Why Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?
Immigration laws are very rigid and are constantly being challenged in the United States. If you are having trouble entering or remaining in the United States, it would be in your best interest to speak an immigration lawyer who is an expert in immigration laws.
It is important to remember that an immigration lawyer cannot lawfully guarantee that your case will succeed. The reason an immigration lawyer cannot assure that your case will succeed is because the discretion is not in your attorney’s hands. It is in the discretion of the immigration judge or officer overseeing your case. However, a qualified Lead Counsel Rated immigration attorney can assure that your immigration matters will be handled in the best possible way. Some of the ways an immigration attorney can assist you include:
- Staying up to date with knowledge of immigration laws and all relevant updates
- Determining the type of visa you should apply for depending on your reason to enter the United States
- Persuading the officer overseeing your immigration case to make a decision in your favor
- Preparing a waiver and an appeal on your behalf and making the best possible argument for your needs
- Submitting the waiver and appeal on your behalf
- Presenting your case in a manner that shows your case in a favorable light
- Assisting you in obtaining a specific visa given your particular case
- Helping you simplify the immigration process as much as possible
