Attorney's fee may start $6,000, but it could go up depends on the size and experience on attorney. Some charges $10,000. But if you can qualify for EB2, most of company pick up the bill. For the PERM LC, advertisement cost starting $1,000. I-140 Filing Fee is $475, and Filing fee of I-485 & I-131 & I-765 with Biometrics is $1,010. Since the process is backlogged if you need to extend or renew H-1B, more added cost.
In conclusion, very pricey!

The site I'm giving you is used for fiance and family sponsorship, but when you get to the level of applying for citizenship it's all the same.
Most immigration lawyers charge about $200 per hour. The more leg work that you can do for them the better off you will be. The US fee for the citizenship application is currently $595. From start to finish for application fees from applying for the original visa in any form to US citizenship is about $2,500.
Best wishes!
