Here Are the Top Five Reasons to Hire an Immigration Lawyer
An Immigration Lawyer Will Advocate for You
What do immigration lawyers do?
First and foremost, they advocate for you. An immigration lawyer is there to protect your interests and advocate for your rights. While the other individuals involved in the process (e.g., immigration officers, government attorneys) are there on behalf of the U.S. government, your lawyer is there strictly for you and your family.
Avoid Mistakes
There are many steps involved in an immigration proceeding. Filing the proper applications—and filing them correctly—is absolutely essential in any given immigration process. The forms and supporting evidence required are extensive and complex.
Without the help of a knowledgeable attorney, crucial paperwork may be filled out incorrectly or crucial evidence may be omitted, leading to denials or the need for corrections. Applying for legal status, citizenship, and work permits require the unique skill of an immigration lawyer.
Explain Your Legal Options
Depending on the situation, you may have more than one option available. Another reason to hire an experienced immigration lawyer is the fact that they can put all your options on the table and explain the pros and cons of each. This will allow you to make the most informed decision about what to do next. Great peace of mind comes with knowing your options and making the best well-informed decision for you and your family.
Expedite the Process
A seasoned immigration attorney can streamline the process for you. With extensive experience obtaining immigration status for clients, a skilled attorney is less likely to make time-consuming mistakes.
Completing an application correctly the first time will save you a tremendous amount of time and money. Our goal is to get your application processed as quickly as possible while maintaining a high quality of work.
Familiarity with the System
Hiring an attorney that focuses their practice on immigration law means they are familiar with the system, process, and people involved.
An experienced immigration attorney is familiar with the ins and outs of the U.S. immigration system and how it works. More importantly, reputable attorneys maintain good professional working relationships with government immigration officers, law enforcement, and other attorneys.
