Why Us?

(Or What is a Good Immigration Attorney Worth?)

Comedian Rodney Dangerfield must have been thinking about immigration attorneys when he quipped “We get no respect!” Many people (and even some other attorneys) think that an immigration attorney just “fills out a standard paperwork form for 45 minutes” and mails it to the U.S. Government.

Actually, an effective and experienced immigration attorney does a lot more than just “paperwork”. He counsels a client about immigration options. He formulates a strategic plan to secure a visa or benefit. He prepares and files legal petitions and supporting exhibits. He avoids common and often costly and delay-causing mistakes in the process. He provides on-going case status information. He answers a myriad of legal questions from the client throughout the case and afterwards. And he resolves any problems or issues in case processing with the Immigration Office and U.S. Consulate.

In short, an IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY offers QUALIFIED LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR THE CLIENT from start to finish until the visa or benefit is finally achieved. Furthermore, the reputations of many experienced immigration attorneys, such as ours, are well-known to various Immigration Officials and Consular Officers. This greatly benefits the client’s petition by reinforcing to government officials that the case is well-prepared, meritorious and deserving of approval as rapidly as allowable.

USCIS (then INS) spokesperson Karen Kraushaar remarked to the Washington Post on April 24, 2001: “Immigration is a mystery and a mastery of obfuscation, and THE LAWYERS WHO CAN FIGURE IT OUT ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.”
