While an immigration lawyer may be of assistance with any type of U.S. immigration or visa matter, attorneys are more frequently consulted for some types of cases than others. For example, most people applying for B-2 tourist visas from Western countries in Europe do not use an attorney’s help in applying for their visitor’s visa. On the other hand, many, if not most, applicants for Permanent Residence based on Employment (I-140), H-1B Temporary Worker Status (I-129) work permits or other types of employment, family, or business sponsored immigration categories do use an attorney’s help.

Anyone involved in an immigration case involving possible deportation, or unauthorized employment, or serious violation of immigration rules is wise to seek the help of an immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

Since there are more than 200 different types of immigration and visa cases, and each type of case has its own technical eligibility requirements, it is often difficult to choose which immigration option is best to pursue in each case. Intelligent decision-making is also made difficult because the rules and the processing times and procedures are subject to frequent changes. Often there will be several alternative options. Our attorneys can provide very helpful advice in choosing the most appropriate way to proceed with a case.

Most people seeking advice on immigration options available under U.S. laws will benefit from a personal consultation with an attorney from J. Scott Nooney & Associates before filing their immigration or visa application.
