Immigration lawyers help clients with all types of immigration issues relating to visas, green cards, citizenship, immigration benefits, and immigration processes. They also counsel clients in initial immigration steps and can assist in some decision-making. Immigration lawyers are important because U.S. immigration law is incredibly complex. Hiring an attorney can save a lot of time and frustration because lawyers understand the complicated laws far more than the average layperson. In addition, if you are considering applying for citizenship, you will want an immigration lawyer by your side to lead the way and help you through the process.
Here are just a few reasons why you may want to contact an immigration lawyer:
- You are unsure about your eligibility for a green card or specific visa.
- You are seeking asylum or a waiver.
- You wish to move to the United States to work for a U.S. employer, and this employer has failed to help you with the process of immigration.
- You wish to invest in a U.S. business and apply for citizenship through that method.
- You have considered starting the immigration process but, after seeing the application process and the number of forms you must complete and documents you must prepare, you realize that it is incredibly confusing, frustrating, and/or time-consuming.
- You are having difficulty with your already-ongoing immigration attempts.
- You were deported from the United States and want to apply to return.
- You don’t even know where to begin in the immigration process.
What can I expect in an initial consultation with an immigration lawyer?
The lawyer will ask you a list of questions about you, your desires, and your current status. You may wish to bring along personal documents relating to your immigration status. These include a passport, visa(s), records of any criminal convictions, communications with immigration authorities, and so forth. After collecting enough information, the lawyer will advise you on proceeding and inform you if you need any additional documents and what forms to file. During this meeting, you should feel free to ask any and all questions you may have! You should feel comfortable sharing any concerns with your lawyer and be reassured that this information will remain between you: lawyers must keep your conversations confidential.
