Do You Have an Immigration Issue?

Different Types of Immigration Cases

What happens if you fail an immigration interview?

For any immigration interview, such as for citizenship, a green card, or a visa, “failing” an interview” usually means that you will get another chance.

If you fail an interview, you should consider talking with an immigration attorney to better prepare and go over your options.

How much does an immigration lawyer cost?

If you are looking for an immigration lawyer and you are worried about costs, you should discuss at the outset about what fees you can expect and whether there are options for installment payments. Many legal aid organizations provide immigration assistance for lower costs.

If you are arrested, it is important to speak with a criminal defense attorney who understands what will happen to your immigration status if you simply plead guilty. Accepting a plea deal could mean deportation.

How long does it take to get a green card?
