Talk to us

MERIT IQ is not a law firm; attorney fees for filing and representation are separate and paid directly to your chosen licensed attorney. Pricing reflects our documentation, mentorship and analysis services only.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about cost

Is the gap analysis really free?

Yes — no card, no auto-enrollment. It exists so you can make an informed decision before spending anything.

What if I only need documentation help, not full mentorship?

Tell us at intake — we scope engagements to what your record actually needs rather than a one-size package.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, staged payments are available for the Build & File package. Ask during your gap analysis call.

Does this include attorney fees?

No. We prepare and structure your case; a licensed immigration attorney handles legal review and filing, billed separately.
