If you are among the millions of immigrants that come to the United States each year, you have inevitably seen how tedious the immigration process can be. This is not a process that takes a single day, it requires determination on your part and proof that must show the US Government that you are planning to be a productive part of society. Part of a successful immigration to the United States requires working with a qualified immigration attorney.

What Defines Qualified?

There are many attorneys that you can choose from, but you want to choose one that has not only years of experience in helping others achieve citizenship, but also has a high success rate. Experience will not benefit you if the immigration attorneys do not succeed in the vast majority of their cases. Regardless of how urgent your case is, when you interview prospective attorneys, ask them to elaborate on their success rate, and possibly what their plan of action is to ensure that your case is successful.

When Will I use a Green Card Attorney?

A green card attorney can be used for any part of the process. You can contact us to seek advice on certain situations, for help in passing the appropriate testing and also for help in representing you should be called in front of the Department of Immigration. One of the most common reasons why immigrants contact attorneys is for help in filling out the appropriate paperwork. The Department of Immigration is very strict in how the forms are filled out. If a field is missed or filled out incorrectly, your application can be denied, even if everything else is accurate.

There is no limit to the services that a green card – or immigration attorney – can provide you. The sooner you contact one, the better your chances are of achieving citizenship.

If you have recently been put through the deportation process, this is another case where you will need to hire an immigration attorney. Your deportation process can prove to be complex and in order to fight it efficiently, you need a qualified attorney at your side.

Is an Attorney Really Necessary?

That depends on how seriously you take your immigration status. While there are some immigrants who successfully immigrate to the US on their own, most do so with additional help. You want to ensure that you are filing for the right status, whether you are here as a student, an investor, seeking refuge and asylum or you have come to the United States to work.

Each type of immigrant status is subject to different types of paperwork and different sets of qualifications and criteria that must be met. Unless you are well versed in the process – having gone through it before – you will want to have a qualified immigration attorney to help you with all of the paperwork and any hearings you might be subject to.
