Quoted $2500 by a lawyer for advanced parole and ended up doing it myself for under $800.

You know what really bothers me? Late last year, I requested a quote from a lawyer to assist me with the advanced parole application.

He quoted me $2,500 for his services, in addition to which I would still need to pay the $630 application fee and priority mailing fees. He also mentioned that after a month, I would need to pay an additional $250 for his “Continued Services and Representation.”

It was absurd. I took the time to collect all my documents, medical notes, and I had them translated and notarized. I followed a guide that many other dreamers had used. I quadruple checked everything to make sure it’s good.

It was still expensive, but I ended up spending less than $800.

What a greedy world, man. Screw these lawyers, taking advantage of us. Insane.
