Why Consultations Are Paid
We charge for initial assessments and legal consultations. This is not primarily about revenue — it is about the quality and honesty of the advice itself.
The Problem With Free Legal Advice in Migration
Migration agents and brokers in Bangladesh regularly offer free initial consultations. This seems like a benefit to the client. In practice, it creates an incentive structure that makes honest advice structurally unlikely.
A free consultation is a sales conversation. The advisor's economic interest lies in converting the conversation into a paid engagement. An advisor who tells a prospective client 'your situation is not eligible — you should not pursue Ukraine' earns nothing. An advisor who tells them 'we can arrange this — the process is simpler than it looks' earns the full broker fee. The incentive is to find a route forward even when the honest assessment is that no viable route exists.
Paid consultations change this: you pay for the assessment, and the advisor has no financial interest in any particular outcome of that assessment. The only correct outcome is an accurate one.
What a Paid Eligibility Assessment Costs
Our eligibility assessment costs $30. It produces a written document that tells you:
- Which Ukrainian migration routes are available to your specific situation
- Which are not available, and why
- What risks apply — immigration history flags, qualification gaps, employer concerns
- What steps would be needed to pursue the available routes
- What we estimate the realistic timeline and full cost would be
If the assessment concludes that your situation is not currently eligible for any Ukrainian migration route, you have paid $30 to know that before spending 3–5 lakh BDT on a broker process that was never going to succeed. That is the cheapest possible outcome of a migration inquiry that was going to end badly.
Is $30 Affordable?
We set the assessment fee at a level that is accessible to the applicant population we serve. $30 is approximately 3,300 BDT at current exchange rates. It represents roughly 1% of the average broker fee charged for a fraudulent Ukraine package. We believe it is the right price for a document that should precede any migration decision — one that will either confirm you have a viable path or save you from a much larger loss.
Subsequent Consultations
Our legal consultation service ($80/hour) is for specific legal questions that arise during or after the assessment. This is not a requirement — clients who have a clear assessment and choose to proceed directly to a service (document review, employer verification, application preparation) do not need to purchase a separate consultation. It is available for clients with complex scenarios who want direct lawyer engagement on a specific question.
