Whether you’re applying for an H-1B visa or pursuing U.S. citizenship, the complexity of the American immigration system can make achieving your dreams challenging. An immigration attorney can be an instrumental resource, interacting with the government on your behalf and helping you avoid common mistakes that can cause lengthy delays or a rejection of your petition entirely. Below are some of the reasons to hire an immigration law firm to represent your interests.

How Can an Immigration Law Firm Help You? 

1. Filling out Paperwork

Every visa and citizenship petition requires extensive applications and documentation, which can often be confusing even for native English speakers. USCIS officials will often reject petitions over as single mistake, after which you may have to launch a lengthy appeal or start the process over again. Immigration attorneys with extensive experience will be able to fill out the paperwork for you, eliminating errors and increasing your chances of success.

2. Help Understanding Your Options

Some visas are easier to obtain than others, so understanding all the pathways open to you will streamline the process of gaining legal status. Experienced immigration attorneys have the expertise to explain all of the available options and will offer their insights to help you make the right choices.

3. Guidance Based on the Most Recent Changes

The U.S. immigration system is always changing, with rule revisions and adjustments made on a monthly basis. Relying on outdated information can cause you to miss deadlines or invest time in a pathway that has been closed, which is why it’s best to consult a lawyer. Immigration attorneys constantly update their legal knowledge, giving them the ability to issue guidance based on the most recent developments in the law.
