Choosing a immigration lawyer
Check that the person advising you is a licensed lawyer or an accredited representative; immigration fraud by unlicensed consultants is common. Ask about recent experience with your specific visa category and the expected processing timeline.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer for a visa application?
Not always, but a lawyer can reduce the risk of refusal in complex cases such as prior refusals, criminal history or employer sponsorship.
What is a "notario" and why should I be careful?
In some countries a notary is a lawyer, but in others notaries are not authorised to give immigration advice. Always verify a licence.
