Here's why you need an Immigration lawyer

Why do I need an immigration lawyer?
Immigration laws and regulations are very complex and constantly changing. An immigration lawyer will help you understand visa requirements, conditions and other regulations that may apply to your visa. Immigration lawyers can advice you on the best visa options, help you create a migration strategy, design a pathway for you to get permanent residency in the shortest possible time and then assist you in making the visa application.
What can an Immigration lawyer help me with?
An immigration lawyer can provide complete guidance on any immigration matter including but not limited to:
-
Visa applications: you will receive expert guidance on visa eligibility, making your application and then managing that application until an outcome is granted.
-
Immigration status: Immigration lawyers help you resolve your immigration status in instances when you are on protection or refugee visas
-
Permanent residency: Your personal background will be taken into account and a detailed plan will be prepared to ensure that you receive the best strategy to apply for permanent residency.

Risks of not hiring an immigration lawyer
Because of the complexity of the migration process, there is always the possibility that you may miss or omit certain important factors that need to be considered when making your application. Without the help of an immigration lawyer, you could miss an important deadline, fail to include critical information, or provide incorrect information that can result in a denial of your application. In some cases, a mistake can even result in deportation or other legal consequences.
Costs of working with an immigration lawyer
Immigration lawyers would often charge you hourly rates and flat fees for the services provided. Hourly fees are charged according to the time spent by them to complete your work while flat fee rates are often decided based on the scope of work required according to the circumstances of your case.
