A short and quick summary of some reasons to hire an Immigration Attorney.

  1. Introduction

    I am a firm believer of the saying, "better to be safe than sorry." In an Immigration context, while some individuals choose to handle their own matters personally, I strongly urge people to seek out and retain an Immigration attorney. Below is a non-exclusive list of some of the vital times when each and every person who needs immigration law help should seek out an immigration attorney. An immigration lawyer is not connected with the USCIS or Federal Government and is there to help you deal with many immigration issues such as visas, green cards and citizenship, just to name a few. Not all immigration issues require an immigration attorney. With that said, U.S. immigration law is extremely complex and ever-changing, and more often than not, hiring an immigration attorney can save you time and even money.

  2. Obtaining a Immigration attorney is vital when

    1. Your previously filed application was been denied; 2. You are on a time deadline, or have a visa that will soon expire; 3. You are experience delays with an application; 4. You are confused about what forms to use or how to fill them out; 5. You have been told by the USCIS or Federal Government that you are Inadmissible or will be deported; 6. You have, or will be going to immigration court/proceedings and have no legal representation. Again, this is not the entire list of the reasons you need an Immigration Attorney.

  3. In Summary

    Whenever you do meet with one, it's your chance to give that attorney as much information as possible so they can give you the best strategy and advice possible; and provide you options that you may not have known of before. You should feel very comfortable speaking and giving the attorney you choose any and all information about your matter. My firm handles all types of Immigration cases.
