Immigration lawyer fees by kosanne
Hello, I applied for my belgian nationality, but it was not accepted. So I have appealed and I am looking for an immigration lawyer for my case. How much will it cost me? Anyone who has worked with an immigration lawyer before?
![ZazaBE ZazaBE](/images/avatars/default/avatar.png)
ALTEA lawyer firm should be very good, specialized in immigration law, they advised me for my case, though I did not need to hire them further. Did they reject you for some minor issues, or it is a bigger deal? Read More

You can always apply again with complete documentation this time, right? Or add the missing documents into the appeal? In any case, I always think the appeal is worth doing. Read More

I completely understand your stress. The problem here is whichever new employer you find, you might end up with the same issue with the paperwork. In other words, every new employer will have to wait for you to get that bijlage before you can start ... Read More
