Anyone who has gone through the immigration process will tell you that it is not easy, and definitely one you do not want to tackle alone. Aside from the extensive paperwork required, many people struggle with the instructions and everything required of them. This is especially true for people from countries where English is not their first language. Hiring a skilled Chicago immigration attorney can eliminate the complexity and anxiety you will likely experience attempting it alone. Here are six reasons why it is important to hire an immigration attorney:
Filing correct paperwork is one of the most important elements of the immigration process. A skilled immigration attorney will avoid making easy mistakes that can cost you the chance at the American dream. Paperwork is complex, and without the help of an expert, it is easy to make mistakes and have your application subsequently denied.
Deadlines are a critical part of the immigration process. When you hire an immigration attorney, it becomes his or her responsibly to verify that all of the documentation is present, correctly filled out, and is handed in within any applicable deadlines. It is far too easy to overlook a simple detail that could jeopardize your entire case, but hiring a professional can transfer that responsibly to an expert.
Your immigration attorney will discuss strategy and procedure with you. He or she can advise you on the best course of action for your particular scenario and verify whether you are taking the correct route. For example, if you are applying for an employment-based immigration visa, an attorney can tell you which one is best for your situation and which ones have the best chances of being approved.
In the unfortunate event your petition is denied for some reason, your immigration attorney will fight to protect your rights and help you appeal the decision.
It is important to ensure that none of your rights are violated throughout the immigration process, and that is something you will not necessarily know on your own. Your immigration attorney will ensure that your rights are protected throughout the petition process and advise you on what to do if they are violated.
Once your petition is approved and you are a permanent resident, you are still bound by a separate set of special laws that only apply to you during your time in the United States. Failure to follow all laws could result in being deported or losing permanent residency.
