how much you paid your lawyer vawa?
I’m especially curious:
– How much did you pay your lawyer overall (including the VAWA filing)?
– Were you charged extra for responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE)?
– Where are you based (state/city), if you’re comfortable sharing?
For context:
I applied for VAWA back in 2021 and paid my original lawyer $8,000. Fast forward almost five year that lawyer has now resigned, and I’ve received an RFE.
I’m switching attorneys and having a new lawyer take over the case just to review the file and respond to the RFE. She’s still working on the retainer, but so far I’ve already paid about $1,700 just for her to review the paperwork without committing to it and not a deep dive.
She said once she goes page by page, her rate will be $600–700 per hour, and she estimates it could take around three hours. At this point, it feels like I’ll end up close to $10,000 total for the whole process.
Would really appreciate hearing others’ experiences what’s normal, what’s high, and whether RFEs usually mean extra legal fees like this.

Decision time after RFE response is received for Eb1c in premium processing
USCIS received my RFE response on 15 Dec for eb1c in premium. I am on business day 34 today. Any idea how long has USCIS been taking to provide decisions after RFE response is received? Also I was issued an RFE on BD 38 if that matters. The RFE also was a boilerplate RFE with some stuff pointed out that had been already submitted. #eb1c #pp

Approved! The application submission date is March 21, 2023. The approval date is February 3, 2026. A service center in Nebraska. During this time, we have done everything possible. We wrote to the congressman, the US Security Service, and even the president. But the answers were always standard, the case is under review, wait. To all those who are also waiting, I wish you speedy approval, patience, trust and remember that you and your family are always there, even when you are at a distance. Well, we're moving on to the next stage.
