Few people can admit that they have weaknesses in their case. No one wants to think that they may have a marriage that the government will view as suspect. I cannot count the number of times a client has said, "I have done nothing wrong, and I have nothing to hide." While I usually agree - that is simply not the question. The question is, "Can I translate my marriage story into hard, cold documents to prove to a suspicious immigration officer that my marriage was a real marriage?" A lawyer's job is not so much to fill out the forms, but to make sure his particular client's story is told to the officer.
If you are not familiar with buying property in Spain, it's a good idea to hire an abogado (lawyer) to help you navigate the deal. Again, as obvious as this sounds, be sure the lawyer speaks English (unless you are fluent in Spanish). While it's not absolutely necessary to have a lawyer, it can help you to avoid possible pitfalls of buying property in a foreign country. You want to make sure you understand all the taxes you may be liable for. Also, you want to be sure that any property you purchase is completely legal and cannot be seized from you at a later date. A lawyer can help you prevent this sort of nightmare from happening.
You can also check by visiting the USCIS on site. You may want to consider this option if your application doesn't seem to be moving very fast or if your application cannot be found or your case number is not recognized. InfoPass allows applicants to have a conversation with an Immigration officer at USCIS. When a visit is requested, an appointment will be scheduled with an officer. The officer has the ability to verify information, run a background check, do an FBI type check and go more in depth when it comes to verifying your information.
If you have a foreign spouse, a K-3 visa allows that person to come to the U.S. to be with you while he or she applies for permanent residency. Again, the petitioner must be a U.S. citizen. If your marriage occurred outside of the United States, you must apply for the K-3 visa from the U.S. consulate in the same nation where your marriage occurred.
Sometimes you are just having a vacation and then you are notified by the CIS for a certain problem. Your immediate recourse should be to call an personal bankruptcy attorneys in california near me. If you are facing an immigration case, it's best to have a qualified legal representative as your defense.
The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer is also a consideration. It is important that you choose a firm and a professional who is not out to make extra money on those who do not realize that the price is too high. Before hiring a professional, you would be wise to shop around. Make sure that the places that you are considering charge an average fee.
