01Emergencies

Immigration Emergency Situations

Situations requiring immediate same-day immigration attorney consultation

  1. Critical

    Received Notice to Appear (NTA)

    If you received an NTA placing you in removal/deportation proceedings, you need an immigration attorney immediately. Deportation proceedings are time-sensitive legal matters requiring urgent professional representation.

  2. Critical

    Detained by ICE

    Immigration detention requires immediate legal intervention. An attorney can work on bond hearings, release options, and deportation defense strategies. Family members should contact an attorney the same day of detention if possible.

  3. High

    Upcoming Immigration Interview Tomorrow

    If you have a USCIS interview, asylum interview, or consular interview tomorrow or in the next few days and need urgent preparation, same-day consultation can help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.

  4. High

    Immigration Court Hearing Soon

    Upcoming immigration court hearings without attorney representation put you at serious risk. While ideal to hire attorneys weeks in advance, last-minute representation is better than appearing pro se in deportation proceedings.

  5. Critical

    Application Deadline Tomorrow

    Filing deadlines cannot be extended. If your I-485, asylum application, or appeal deadline is tomorrow, urgent legal consultation may help determine if you can file on time and what documents are absolutely required.

  6. Critical

    Stopped at Airport or Border

    If you or a family member was stopped at a U.S. airport or border and is being questioned by CBP (Customs and Border Protection), immediate legal consultation helps understand rights and options.

  7. High

    Received RFE or NOID with Immediate Deadline

    Requests for Evidence (RFE) or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID) have strict deadlines. If you received one with limited response time remaining, urgent attorney consultation helps develop response strategy.

  8. Medium

    Need Emergency Travel Document

    Family emergency abroad requiring immediate travel while immigration case is pending? Urgent consultation helps determine if advance parole or refugee travel document can be expedited.

Don't Wait - Immigration Emergencies Require Immediate Action

If you're facing any of these situations, call Mandi Law Group immediately at (518) 698-0347. We'll prioritise your matter and schedule a consultation as early as the calendar allows. The sooner you call, the more room there is to act.

04Not an emergency

What's NOT an Emergency

Situations that don't require same-day emergency service

General Immigration Questions
Questions about immigration processes, eligibility, or options that aren't time-sensitive. These can be addressed through standard consultation scheduling.
Case Updates
Checking status of pending applications or wanting general updates. Use standard communication channels with your attorney's office.
Future-Dated Events
Interviews, hearings, or deadlines more than 1-2 weeks away typically don't require same-day emergency service. Schedule standard consultations.
Initial Consultation Shopping
Meeting multiple attorneys to compare and decide. This is important but not an emergency. Schedule regular consultations with multiple attorneys.

For non-emergency consultations, you can schedule regular appointments through our contact page.

06Questions clients ask

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really see an immigration attorney the same day I call?
For true emergencies (ICE detention, received NTA, imminent court hearing, immediate deadlines), we prioritize same-day consultations. Call (518) 698-0347, explain your urgent situation, and we'll schedule a phone or video consultation as soon as the schedule allows. Same-day availability cannot be guaranteed, especially for non-emergency general consultations or if you call late in the day. Call as early as possible.
What qualifies as an immigration emergency requiring same-day help?
True emergencies include: ICE detention, received Notice to Appear (NTA), upcoming immigration court hearing without attorney, imminent filing deadline (tomorrow), stopped at border/airport, received RFE/NOID with immediate deadline, or urgent interview/hearing in next 1-2 days. General questions about immigration processes or cases without urgent deadlines don't require emergency same-day service.
How much does a same-day emergency immigration consultation cost?
Consultations are confidential and paid; the fee is stated when you book and depends on length. For true emergencies (detention, deportation proceedings), we prioritize urgent scheduling without emergency surcharges. If you need immediate attorney representation (not just consultation), flat fees are quoted in writing before work starts, and payment plans are available. Government filing fees are set by USCIS and listed separately.
Can you help if my family member was detained by ICE today?
Yes. ICE detention requires immediate legal intervention. Call us immediately at (518) 698-0347. We'll schedule urgent consultation to discuss detention facility location, bond hearing possibilities, deportation defense options, and immediate steps. We can be retained same day if you decide to hire us, and begin working on your family member's case immediately. Time is critical in detention cases.
I received a Notice to Appear (NTA) today. How quickly can you help?
Receiving an NTA is serious and requires immediate attorney consultation. Call us today at (518) 698-0347. We'll schedule same-day phone or video consultation to review your NTA, explain what it means, discuss your options for deportation defense, and determine representation needs. NTAs require prompt legal action - don't delay. We can be retained same day if needed.
My immigration interview is tomorrow. Can you prepare me today?
While ideal interview preparation takes days or weeks, we can provide same-day emergency interview preparation consultation. Call immediately at (518) 698-0347. We'll schedule urgent consultation to review your case, explain what to expect at the interview, identify potential problem areas, and provide guidance on how to answer questions. Last-minute preparation is better than going unprepared.
What should I have ready when I call for a same-day consultation?
Have ready: (1) Your current immigration status, (2) Description of urgent issue (detention, NTA, deadline, etc.), (3) Relevant dates and deadlines, (4) Any documents you received (NTA, RFE, NOID, court orders), (5) Your contact information and availability today. Having this information ready helps attorneys assess your situation quickly and efficiently during the same-day consultation.
What happens if I call outside office hours?
Leave a message at (518) 698-0347 and it is read. We return calls within one business day, and detention or court-date matters are prioritised. The Latham office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET and welcomes walk-ins, with Saturdays by appointment. Calling early in the day gives us the most room to act on an urgent matter.
Can same-day consultation be done by phone or video instead of in-person?
Yes. Most same-day emergency consultations are conducted by phone or secure video conference. This allows fastest scheduling and eliminates travel time. Virtual consultations are as effective as in-person for initial case assessment, document review, and legal guidance. If in-person meeting is necessary, we can schedule after the initial same-day virtual consultation.
