Process — How we work · Consultation ladder

Three doors in. You pick the one that fits.

Most firms hide their pricing and force everyone into the same intake call. We do the opposite: a transparent three-tier ladder so you decide how much firm time you need before you commit.

TIER · 01 Tier one · Free

First-touch call

Free / 15 minutes

Best for · early-stage questions, qualifying whether ELG is the right firm.

  • Quick review of your situation
  • Honest read on which visa pathway (if any) applies
  • Clear next step — paid consult, written quote, or referral
You leave with: a recommendation, not a sales pitch.

TIER · 03 Tier three · Paid

Strategy + document review

USD 150 / 60 minutes

  • Live review of up to 10 documents (apostilles, criminal records, bank letters)
  • Specific reject-risk flags before you submit
  • Engagement letter drafted on the call if you retain us

Paid-tier fees credit back to your engagement if you retain ELG within 60 days.

After the call

The engagement, once you retain us.

What happens between signing the engagement letter and closing the matter.

  1. 01

    Written engagement

    We send a fixed-fee quote and an engagement letter in your language. Nothing starts until you sign and the first 50% lands.

  2. 02

    Document gathering

    You receive a personalised checklist with deadlines. We chase apostilles and translations where you can't.

  3. 03

    Filing

    The matter is filed in person by a licensed attorney. You receive a stamped copy and a tracking number the same day.

  4. 04

    Follow-through

    We monitor government response times, respond to requirements, and pick up your cédula or final document on your behalf when permitted.

  5. 05

    Close & file

    Final 50% on completion. Your matter file stays with us. When the visa renews or the will needs updating, you call the same attorney.
