The United States immigration system is notoriously complex, especially if you intend to secure a visa or attain citizenship. For those without an immigration lawyer, the application process can seem impenetrable, which is why the attorneys at Cavanaugh-Bill Law Offices in Elko strive to make the legal system accessible to everyone.

If you're planning to engage with the American legal system, their immigration lawyers recommend:

• Expecting Delays: Always apply for renewals and visas well in advance, especially if you are already in the country. If your immigration documents expire before your application is approved, you could find yourself facing penalties or even deportation. In general, you should always expect things to take much longer than the official estimates.
• Applying For Citizenship: If you plan to stay in the U.S. long-term and have already received immigration approval, obtaining U.S. citizenship may be your best course of action. As a citizen, you'll no longer be required to interact with United States Custom and Immigration Services (USCIS) and will no longer be subject to deportation.
• Keeping Your Address Current: Any immigrant in the U.S. who is staying for more than 30 days is required to provide USCIS with their most recent address. Your immigration lawyer can take care of this for you, or you can update your address on the USCIS website.
