Lakewood Immigration Attorneys

If you have an immigration need, chances are you already are or will soon be dealing with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). U.S. immigration is known to be paperwork heavy and very slow in its processes. So much so that nearly everyone who goes through the process says it is frustrating and often daunting. At Joseph & Hall P.C., we have experienced immigration attorneys who help clients in Lakewood to navigate this complex U.S. immigration system more easily.

Why You Should Hire an Immigration Lawyer

If you have an immigration need or issue, you have probably wondered whether you need an immigration lawyer to help you. The answer is yes and no—but mostly yes. There are simple situations in which one can use Internet search engines such as Google and find self-help solutions to apply for an immigration benefit. 

However, even a simple or straightforward situation can quickly get complicated and result in denials of an application or petition for reasons an experienced immigration lawyer could have identified and addressed to avoid denial of the application or petition. This is one of the many reasons why having an experienced immigration lawyer makes a lot of sense and can save you headaches down the road.

At Joseph & Hall P.C., we have an excellent team of immigration lawyers who routinely and successfully handle a variety of both simple and complex immigration cases. We have been doing this for a long time; therefore, you can count on our experience to find a solution to your situation. Some of the cases we handle include naturalization, citizenship, deportation defense and appeals, asylum, VAWA, DACA, green cards, and visa processing at U.S. consulates. 

What a Lakewood Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You

There are several things an experienced Lakewood immigration attorney can do for you, including the following:

• Intake. The immigration process often starts with you filing an application or petition with the USCIS or another government agency involved in the immigration process. Before filing your application or petition, it is important to first understand your situation fully. We do this by having you come in for an initial consultation. During this time, we obtain all relevant information and documents about your individual situation. 
• Document Preparation. After obtaining all the relevant information and documents from you, we have come up with a plan to obtain the benefit you seek or to address your immigration issue. We then prepare and file the necessary paperwork with USCIS. We make sure that the paperwork we file is complete and accurate, as this is often the reason many applications or petitions are rejected or denied. 
• Interview Preparation. In some cases, you may be asked to attend an in-person interview by a USCIS immigration officer. Should this be the case, we will prepare you for the interview. This is important because it is best to go into an interview knowing what to expect and being prepared for how to handle the interview. Doing the opposite can lead to surprises and even unnecessary denial of your application or petition.
