Why It Is Important to Use an Attorney When Immigrating to the United States


From the first settlement at Jamestown and the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock to the cultural melting pot of Ellis Island, immigrating to the United States has been a big dream. Even as society embraces the twenty-first century the dream lives on, but it's also become a big business. Countless immigrants apply to take up residence in the U.S. every year, but many fall through the cracks of its ever-changing immigration rules and regulations, losing money in the process through high-priced, non-refundable fees. Before you risk your hard-earned savings and attempt to go at it alone, you might wish to consider employing the help of a professional immigration attorney. Here's why:

Complexity - The law is a difficult subject to grasp. In fact, a recent study determined that immigration law is only second to the IRS code in complexity. In many cases, particularly where an applicant is not a fluent English speaker, it can greatly boost chances of a successful application by seeking the support of immigration attorneys.

Evolution - Not only is immigration law complex, but it is forever changing and evolving. New criteria are being tacked on all the time, and it's easy to make unwitting mistakes or omit pertinent information that could ultimately put you or your loved one's immigration status in jeopardy.

Time - While attorneys can't speed up the process, they have put in the years of training and research to know all the ins and outs of their sector of law. They also keep abreast of current changes to immigration rules, meaning you're less likely to fall into a trap when applying.

Risk Prevention - They'll professionally review your case before submitting it to a processing officer for approval, ensuring that every necessary document is available and organized in a clear-cut manner so that your immigration status won't be left up to someone else's interpretation.

Peace of Mind - By taking the risk out blind submissions, and knowing that an immigration attorney has given the green light for your application to be sent it in, you don't need sit at home biting your nails in anticipation. You'll have the peace of mind that a professional has put in the effort to make your case a success.

Now, every case is different and not everyone needs a 'legal eagle' on their side. If you're a native English speaker with a straightforward case, you might get by with only a review service. However, if you don't fall into this category, your case could seriously benefit from having an immigration attorney's help before you submit. Otherwise, you risk a potential rejection plus more application forms and fees in the future. In the end, it's your future you're gambling with so don't leave it up to chance.
