My boyfriend (Japanese citizen) and I (US citizen) have lived in Japan together for 6-7 years and would like to move to the US, get married, and start a family. We reached out to an attorney based in California who is charging 7.5k USD plus costs (with at least 500 USD in costs written in the contract) for the entire process. I’m trying to find what the average cost for this process is, but I’m having a hard time finding a price range. Our case is straightforward although my boyfriend has been denied entry to the US once for overstaying a travel visa by one day. I’m looking at other attorneys, but it would add peace of mind to know what’s generally considered a “good” price.
If someone could point me to a helpful resource or share approximately what they’ve spent on attorney fees, I would really appreciate it.
