Immigration cases are personal, and the way people talk about working with us reflects that. Here’s what a few of them had to say.

How Flagship Law Works With You


Tell Us About Your Situation

Call, email, or fill out the form on this page. We’ll set up a confidential consultation with an attorney. Most people come to that first call anxious about what lies ahead. Our goal is to leave you clear on what happens next.

In-Depth Case Review

Once you retain us, we review everything in detail and look for issues that weren’t obvious at first. That can mean pulling records from USCIS or the immigration court, researching the law, and coordinating with the offices that can move your case forward.

Stay Updated

You’ll see your filings as we make them, including the exact petition we submit to USCIS. No wondering what happened to your case or when. Some cases need more steps than others, and we’ll keep you updated through whatever yours requires.

Get a Clear, Flat Fee

Once you decide to move forward, you’ll know the full cost upfront. If your case grows more complex, like an added waiver, we’ll walk you through what changes and why.

Case Preparation

We build the strongest case we can from the documents and evidence we’ve gathered. If your case includes an interview, we run a full mock interview first, so you’re ready before you walk into the room.

Support After Approval

Approval isn’t always the last step. We make sure you know what comes next, from compliance deadlines for a company to the dates and requirements that keep an individual’s status in good standing.

Hiring across borders

Our work with companies follows a different track, designed around your timelines and your workforce. We manage employment-based immigration for teams of every size, from a first international hire to a global mobility program.

FAQs

Answers to Common Immigration Law Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a marriage-based green card or K-1 visa?

You’re not legally required to have one, but the requirements have gotten stricter. USCIS now requires an in-person interview in nearly every marriage-based case, and small inconsistencies between what you and your spouse say can raise questions. An attorney can help you prepare your documentation and get ready for that interview before you walk in.

Can you help if you’re concerned you didn’t reach a fair outcome?

Yes. If your case was denied, or you don’t think the decision was right, you may have options to appeal or refile. Because of Divij’s litigation background, we can also take a case to federal court when USCIS gets a decision wrong, rather than referring it out like many immigration firms do.

Will I have to attend an interview for my case?

For most marriage-based green card cases, yes. USCIS significantly cut back on interview waivers in 2026, so nearly all marriage-based applicants and their spouses are now required to appear in person. Employment-based cases, like those built on an O-1, EB-1A, or National Interest Waiver petition, still qualify for a waiver more often, though it isn’t guaranteed. We’ll tell you what to expect for your specific case type.

Do you handle immigration for companies, or only individuals?

Both. A good portion of our work is employment-based immigration for companies, from H-1B specialty occupation visas and L-1 transfers to O-1 visas for senior hires and the PERM process for employment-based green cards. If you’re not sure which category a hire falls into, that’s part of what we discuss during our first conversation.

What’s the difference between an O-1 visa, EB-1A, and National Interest Waiver?

All three are built around extraordinary ability or achievement, but they work differently.

  • An O-1 is a temporary work visa that generally needs an employer or agent to petition for you.
  • EB-1A and a National Interest Waiver are both green card categories, and both let you self-petition without an employer’s sponsorship.
    • A National Interest Waiver specifically waives the usual labor certification and job offer requirements if your work is in the national interest.

Do you only work with large companies?

No. We work with companies at every stage, from a startup sponsoring its first international hire to an established company running a larger immigration program. Either way, you work directly with the attorney on your matters, not a separate account team.

Do I need my employer to sponsor an extraordinary ability green card?

Not for EB-1A or a National Interest Waiver. Both are self-petitioned, so you can file without an employer’s sponsorship. An O-1 visa is different, since it typically needs an employer or agent to act as your petitioner, even if you’re the one directing the work.

Can you manage immigration for multiple employees at once?

Yes. We handle employment-based cases at volume, with every filing tracked in one place so you can see where each one stands. You won’t have to email a paralegal to find out whether a petition went out or when.

How much do I need to invest for an EB-5 green card, and how long does it take?

As of 2026, the minimum investment is $800,000 for a project in a targeted employment area, or $1,050,000 for a standard project, with an increase expected in 2027. Timelines vary quite a bit based on the project, your country of birth, and current visa availability, so it’s worth discussing your specific situation directly rather than relying on a general estimate.

What happens if we run into an I-9 or compliance issue?

Staying compliant is easier when someone’s watching the details before they become problems. We help companies keep their filings and records in order, so an issue surfaces early instead of during an audit.

How much does it cost to work with an immigration attorney?

We bill flat fees for nearly every case, not by the hour, so you’ll know the cost before we start. The exact fee depends on your case type and its complexity, and we’ll walk you through that during your consultation.

Do you only work with clients in New York City?

No. Federal immigration law means a licensed immigration attorney can represent clients anywhere in the U.S. While our office is located in Manhattan’s Financial District, we work with clients across New York, New Jersey, and beyond, including fully remote consultations for people who can’t come to Manhattan.

Will I actually be able to reach my attorney?

Yes. A lot of our clients come to us because they could only ever reach a paralegal at their last firm, or their attorney wasn’t available when it counted. You work directly with the attorney on your case, and we’re known for responding quickly when something comes up.
