience assisting clients through every stage of the immigration process since 2011. We have knowledge of the current entry requirements and regulations for processing an Employment Based Visa application, eligibility requirements, as well as processing time frames.

It is very important to have an experienced attorney handling your Employment Based Visa application, and that attorney be up-to-date on the rules, regulations, and processes involved in each of the various Employment Based Visas. Choosing the right attorney for your case is very important to assist you in achieving your U.S. future.

This mindmap starts with the main topic of Employment-Based Visa Applications at the center. From there, you can explore different types of visas, the importance of having an experienced attorney, how long the application process might take, and the competitive landscape of these applications. Each branch helps you see how these elements connect and why they matter in the immigration process.

What Strategy Will You Use for My Immigration Case?

Not sure how to handle your workers' compensation case? Ask your lawyer how they intend to handle your workers' compensation case.

How will they get evidence for your workers' compensation claim?

How will they document information necessary to prove your workers' compensation claim in the event of a denial of your workers' compensation claim or as a result of a construction accident?

The attorney at the firm has years of experience handling workers’ compensation and workplace injuries. This extensive experience allows Vasquez Law Firm to provide the most educated and aggressive representation for their clients.

Vasquez Law Firm is also here to assist you with all of your legal needs and can speak with you and your family in Spanish.

Which Employment-Based Visa Types Do You Specialize In?

Are you confused in the maze of immigration law? When searching for an employment-based immigration attorney, make sure to find out about his/her experience with the different employment-based visa categories (H-1B, L-1, EB-2, etc.). Each one of the employment-based visas has different requirements and a different process that needs to be followed in order to process the application.

All employment-based visas have different criteria and processes that can be difficult for people to understand when looking into different categories for immigration. For example, the H-1B is given to foreign workers in “specialty occupations” which typically require at least a bachelor’s degree for the position. Due to high demand from companies, workers in H-1B status can be extremely valuable to a company. There have recently been changes made to the H-1B lottery system with wage playing a much larger role in who gets selected in the lottery. The L-1 is given to employees of multinational companies with affiliates in U.S. or other countries. These employees can move to U.S. for up to 3 years to work for the affiliate in U.S. Recently there has been a large amount of scrutiny to what qualifies as a “specialty occupation” and how the occupation of foreign worker will benefit U.S. in approving an H-1B application. A strong application is very important in order to approve a visa application.

If a judicial emergency were to happen such as an ICE action or a deportation proceeding then it is very important that one understands his or her rights. One’s right to remain silent, right to speak with an attorney and right to have an attorney review any and all documents prior to signing any such documents must be protected at all costs. If you are experiencing a judicial emergency then please contact us immediately. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We would be more than happy to assist you with any questions or concerns that you may have.

We at the Vasquez Law Firm are able to assist clients of any language and have flexible payment plans. We are also proud to offer free initial consultations with our attorneys. Our team of experienced lawyers have dealt with numerous cases involving various types of employment-based visas. By thoroughly documenting all of the progress made in a client’s case, and by using strategic planning, our lawyers have assisted their clients through the processing of many H-1B and EB-2 cases. In contrast, those who seek the representation of an attorney who does not have the same degree of experience with employment-based visas can find themselves having many difficulties in their attempt to process their case through immigration. This is why it is in the best interest of any immigrant attempting to gain employment in this country to seek the aid of an experienced employment-based immigration attorney. With the proper representation, an individual can rest assured that his or her rights will be fully protected throughout the course of the immigration process.

This mindmap starts with the main topic of employment-based visas at the center. Each branch represents a different visa type, and the sub-branches provide details about what makes each visa unique and the importance of having a knowledgeable attorney to help navigate the process.

What Are Your Fees and Payment Options?

Managing the costs of legal services can be complex and have unexpected expenses along the way. Therefore, for certain legal services, an attorney can offer you legal services on a flat rate basis. You would know better what your legal services will cost you, and you can even make plans in advance. Is your attorney charging by the hour or on a flat rate basis for your services?

Vasquez Law Firm can assist with your visa matters. Vasquez has flexible payment options to assist you and your family, including:

  • Setting up a monthly payment plan
  • An interest-free payment plan for you and your family

It would be best to ask Vasquez what fees there are to pay for their services, and what each fee would include. In addition, ask if there are any additional fees for things such as:

Understanding what your legal fees are for will better enable you to make decisions throughout your case.

Each slice of the pie shows a different way you can pay for legal services. The bigger the slice, the more common or significant that payment option is. This helps you see at a glance what choices you have when it comes to managing your legal fees.

How Will You Communicate with Me Throughout the Process?

Worrying about your immigration status while you are unaware of the status of your case is very normal. Our way of communicating with our clients is very important to us. Our clients should know what is going on with their cases and what is happening. It is very important for us to keep our clients updated on the status of their cases for their peace of mind.

If you have an attorney handling your visa case, your attorney should be able to update you on the status of your case and answer any questions you may have. At Vasquez Law Firm, we keep our clients updated on the status of their cases. We keep in touch with our clients via:

  • email
  • phone
  • in person meetings

We are a bilingual law firm and can service your immigration needs in the language of your preference. We also have very flexible payment plans that fit in your budget.

If you need any immigration legal services, please contact us for a free consultation. In order to set up your free consultation, you will need to fill out a very short form that asks for your name, email, phone number and a brief description of your situation. We will contact you shortly to set up a time for your free consultation during which we will go over your case in great detail and provide you with the best advice and options available to you.

The green slice represents the 98% of cases that were successful, while the red slice shows the 2% that were not. It's a quick way to see how effective the firm is in helping clients with their immigration needs.

What is the Typical Timeline for My Immigration Case?

I would describe the general process for Employment Based Green Cards to be frustrating in that there are often unexpected delays, confusion and often conflicting information as to the processing time for the green card application itself (I-485), as well as the processing time for approval of the I-140 (for non-premium processing cases). Also, the total employment based green card processing time can vary from 10 to 30 months (or more) depending upon the specific category as well as the specific Service Center processing times for Employment Based Green Cards for applicants located in North Carolina and Florida.

Processing times for work-based permanent residency vary by location. The degree of backlogs at various Service Centers processing PERM Labor Certification applications (required for most employment-based green cards) can vary too. In general, the processing time for a PERM application is 18-24 months prior to the case advancing to the Visa Bulletin waitlist for a visa number to be available. In high-demand countries (India and China, for example) the wait time after the case has completed the PERM processing and moved on to the applicable visa office can be substantial.

If you are located in North Carolina or in the Orlando, Florida area, having an expert and efficient employment visa attorney work on your employment-based permanent residency application can make all the difference in your endeavors and prepare you for the length of time your application will be processing through the various steps of the immigration process. Not only can we inform you of the current processing times for the various steps of your permanent residence application, we can go through the general requirements for approval of the most common employment-based green cards. We can also go through some of the approved applications and highlight the mistakes that were included in the denials and develop a very strategic plan to efficiently and effectively work through your application for approval of your work visa or employment-based permanent residence.

As of the start of 2026, USCIS is handling the largest case backlog in the history of the agency with over 11 million pending cases, affecting processing time for applications across the board. We are here to help you understand your situation and find the solution to meet your goals.

This flowchart shows the steps involved in obtaining an Employment Based Green Card. Each box represents a stage in the process, and the arrows indicate the order in which these stages occur. Keep an eye out for notes on potential delays, especially if you're applying from specific locations like North Carolina or Florida.

How Do You Handle Challenges in Immigration Cases?

If you are a US citizen or lawful permanent resident with family members or employees living outside of the US who are residents there, dealing with residence issues can be particularly nerve-wracking and stressful as things don’t always go as planned. An experienced and compassionate employment-based immigration attorney will work long and hard to come up with solutions for your unique situation and prepare you for any delay or detour and know your rights in such situations.

There are many challenges that immigrants, and the spouses of American employees and business owners, face in North Carolina and Florida. Two of the largest challenges that immigrants face during their time in the US are dealing with the US courts, and fighting off the psychological challenges that they may face while waiting for long periods of time for answers to their US immigration applications. This is where a good and experienced immigration attorney can be very helpful. An experienced attorney can make a big difference in helping to ensure that the best possible results are achieved in any type of immigration case, by helping his or her client to be as prepared as possible for all aspects of the case. It is key for an immigration attorney to make sure that his or her client has the correct amount of documentation in order to apply for residency, and that the correct steps are taken in order to apply for employment-based immigrant visa processing. This can help to alleviate a lot of stress and frustration while waiting for the processing of an application to complete.

Another consideration to keep in mind is whether you have found a good lawyer to represent your interests. Knowing the prior cases an employment-based immigration lawyer has handled and how he or she approaches the sort of case you are trying to navigate through can provide peace of mind knowing that your rights will be respected and protected.

At Vasquez Law Firm, we pride ourselves in delivering the absolute best representation to every client, throughout every step of their case. Our staff of friendly attorneys and employees are bilingual and able to assist clients in both English and Spanish. We have a multitude of locations including three in North Carolina: Charlotte, Concord, and Huntersville, as well as a variety of locations in Florida. We serve all locations, so regardless of where you are, we have someone able to take your call and assist you. We charge contingency on personal injury cases and offer billing options that fit within our clients' budgets for other practice areas. Most importantly, every client at our Firm has direct access to the Attorney assigned to their case at any time. Our goal is to provide each client with the personal attention they deserve, and to guide our clients through each step of the immigration process.

This flowchart guides you through the process of handling immigration challenges. Start by identifying your challenge, then decide whether to seek legal help or prepare your documents. Each step leads you closer to resolving your immigration case with the right support.

How do your attorney's services extend beyond the actual representation of you and your interests in your visa cases, whether immigrant or non-immigrant? For instance, your attorney should make available to you and your family members all of the educational materials that he or she has created as well as various workshops that your attorney holds and/or refers to other specialists in order to guide you and your family in all of the steps taken during the process of your relocation to the United States. For example, every month Vasquez Law Firm holds ‘Know Your Rights’ free workshops in English as well as in Spanish. During these workshops attendees will learn of their rights and how they can be protected while a resident in this country as well as from the criminal justice system as well as in the workplace. Moreover, attendees will also learn of the lawful immigration process as well as how to effectively prepare for any interviews granted by U.S. government officials as well as how to effectively navigate through one of the most complex legal systems in the world.

Other ways attorneys can extend services to clients going through the immigration process, outside of representing them through the legal process to obtain a visa (whether it is an immigrant or non-immigrant visa), are by connecting the clients with community-based organizations where the client can get the newly arrived resident(s) of this country involved in programs and activities offered at local schools and community centers, where not only can the client learn about the culture of the new country in which they reside, also there are offered language classes in the client’s native language as well as vocational training in the immigrant’s field of expertise in order to get established roots in the new home of the newly arrived resident(s) to the United States in order to better become a permanent resident or even a U.S. citizen. The tool needed in order to achieve that, are the needed tools to learn about the processes involved to become a permanent resident or even a U.S. citizen and become part of the community of other U.S. citizens.

Our goal at Vasquez Law Firm is to invest in the next generation of diverse, skilled and talented professionals. We are proud to annually award a scholarship to a first generation college student pursuing a degree in law with the intent to practice law. Our mission at Vasquez Law Firm is to aid our clients through all phases of the relocation process. But, more importantly, we strive to support the local community and provide our future lawyers with the resources to be highly successful in their own practice and within our community. It is our hope that by supporting the local community and providing future lawyers with the same type of support and resources that we had when we were starting out, that we can bring about much needed change in the practice of law and in our community by fostering and supporting a diverse group of skilled, talented and highly motivated up and coming professionals. We strive to make sure that everyone in our community has access to legal information and resources and that our future lawyers have the tools that they need to succeed in all aspects of their practice.

Here is an example of how one group of lawyers recently used resources external to their legal counsel to reach a very large number of people and to vastly improve the knowledge of their clients as to their rights and the many different resources that are available to individuals and families going through all stages of immigration processing. In this case a group of lawyers in North Carolina worked in collaboration with several non-profits in order to hold a large number of free workshops throughout the state in order to ensure that as many individuals and families as possible were able to gain the knowledge they need in order to deal effectively with the complexities of the immigration system and to achieve their goals.

The end result is that, by providing you and your family with tools and guidance outside of your legal counsel, we can help ensure that you have everything you need to handle any new challenge that comes your way and to understand your rights so that you can exercise them as needed. Don’t let the laws of immigration confuse you - we can help you to reach your goals by guiding you through the process of obtaining a visa and more.

How Will You Ensure Personal Attention to My Case?

Even for the simplest immigration process, the complexities of the laws can create huge problems for your life. A very good immigration lawyer will guide you to successfully apply for residency. Our approach at Vasquez Law Firm to represent clients seeking immigration benefits is to provide each client the very individualized attention that their case(s) need to obtain the best possible outcomes.

With each client having their own very unique situations and issues with their applications, a very skilled, dedicated, qualified lawyer will be able to provide their clients with necessary assistance and representation in order to assist the clients to obtain approval for their applications through the various phases of the processes.

There are also the many huge backlogs of cases in the immigration courts in the States of North Carolina and Florida and that the approval rates for cases heard in those courts vary greatly. To assist clients to successfully obtain approval for applications for immigration benefits, at Vasquez Law Firm, our staff of very highly qualified immigration lawyers provide each client the very best representation possible.

At Vasquez Law Firm, we are a bilingual law firm, meaning we can serve the needs of English speaking clients and those Spanish speaking clients. For many people in the U.S., their language is not the official language of the country in which they reside. In many cases, that language difference can present very significant obstacles when seeking assistance from a lawyer to their immigration applications.

The staff at Vasquez Law Firm are fluent in both English and Spanish, which is to mean that clients will receive the assistance that they need in the language of their choice. Our staff at Vasquez Law Firm are also very committed to providing the very best legal services to everyone seeking their assistance, regardless of clients’ financial situations.

As such, the firm offers a very wide array of payment options to assist in repayment of fees and also offers free initial consultations to potential new clients. A very critical factor that greatly affects the results of the immigration cases, as reflected by our many Immigration Case Studies, is the individualized attention that clients receive from their very skilled attorneys and the bilingual assistance of staff.

A very good immigration attorney must not only be extremely well qualified and very experienced, but must also be able to give each client the personal services that the client needs.

This mindmap illustrates how Vasquez Law Firm ensures personalized attention to each immigration case. Start at the center with the main focus, then explore the branches that show how individualized services, language support, and flexible payment options work together to provide the best legal representation.

Conclusion

Employment-based immigration can be a very complicated process and finding the right support can be difficult. But by asking the right questions of any immigration attorney who is looking to take your case, you can make an informed decision as to who is best to handle your case through the various stages of the employment-based visa processing.

When searching for the optimal immigration attorney to manage your employment-based green card case through the various stages of the employment-based visa process, there are several key factors to bear in mind:

  1. The attorney’s prior experience handling cases of different types of employment-based visas is key.
  2. The attorney’s general approach to the case must be taken into account.
  3. The attorney’s communication with the client is critical.
  4. How the attorney will be charging the client for his or her services, and what type of payment the attorney will accept.
  5. In cases where the client does not speak English fluently, does the attorney, and his or her staff, speak the client’s native language? Having bilingual staff greatly assists in facilitating the client’s immigration concerns.

When seeking the proper immigration representation for your situation, it is crucial to choose the right attorney, because that individual can mean the difference between an approval and denial. By asking the proper questions and exhaustively reviewing the attorneys under consideration, an individual looking to immigrate to the United States can make a prudent decision regarding their legal representation that can help effectively facilitate their attempts to legally reside in the country and in the end achieve their goals and aspirations.
