When to Contact Orange County Immigration Lawyers
Any time you must interact the with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you should have a knowledgeable immigration lawyer such as those at Wilner & O’Reilly, APLC working with you. Although the law does not require representation by an attorney when applying to sponsor a relative or adjust your status, the benefits of an immigration attorney working to manage your interactions with USCIS far outweigh the cost.
When Should I Contact an Orange County Immigration Lawyer?
You should arrange for legal representation as soon as possible—the longer you wait, the greater the chance of error or oversight that will delay your immigration benefits and possibly even lead to difficulty and deportation.
An immigration lawyer can help with any of the following:
- Routine adjustment of status
- Adjustment of status after a visa expiration
- Employment-based immigration and nonimmigrant work visas
- International adoption
- Adoption of your foreign partner’s children
- Extraordinary ability/entertainment visas
- Immigrant visas/family reunification/sponsorship applications
- Investment and entrepreneur-based visa applications
- Citizenship applications
- Defense against removal
Even if you feel that yours is a simple, clear-cut case without any wrinkles or complicating factors, you still need an experienced immigration lawyer on your side. Complying with U.S. immigration law requires strict adherence to deadlines and careful completion and submission of a number of forms. In even the most routine cases, skilled immigration lawyers in Orange County can help prevent snafus like missed deadlines, incomplete forms, or unpaid fees.
In more complicated cases, such as when you have a minor criminal violation in your past or unintentionally missed a USCIS deadline, you need an immigration attorney to craft and shape your argument and presentation to USCIS from the very beginning to decrease the likelihood of an unfavorable decision. And of course, when facing removal—deportation—you want as much help as you can get to protect your U.S. residency, family, and job.
