If you are facing immigration issues you may have many challenges ahead of you to overcome. In addition, the terminology used in immigration documents can be complex and confusing, as well as the laws regarding immigration. These are the main reasons why we believe it is best to seek guidance from an immigration lawyer in California.

Moreover, if English is not your first language, it can get even more complicated since the required steps to take, as well as what are the best options for immigrating to the United States will be hard to understand.

Here we have listed five benefits you will get from hiring an immigration attorney to represent you throughout the complicated process that immigration is:

1. Experience in preparing immigration forms

An immigration lawyer will have the necessary experience that will avoid mistakes. The attorney will also be able to know what is the correct paperwork that needs to be filed – which can be extensive and complicated – and it is likely that s/he has done this many times before.

You, on the other hand, are probably facing some of these procedures for the first time and the probability of making a mistake is very high. Work permits, marriage licenses and citizenship are just a few of the things a good immigration attorney knows by heart and will be able to help you with, particularly considering the common delays and high scrutiny the government is placing on immigration applications as of 2020.

2. An immigration lawyer will be able to explore all of your options

No matter what your situation is, there are always options to consider and since a lawyer that is experienced in immigration law knows all of the options that exist, s/he can show you those that you can choose from by also making sure you understand the full scope of your circumstances.

If you are facing deportation, for instance, your situation is more likely very urgent and sensitive, which is why you need to understand every little detail that is related to your situation and a lawyer is the perfect professional for that task.

3. As a permanent resident, an immigration attorney can advise you

If you have obtained your permanent residency in the United States, you can still contact your immigration lawyer since there are special laws that apply only to immigrants and you need to understand and follow them. If you fail to do so, you may face deportation, even before your visa expires or after acquiring permanent resident status. Therefore, if you have any questions and you are a permanent resident, do not hesitate to go back to your immigration attorney for advice.

4. A good immigration lawyer can help you trace your path to obtaining US citizenship

Many immigrants want to eventually obtain a Green Card or US citizenship and immigration attorneys can help this dream become a reality. S/he knows what is needed so that you can take every step of this process with confidence.

If you are facing interviews and need to file tons of paperwork, this is what the immigration lawyer is here for. The attorney will help you prepare for the questions you will need to answer in the consulate or before immigration authorities and compiling relevant documents required for the process.

5. An immigration attorney can give legal advice

An attorney is licensed and authorized to give legal advice. If you ask someone how you can obtain your lawful status, or whether you qualify for a green card, the response involves legal advice, which only an attorney can give. A consultation with an experienced immigration lawyer could reveal whether you qualify for the relief you are seeking or not. If it turns out that due to the current laws in place, you are not eligible to obtain the immigration benefit you seek, then you would be able to walk away from the consultation with a correct and honest answer, and you would have saved potentially waiting for years and spending thousands of dollars that would not have amounted to any benefit.
