Immigration Attorneys Tip: <\/strong>An expert in immigration law can help you determine what type of visa you are eligible for. Filing incorrectly may result in your application being delayed or refused.2. Be Honest and Accurate in Your Application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Tip<\/strong>: Don\u2019t forget to review all your forms and documents. Give accurate information about where you came from, how you earned your living and who you are. Lying on a travel document can result in bans on being able to go back to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Give Honest and Correct Details on Your Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistakes in your application, papers missing from your file or inconsistencies in your records may result in a RFE or rejection of your application.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Tip:<\/strong> Remember to check twice the forms and documents you submit. Speak honestly when asked about your immigration records, what work you\u2019ve done and your past. Inaccurate information on a travel application may lead to being prevented from entering or reentering the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Be Sure to Know When Priority Tasks and Deadlines Are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date you file adds you to a waiting list depending on which category has queues. You may experience a delay or your application being refused if you fail to attend key biometric appointments or miss interview notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Tip:<\/strong> Carefully watch the Visa Bulletin each month if you\u2019re included in a group with limited annual visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Make sure you get yourself ready for the green card interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is especially important to get ready for an interview when applying for a green card through marriage, because USCIS looks closely at how genuine your relationship is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip from a Lawyer: <\/strong>Look over the entire application before attending your interview. Both you and your spouse or sponsor should try asking and answering some practice questions. Even if you have submitted them before, don\u2019t forget to include all your supporting documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> Avoid breaking the rules of status in the conversation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not having authorization, going past your visa dates or committing violations can hurt your green card process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Tip:<\/strong> Maintain legal status whenever possible. If you fall out of status, consult an immigration lawyer immediately before filing anything with USCIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> Save all Data and Keep Things Neat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize every form or letter sent to USCIS with every response you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lawyer advises you to keep documents in order from newest to oldest. Be sure to attach copies of forms, emails, receipts, RFEs and notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> Find an Immigration Attorney With a Good Reputation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is often an overwhelming experience to become an online teacher. A good immigration lawyer shows you what to expect, answers RFEs for you and is there to represent you during difficult cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Check a lawyer\u2019s credentials before you hire them. Be careful not to work with individuals called visa consultants or notarios who offer legal advice illegally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
