Do I Need An Attorney?
For many of the immigration forms, generally speaking you are not required to have an attorney, and the process is designed so people can manage it on their own. The forms and documents required for your visa can be overwhelming, government delays or mix-ups are inevitable, and mistakes by the applicant can have disastrous consequences. You would be wondering whether your case needs an attorney or not. We can’t take that decision for you, however we would like to provide an informed decision on whether you need an attorney or not.
As Immigration Consultants, we only offer non-attorney form preparation services. However, not everyone qualifies for form preparation services alone.
For example, persons that may need an attorney are applicants who:
* Have criminal records and are seeking a new immigration benefit (such as U.S. Citizenship).
* Have a history of giving false information to USCIS to obtain an immigration benefit.
* Have had a prior deportation on their record/file.
If you are not sure whether you need an attorney to assist you with your process, we invite you to consult with an attorney at the local bar association lawyer referral service to get legal advice regarding applying for an Immigration application, prior to filing anything with USCIS. We never discourage people from getting legal advice from an attorney. The more information they can get, the better informed they will be to make an informed decision regarding their case.
If after meeting with the attorney, they decide they want to move forward with the process without the use of an attorney, we are usually able to help them.
Many of the clients that have used our services are because:
* Their process is straightforward and does NOT require a Court hearing or complex legal proceedings
* All applications and documents are submitted by mail, and decisions are issued by mail to the clients directly (approval/green card/work permit, travel permit, etc.)
* They want to have one point of contact throughout their process (we do the consult, we prepare the forms, and we provide timely updates in your case)
