Can I change attorneys in the middle of the process?

Yes. Changing attorneys is permitted even with your EB-5 process already underway. Legal representation is your choice, and you have the right to seek the professional who best fits your case. What changes is not the permission, but the care with which the transition needs to be handled.

Before switching, it is worth reviewing the agreement signed with your current attorney, paying attention to termination clauses and any outstanding fees. The most sensitive point is making sure the change does not jeopardize any deadlines already in progress before immigration authorities, so that case oversight continues without interruption.

• The change is your right, but it should be planned carefully.
• Review your current agreement before ending the relationship.
• Make sure the transition does not affect ongoing deadlines.

When choosing the new professional, prioritize demonstrated experience with EB-5 and up-to-date knowledge of immigration rules. Initial consultations, recommendations, and independent research help identify a reliable attorney and maintain the legal soundness of your process.
