Frisco Immigration Attorney

Why Do I Need to Hire an Immigration Lawyer? 

We often receive phone calls from potential clients asking the following question:  Why do I need to work with an immigration attorney? Why can’t I do it myself?  There are two easy answers to those questions. First and foremost, you get what you pay for.  And second, an attorney’s time, knowledge, and expertise are what they have to offer to a client. Clients often feel confident in their ability to file immigration forms themselves but are disillusioned once they start reading the complex language and strict requirements mandated by USCIS. 

Anyone that’s gone through the process will tell you that navigating the arena of immigration law is not an endeavor you’d want to go through alone. There is an extensive paperwork process that accompanies immigration procedures that even natural-born U.S. citizens would struggle with, let alone immigrants from other countries for whom English is not their first language. 

The truth about U.S. immigration is that many potential immigrants are not clear about what is required of them during the process, and this lack of information becomes a barrier in their ability to legally reside in the country. Don’t let poor or insufficient legal representation be the reason you or your loved ones have to be uprooted from their homes. It’s prudent to obtain the services of an experienced immigration lawyer to navigate the U.S. immigration process.

Additionally, immigration clients should be careful when deciding which attorney to trust with their case, their future, and their families’ futures.  All immigration attorneys are not the same.  Some have many years of practice and experience, while others are fairly new to the law.  Some have expertise in certain areas of immigration law that other immigration attorneys simply don’t have.  Just as no two clients are the same, no two immigration lawyers are the same. The immigration lawyers of the Kazi Law Firm, PLLC are privileged and proud to be serving Frisco, Texas and our neighboring states. 

Let’s delve deeper into the benefits of hiring an experienced immigration lawyer to handle your case. 

Advantages of Enlisting the Services of an Immigration Attorney:

• Immigration Lawyers Avoid Mistakes

Filing the correct paperwork is a crucial part of the processes of acquiring a visa, obtaining legal residence for a loved one in the United States, or finalizing your marriage to an immigrant, among several other procedures. This paperwork is usually extensive and complicated, and without the help of a legal expert, there are numerous opportunities for mistakes that will jeopardize your application. 

An experienced immigration attorney can walk you through the correct steps to apply for work permits, marriage licenses and citizenship, without making mistakes that derail your chance to get these crucial documents authorized by the proper parties.

• Seasoned Professionals with Experience

One of the most invaluable benefits of hiring an immigration lawyer is taking advantage of their years of experience and expertise in dealing with USCIS. Lawyers not only understand the black letter law, but also recognize how to find success for their clients. They are meticulous, detail oriented, and thorough in compiling the evidence, affidavits, and supplemental supporting documents requested by USCIS and rely on years of experience to advise clients for the most optimal results. 

• Immigration Lawyers Can Maneuver the Legal Process Successfully

An experienced immigration lawyer is adept on the procedural maneuvers necessary to reach your goal efficiently and expeditiously. From obtaining a work permit in the United States, acquiring permanent residency or U.S. citizenship, a skilled immigration attorney is a veritable specialist on what you need to make that happen. It’s quite possible that you may be able to navigate the immigration process on your own, but there’s a greater likelihood that you will omit a valuable detail or document, thus squandering your chances of a successful outcome. Often clients come to the firm after their petition has been rejected wondering what could have gone wrong. Why leave your future up to chance?

• Guidance & Counseling

Immigration lawyers are skilled and have the breadth of knowledge to lay out your options in any given scenario. Your attorney will explain the different paths available to you and advise you on the full extent of your circumstances. Whether you’re facing deportation or marriage to a foreign national, your situation is likely sensitive and urgent in nature. Lawyers are essentially guidance counselors illuminating the various routes that you can take in obtaining your goal, efficiently and successfully. At the Kazi Law Firm, PLLC, your Frisco immigration lawyers, are standing by to assist you in your legal journey.  

• Immigration Lawyers Advise Permanent Residents 

Even after obtaining a work visa or permanent U.S. residency, immigrants still have special laws that apply only to them. If you don’t follow these laws during your time in the country, you could be deported before your visa expires or after acquiring permanent resident status. A skilled immigration attorney can help you understand and live within the confines of these laws, so you don’t endanger your status as an immigrant with residency in the United States.

• Can Provide a Path to Citizenship

Most immigrants are working towards pursuing the American dream, U.S. citizenship. A seasoned immigration attorney has made this dream a reality for thousands of immigrants. Further, a veteran lawyer has in-depth knowledge of the blueprint for citizenship and can impart that wisdom on to clients as they move through the multifaceted arena of immigration law. As such, no immigration procedure is easy, and often, there are several convoluted steps to follow. You may feel overwhelmed or out of your depth, especially if English isn’t your first language. Regardless of what you’re trying to achieve, a skilled immigration lawyer can guide you through this intricate process, one step at a time.
