• How much does it cost to hire Saif for a immigration case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Saif walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Saif offer a free consultation?

• How long do immigration cases in Minnesota typically take?

  Simple immigration matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Saif gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Saif take my case if I'm outside Rochester?

  Saif is licensed in Minnesota. Matters governed by Minnesota law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Saif will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Saif?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Saif will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
