In the event of any collection proceedings, including a lawsuit, are required to collect the balance
due for legal services rendered and/or costs, you agree to pay for any and all reasonable attorney’s
3
fees and costs and/or collection company fees incurred in the collection process. In addition, you
agree to bear all photocopying and courier costs for reproduction and mailing of the case file.

Labor Certification Process

The Permanent Labor Certification Process (PERM) is 100% owned by the Employer. AIILAW
and Mercan are unable to provide the Client-Employee with any information regarding the
Permanent Labor Certification Process. All fees associated with the PERM will be covered by
the Employer.

The Client-Employee understands that he/she shall not contact the Employer directly. Any
request for contact must be routed through AIILaw, which also represents the Employer in these
cases. Contacting the Employer directly can be considered cause to terminate this Agreement.

Conflict of Interest Waiver

In entering this agreement, the Client-Employee consents to this firm’s dual representation of the
employer and prospective Employee throughout the immigration process. This firm will
represent the prospective Employee in filing the employment-based petition and visa issuance
process or immigrant-based petition in which employer “sponsors” one or more employees. We
shall owe equal duties of care and responsibility to both the employer and the Employee,
including permanent duties of confidentiality and loyalty, subject to Rules of Professional
Responsibility. Such dual representation relationships are common in business immigration
matters and are permissible under legal ethics rules if all parties agree to it. The Employee may
terminate its consent at any time, with notice, in its sole discretion. Until such termination, this
consent shall cover all immigration processes described herein.

If, at some time in the future, tensions arise between Employee and the employer we also
represent, we will exercise reasonable professional judgment to decide when it may be required
to share certain information or perhaps even withdraw from representation of one or both parties.
If a potential conflict of interest arises, we will seek to resolve the conflicts to the extent possible
under the Rules of Professional Responsibility which govern lawyer conduct. However, if we are
unable to continue representation due to the conflict (or the potential of a conflict), we may be
required to withdraw from representation. We encourage you to consult with independent
counsel of your choice regarding your agreement to permit this dual representation of you and
the Employer to ensure that you are freely, knowingly, and voluntarily entering into this
understanding without any reservation of rights.

Dispute Provision
Finally, in entering into this engagement, Employee agrees that any controversy between us
arising under, out of or in connection with any aspect of the relationship created by this Legal
Services Agreement will be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia and will be
submitted for resolution through binding arbitration proceedings and governed by Virginia
Code §8.01-581.01, et. seq. Furthermore, any such arbitration proceeding will take place in
Fairfax County, Virginia. Please note, however, that by accepting this clause to arbitrate,
Employee acknowledge that he/she is waiving certain rights including, among others, the right

4
to trial by jury, and acknowledges that he/she has an absolute right to consult with independent
legal counsel prior to signing this Agreement and accepting this clause.

Dear Client:

Thank you for agreeing to hire American Investor Immigration Law, PLLC (“AIILaw”) in
connection with the filing of documents in connection with your immigration to the United States
as an “other worker” under the EB-3 visa category. The purpose of this letter to inform you of the
scope of our services, define your rights as a client, and provide you with a copy of our Legal
Services Agreement for your review and signature.

Immigration law in the United States involves exclusively matters of federal law, meaning
an attorney licensed in any U.S. state may lawfully practice it, file documents to USCIS or the
Department of State and undertake other professional services in connection with the representation
of immigration clients anywhere in the U.S. or outside of it seeking to immigrate here. The scope
of services and fee for these legal services are outlined in the attached Legal Services Agreement.

Please know that my office will make every reasonable effort to represent you to the best of
our abilities and that there are no guarantees regarding the success of these efforts. There may exist
long governmental processing delays which are totally beyond our control, resulting from
government backlogs, staff shortages, etc.

We ask that you cooperate with my office in keeping me advised of changes of address,
telephone number, or employment; plans to leave the United States; and any other circumstances
bearing on your case; and that you will execute applications as required and obtain as soon as
possible all documents and information that may be necessary to the successful conclusion of this
case. This is also to confirm that it is essential that you advise my office of all facts about your
personal background and past employment and agree to inform my office as soon as you receive
any communication bearing on the case from the United States government, including, without
limitation, USCIS or Department of State.

Our office shall be reasonably available during U.S. business hours for consultation with
you, however email is generally the preferred means of communication. We shall retain records of
your file, almost always electronically, indefinitely and in accordance with various state
requirements. We will provide a full (electronic) copy of your file available to you at your request.

Thank you again for hiring AIILaw to pursue your immigration matters, and we look forward
to working on your behalf.

Very truly yours,

Robert Lubin
Costs Page

Applicant understands there shall be substantial out of pocket costs incurred by all service providers
such as overseas courier costs, travel to meetings, assistance with landing, document preparation,
copier charges and the like. To simplify the accounting, the parties agree to a flat cost charge of
$1,500 per case, $750 payable at the beginning of the case and the other $750 upon I-140 Approval.
(These payments are in addition to the Service Fee noted in the Agreement ($9,750).

The Applicant is separately responsible for the following filing fees, which are required by the U.S.
government at various points throughout the legal process (with the exception of the optional
premium processing upgrade):

Stage Fee For: Amount

Form I-140 Form I-140 Filing Fee $700
Premium Processing Upgrade (optional) $2,500
Immigrant Visa National Visa Center Fee (per person) $345
Form I-485 Form I-485 Filing Fee (per person) $1,225
Green Card USCIS Immigrant Fee (per person) $220

Note that not all fees are required in all cases. For example, an Applicant will pay either the
immigrant visa fee or file Form I-485 for each person, but will not do both. Other fees you will need
to pay include the fees for the interview medical examination (usually $200 per person) and fees for
translation and certification of certain required documents.

We will handle all of these for you, but wanted to apprise you now so that you know what to expect
in the process. Please acknowledge receipt of this cost information by signing below.

I understand the costs in my EB-3 process which are separate from the Service Fees.
