We typically operate on a fixed-fee basis and create customized payment schedules based on the services offered. Often, we ask for the full amount of our professional fees as a retainer. In other cases, we break the payment into segments, such as 50% on retainer and 50% on submission, or three to four instalments, depending on the file’s size, scope, complexity, and timeline. We do our best to offer payment terms that are relevant to the complexity and scope of the file and work with clients in various circumstances. We do not offer contingency billing, so our fees are not dependent on visa success or approval.
