If you're in removal proceedings, like they're actively deporting you, it could probably be a lot more than that, like twice that much. So it kind of depends on your case. But then the government has filing fees, right? So applications have like sometimes like $1,100 filing fees. And that's only one of the four applications that you have to file. So, I mean, you have to have a lot of money.

Yeah. So because they're coming here, it's immigration law. It's federal over every state. But because they're coming here, it's sort of like just federal immigration law. So it doesn't matter where you are. You're still working with the American embassy.
