3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Make Immigration Petitions Alone
Even though the cost of hiring immigration attorneys looks daunting, it does not compare with the cost of being deported when you fill out the wrong paperwork. At least, with the help of the attorney, you know you will fill out the correct form for your situation. Here are a few other reasons why you should not attempt to fill out this form by yourself.
You May Not Understand American Laws and Customs
Even though you want to emigrate to the US, you probably do not know enough about its laws and customs. There is a lot to learn, and you do not want to learn it in the most difficult way possible. That said, the immigration laws here have become more restrictive in recent years, and you must fill out the correct forms the first time you apply or you may be deported and have difficulty re-entering the country again. At the very least, you may have trouble with your student or work visa, and that often results in deportation or detainment in an immigration holding facility.
You Will Need Help Selecting the Correct One
There are immigration petitions for relatives you want to help bring into the country, for work visas, for student visas, for a stay of deportation, for illegal aliens who have given birth to children on American soil, for asylum from war-torn countries, and the list goes on. You could be sifting through all of these forms online and not really understand which one applies to you. Additionally, if more than one of these situations applies to you, you would not know which form takes legal precedence over another. You will need help selecting the correct form, which is the form that will prioritize yours and your application to come into the US ahead of other forms, petitions and applications.
Many of the Forms, Applications & Petitions Are in Spanish & English Only
If you speak and read any other language besides Spanish or English, you may be at a loss. Even though you may read or speak some English, it may not be enough to understand what the immigration petition is asking of you. If you hire an immigration attorney, you can get an interpreter in your own language who can fully explain the forms better, or you can get forms from your lawyer that are printed in your native language.
