You can book a consultation with Attorney Musani Imtiaz by calling (518) 698-0347, emailing us, or completing our online form. During the consultation, we review your immigration situation, assess eligibility, discuss legal options, explain the process, and provide a fee quote. We believe in accessible legal information to help you make informed decisions about your immigration case.
Initial consultations typically last 30-45 minutes, depending on case complexity. Simple matters (like green card eligibility questions) may take 20-30 minutes. Complex situations (deportation defense, asylum, multiple immigration issues) may require 45-60 minutes for thorough analysis. We allocate sufficient time to address your questions and provide comprehensive legal assessment without rushing.
Before consultation, gather: (1) all immigration documents (passports, visas, I-94s, work permits, green cards), (2) prior USCIS approvals or denials, (3) employment records if seeking work visa, (4) marriage/family documents if applicable, (5) criminal records if any arrests/convictions, (6) written timeline of immigration history, and (7) list of questions. Having documents ready helps your attorney provide more accurate and detailed guidance. Email documents in advance if possible.
Yes. We serve immigration clients nationwide through secure video and phone consultations. While our primary practice is in New York, immigration law is federal, and we can advise on eligibility, case strategy, and immigration options regardless of your location. If you need representation before USCIS outside New York or in immigration courts in other states, we can discuss whether we can represent you or provide appropriate referrals.
Yes. If you email or upload documents before your consultation, Attorney Imtiaz will review them in advance to provide more informed guidance during your meeting. For complex cases, consider sending key documents 24-48 hours before consultation so your attorney can conduct preliminary analysis. Document review during consultation helps identify issues and develop preliminary strategy.
Attorney Musani Imtiaz is fluent in English and Urdu. For clients who speak other languages, we work with professional interpreters to ensure clear communication during consultations and throughout representation. Please inform us of language needs when scheduling so we can arrange interpretation services. We regularly serve clients from diverse linguistic backgrounds throughout New York.
Yes. Spouses, family members, or friends are welcome to join your consultation for support and to hear the legal advice provided. For marriage-based cases, we often prefer to speak with both spouses together to understand the full situation. If you have an attorney-client privilege concern about third parties present, we can discuss privately before consultation begins.
If you decide to hire Mandi Law Group after consultation, we provide a written retainer agreement outlining: (1) scope of legal services, (2) attorney fees and payment schedule, (3) USCIS filing costs, (4) client responsibilities, and (5) terms of representation. Once you sign the agreement and pay the initial retainer, we begin work on your case immediately. You receive regular updates throughout the process.
Absolutely not. The consultation comes with no obligation to hire our services. Use the consultation to gather information, understand your options, and make an informed decision about legal representation. If you choose to hire a different attorney or proceed on your own, that's completely acceptable. Our goal is to provide helpful legal information regardless of whether you become a client.
We typically offer consultation appointments within 1-3 business days, sometimes sooner for urgent matters. If you have an emergency immigration situation (detention, imminent hearing, deportation order), contact us immediately at (518) 698-0347 and we'll prioritize scheduling. We offer flexible hours including evenings and weekends to accommodate working professionals and families.
