The importance of a legal representative

U.S. immigration law is very complex. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek professional help for your immigration procedures. Before hiring an immigration service provider, it is important to verify their credentials.

If an attorney, ask to see his or her current license. Write down the license information and contact the state bar admissions office of the state where the attorney is licensed to verify that it is authentic.

In the case of an authorized representative, the person must work for an organization that is authorized by the Board of Immigration Appeals to provide legal advice. Ask him or her to show you the board order that allows him or her to help people with immigration applications or petitions. Write down the information to verify its accuracy.

It is very important to emphasize that in the United States a notary public is not an attorney and therefore is not licensed to practice immigration law. So please do not go to notary publics to do your immigration paperwork.

Follow these tips and you will soon achieve the American dream!
