Immigration Attorney – Things You Need To Prepare Before You Meet With Them

One of the first things that you must understand before meeting with a immigration attorney is that

he/she will be able to help you only if you too are willing to take the necessary steps and be a part of the

entire process. The US immigration law calls for an active involvement of the immigrant/defendant and as

such, you will need to be prepared for a variety of things coming your way during the course of the

proceedings, What is more, you will need to ensure that your attorney will well supplied with all the

resources he needs to make a successful case in your favour. This article lists out the things you need to

have ready before you meet with an immigration attorney for your application.

Your attorney will have sent you an initial questionnaire which will list out the documents that you

will need to carry along with you. Make sure you fill these answers carefully and collect all the

papers indicated as part of this recommendation from your attorney.

Write down events or dates that are important for you, include as many facts as you remember and

also the names of witnesses.

Put in some extra research into the immigration process just so that you fully understand what you

are getting into. This step will also help you in discovering any special regulations/conditions that

may be applicable to you so that you can communicate them to your attorney well in advance.

Keep the copies of all the important documents, such as visa applications, your birth certificate, and

a letter from the US citizenship and immigration services.

I would also recommend that you arrange for someone to accompany you while you are visiting the

immigration attorney, just to relieve some of your apprehensions and ensure that both you and your

attorney understand things in detail. All the best with your application!
