4 Benefits of Hiring an Immigration Lawyer

Johnstone Adams • July 19, 2022

When seeking immigration benefits in the U.S., it’s important to hire an immigration lawyer  to help navigate the process and provide you with guidance on the ins and outs of the immigration filing process. Some benefits of hiring an attorney can include:

1. Assurances That The Paperwork Is Done Accurately

Pursuing U.S. immigration benefits involves extensive paperwork. Completing the forms and assembling the required supporting documentation can be both daunting and confusing. Experienced immigration attorneys know exactly how these forms must be filled out.. Failure to complete these forms correctly can significantly delay approval of your requested immigration benefits and could result in you having to pay additional filing fees.

2. Assistance Getting Permits

Immigration lawyers can help get you the authorization you need to work in the U.S.. An experienced attorney knows what information you need to provide to obtain work authorization and to keep your application moving. Without a legal expert, you can make a mistake that can delay the process.

3. Present You With Options

There is more than one path to U.S. citizenship. When navigating the process on your own, you might not be aware of other options. This is where an immigration attorney can help. He or she can lay out various options for you, explain the pros and cons of each path, and ensure you understand the choice you are making and how that will impact your process and timeline towards citizenship.

4. Experience From Other Cases

While this is likely your first time pursuing an immigration benefit, it is not your immigration attorney’s first time helping a client through the process (hopefully!). Your immigration lawyer will be aware of the many different scenarios and pathways to the immigration benefit you are seeking. This will benefit you as he or she has the experience to know what documentation you need to provide, what options might work best, and can tell you what to expect throughout the journey.
