APPLICATION REVIEW

Check your Eligibility, Register, Begin your Forms, Sign & Pay when you’re Ready.

Our innovative online system allows you to figure out exactly which case or immigration benefit you

are likely eligible for, just by answering a few simple questions. After that, our system will allow you to register in our online client portal for free; with the assigned case you’re likely eligible for. You’ll be able to begin working on your case for free, by filling out our easy to understand forms (that become official USCIS forms) automatically, with our software. If you like our system and want to retain us for our Attorney Application Review service, you will be able to sign our representation agreement electronically and make your first payment.

Schedule and have your Initial Consultation with your Attorney

After you have made the minimum payment, you will be prompted to schedule your initial

consultation with your attorney. Your attorney will then contact you on the date and at the time you select. During the Consultation, your attorney will verify that you are indeed eligible for the case our software assigned, and that it is the best option for you. They will then instruct you on how to properly continue to fill out your assigned Immigration Forms, and about any required or recommended supporting documentation for your case type. Your attorney will also seek to address any questions or concerns you may have, about your individual process and petition

Finish completing your Forms, your Attorney Checks your Petition, and you Submit

You will use our innovative software system to continue to fill out the necessary forms for

your case, and any supporting documentation. Then when you have completed everything, your attorney will check your USCIS forms for accuracy, completeness, adherence to USCIS standards and procedures, and any possible ineligibility/inadmissibility grounds that might come up. Your attorney will tell you how best to address any problems with your petition that they observe, and then you will make the necessary and/or recommended changes. If you elected for the add-on service of having your attorney check your supporting documentation, they will also give you feedback on that. Once you have made the proper changes, you will print your petition, sign where indicated, and then send it off to USCIS in the pre-addressed and pre-paid envelope, we provide. From there, you’ll only have to make sure to respond to any ensuing correspondence or requests from USCIS, should there be any.

Have your Initial Consultation with your Attorney and let them get to work.

Your attorney will contact you as scheduled, for your consultation. They will verify your eligibility for

the case our software pre-selected, and make sure it is actually the best option for you. Your attorney will detail the steps for handling your specific immigration matter, and render you any necessary and pertinent legal advice. Addressing your questions, and requesting any documents and information that you’ll need you to provide (such as birth certificates), will also be priorities of the consultation. If you did not already retain Zontlaw formally, your attorney will send you a price quote (with the $150 dollar consultation fee deducted from the cost of your representation); after the consultation. You can then formally sign and retain us as your attorneys. After you make your first payment, your attorney will proceed to the next step. If you have already retained us, you’ll make your first payment if you haven’t already (the one after the $150 minimum), and your attorney will automatically proceed to the next step.

Your Attorney Compiles your Case, you Sign, and your Attorney Submits.

Your attorney prepares all necessary USCIS forms and any supporting materials in their power. If

there is supporting documentation that only you as the client have access to (ex: former employer letters), they will tell you exactly what you need to do and provide you with samples, so you can get the correct documentation. Once everything is ready, your attorney will compile your case into a professional legal petition, with a cover letter and a table of contents that will please USCIS and/or the other immigration authorities. They will check everything again, and send it to you to print and sign, via our secure online system. You will print and sign your completed case, and mail it to us in the envelope we provide. Your attorney will verify that you signed in the correct places, and they will send it off to the correct USCIS Dropbox, processing center, or other authority. It is possible that USCIS or other immigration authorities may request additional documentation/clarification regarding your petition. Your attorney will handle any such requests, communicating with you as required.

What are the Attorney Services that Zontlaw offers?

We are a full-service immigration law firm located in New York City, that proudly serves clients in all 50 States. Zontlaw Legal Services offers clients, fixed-fee legal services provided by licensed Attorneys. We utilize our own innovative, easy-to-use, and secure, online case management system, to provide: convenient, affordable, and effective legal services to our clients. Depending on your individual circumstances and the complexity of your case–which our easy and short online quizzes will help determine for you, we will direct you to the best options available for your individualized representation. Principally, we have three pathways that our clients and attorneys will pursue, depending on the complexity of the individual case, the client’s budget, and the amount of time the client wishes to put into their own immigration case. 1. Full Attorney Representation:  We provide traditional start-to-finish immigration legal services, with direct Attorney-to-client communication every step of the way; for all kinds of immigration petitions and benefits. This option is always available, and we will be very happy to represent you to the fullest extent; fairly, effectively, and zealously. This option is typically appropriate for more complex cases, as well as for our busier clients who wish to be less involved with their petitions. Because it is more work for our attorneys, this option will be more expensive. However, Full Attorney Representation might be the best and only option, if your case is very complex. Don’t worry about making that decision, however, because we will always let you know if we believe that Full Attorney Representation is necessary to effectively represent your interests. *For a full and detailed explanation of this service, please visit our How our Legal Services Work page.* 2. Attorney Application Review Service:  This option is more cost-effective for the client than Full Attorney Representation, and it enables the client to do their own Immigration petitions and applications. You will use our easy-to-use, online platform to fill out your USCIS petition and the required and recommended supporting documentation; all along while having the peace of mind that your USCIS petition will be carefully checked by one of our licensed attorneys, for accuracy and completeness.  Our attorneys will tell you if changes need to be made, and provide feedback on where and what to change. In this way, you can do much of the work yourself, save some money, and have the reassurance that you have done your petition correctly. This option will typically be available when your case is relatively straightforward, and we will always let you know if we believe that you’re a good candidate for this service. Additionally, for an added fee, you can elect to have your attorney review and provide feedback on your supporting documentation, as well. About our revolutionary and easy-to-use Immigration Software Platform: The software platform enables clients and attorneys the ability to complete most client-eligible USCIS immigration petitions–and the required supporting documentation, with ease and certainty. It takes the confusing and difficult-to-understand USCIS petitions and distills them down into easy-to-use forms, with step-by-step instructions, simple questions for the user to input, and real-time feedback as you go. As you fill in the information, the system only gets smarter and starts working for you. You will quickly notice that your name and biographical data that you previously entered, will be automatically filled in where required, on other parts of the form. In the end, you’ll have a real USCIS immigration petition, on their official form(s), without ever having to fill out a  confusing USCIS petition. You’ll also breathe easy as the data you input will be checked by the software system itself; and at the end, manually by a licensed attorney for completeness and accuracy. *For a full and detailed explanation of this service, please visit our How our Legal Services Work page.* 3. Phone Consultations Service: Schedule a phone consultation with one of our experienced attorneys. This service is a standalone fee of $150 dollars and we will set aside brief but ample time, to fully discuss your immigration situation and to help you move forward with confidence. If you decide to pursue either our Full Attorney Representation option or our Attorney Application Review service after your consultation, we will apply (subtract) your $150 dollar phone consultation fee towards the price of either service. It is our aim to please, make our clients comfortable, and always find them the best option. Schedule your consultation today.

Are Zontlaw Attorney Services prices competitive?

Zontlaw is committed to providing you with the best immigration representation at affordable prices. We as a firm utilize our own unique proprietary software to manage our client’s cases. What this really means for our clients is that we are able to handle cases for less than many other firms, because we have put in the time to automate much of our work. This means that not only can we provide savings to our clients, but we can spend more of our attorney’s precious hours double-checking to make sure your petition is done properly.

Can I handle Immigration Issues myself?

In most cases, the answer is, “no.” Immigration law is complicated and there is a lot at stake for you and/or your family. So even a simple mistake, like filling out the wrong form, omitting important information, forgetting to sign a form, or missing a deadline can have very serious consequences. However, common errors that can result in lengthy delays or application denials are easily avoided with the help of a qualified attorney.

Can a paralegal or someone else help me?

For every immigrant seeking officially recognized U.S. citizenship or residency, there are countless businesses and organizations offering help. While some of these offers are legitimate, many are not. Trying to figure out which ones can be overwhelming, confusing, and expensive. In reality, an experienced immigration lawyer is the only person who can provide the comprehensive legal assistance necessary to help you achieve your goals.
