How Can Immigration Attorneys Help You in Your Case?
Immigration law is a very complex subject matter. Every case is different, and the wrong advice, misinformation, or carelessness could hurt. Your application is everything. There is very little room to make mistakes throughout the immigration application process. From the lengthy paperwork to your interview, an Immigration Attorney can ensure you are in the best possible position for success. It takes a skilled and experienced professional to successfully navigate an immigration case. However, obtaining an Immigration Attorney to help you achieve your immigration goal is not the only reason you may seek to hire an attorney. For instance, someone may be facing deportation, or have already been deported and would like to return. Others may have a criminal conviction being held against them which can lead to removal proceedings. In such cases, it is extremely important to have an Immigration Attorney by your side to ensure and protect you of your rights, the best way to approach your specific situation, and most importantly, try to help you get the outcome you seek. Let’s take a deeper dive into some of the areas an Immigration Attorney can help you with in your case: Paperwork and Application Drafting There is an extensive amount of paperwork that is required in regards to any immigration concern, whether you are applying for a Green Card, seeking Asylum, requesting Employment Authorization, etc.. An Immigration Attorney will help you correctly complete these forms as well as file them in a timely manner, which will make sure you do not make any mistakes or miss any deadlines. Doing so can help avoid the risks of having your requests delayed or denied, and in some cases, even speed things up. Understand the Legal Language The language of the law - commonly called by attorneys “legalese” - is one of the hardest subject matters to understand. Immigration Attorneys have specifically been trained to read, digest, and analyze the legal language. Many people struggle with what they are looking at, what certain terms mean, and what may or may not apply to their fact pattern. An Immigration Attorney will help you understand exactly what law and policy applies to your case. Prepare and Stay Protected Whatever your immigration situation is, the entire process can be overwhelming. You may not know where to start, how to go about everything, what to fill out, etc. That is where an Immigration Attorney will come into play and help you be prepared and protected. Your attorney will tell you what to expect, how to cope with your situation, break down the procedures related to your case, and inform you of your rights. Your attorney will educate you and create an action plan for you to know how to appropriately respond to a situation (i.e. arrest or search). Court Proceedings If you are facing court proceedings, you have a higher chance of getting a successful outcome if you retain an Immigration Attorney. Stakes are high in removal proceedings. You are more likely to get relief from deportation, stay with your family, avoid punishment, and essentially win your case. If you have limited language proficiency and find it difficult to understand the U.S. immigration system, it is best to have an Immigration Attorney represent you against federal agencies.

"My wife and I are very thankful for Micheal Ibrahim. Before we hired him, we approached many immigration lawyers over ten years to duplicate documents that were destroyed in a fire. The results were disappointing. Micheal was able to find the lost documents. My wife got her permanent residency. He was always available for us during a stressful time. We would like to thank Michael for his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise. We would definitely recommend Michael for immigration services." -Farzad D.
