Costs and Timing

  1. We will be doing rolling filings. This means I will file the case as soon as we have a sufficient number for an individual case. However, we will file the case no later than August 22, 2025. This means, for now, we will stop onboarding no later than 5:00 PM Eastern on August 18, 2025. We will file the cases, serve the cases, and then move for a judgment. We cannot guarantee any results.

  2. If President Trump ends the bona fide determination process, we will push forward to challenge the ending of the program and we will push for waiting list decisions—which get you deferred action and work authorization.

  3. Costs: For one adult, we charge $1854; For two adults or more, we charge $3296. We do not charge for any children under the age of 16. But for a child under 16 to join the suit, an adult must also join the case. These are the total costs for the case if you do not do a payment plan.

  4. Payment Plans: For 1 adult, we accept 3 payments of $650 (total $1950); and for 2+ adults, we accept 4 payments of $850 (total of $3400). Yes, we charge a small administrative fee for payment plans.

Also, if you get a request for evidence, your petition attorney NOT Banias Law, will be responsible for responding to USCIS timely.
