Immigration: Understanding and Getting help with the Immigration Process

Immigrating to the United States can be a long and complicated process. For many the process appears so daunting  they are too afraid to get the process started. It is true, the process of obtaining legal status in the United States can be complicated and difficult. But as with most things, a little education and preparation make even the most daunting and difficult tasks manageable. With understanding and the right tools, the immigration process can be easily managed and you can get the result you desire.

There are many free resources where you can go to learn about the immigration process, like U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, the official page of the Department of Homeland Security dedicated to citizenship and immigration. Once you get a little understanding, it is important to get the right kind of help with the process. Using the wrong kind of help can cost you more than just money, but cost you the chance of successfully completing and obtaining the immigration status you desire.

Immigration law is one of the most complex areas of law in the legal field. Only a licensed attorney is legally authorized to help you green card applications and other immigration cases. Unlike not notarios or other consultants, an experienced and licensed immigration lawyer has gone through extensive education and training to help you. In fact, it is against the law for notaries public and other consultants to provide immigration advice. Even if they just the filling out of forms or green card applications should be done by a licensed immigration lawyer.

DON'T BE FOOLED, immigration is a complex process. Notarios and former employees of attorneys are not attorneys and are not qualified to give legal advice. By using their services you are putting yourself at risk of being deported.
