Why do I Need an Immigration Attorney?

March 9, 2011 By Tom Jr.

Why do I Need an Immigration Attorney?

You need to know your immigration rights under the Immigration and Nationality Act. An application for immigration benefits, before United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, requires the application of specific facts to the immigration law. Failure to follow the requirements of USCIS and the immigration and nationality act will lead to a denial of any and all benefits and possibly a referral to the immigration court. Immigration court (i.e. deportation hearing) is a full-fledged court room with a judge, prosecutors, evidence, and witnesses. If you lose your case, the penalty is great: banishment from the United States, separation from your family, and perhaps even death in your country of origin. The seriousness of immigration issues is why Geygan and Geygan, Ltd. represent people like you and your loved ones.

The cost of failure

You need an immigration attorney because of the seriousness of the immigration process as mentioned immediately above: If you lose your case, the penalty is great: banishment from the United States, separation from your family, and perhaps even death in your country of origin.

Extensive misinformation

Websites for immigration consultants and for governmental agencies themselves are often plagued with misinformation or a lack of thorough information.

Governmental agencies are enforcement agencies. They are trying to keep people like you and your family out of the United States, not help them get in.

Workers are not adequately trained in immigration law and its ongoing developments.

Your case is different from any other person’s case and workers do not have the ability to distinguish the facts necessary to help you.

Workers are not held liable for giving misinformation. There is no incentive to help you or to provide accurate up to date information.

What an immigration lawyer does

The immigration lawyer, legally and ethically, represents your best interests throughout the immigration process.

Your lawyer will:

· Offer you an initial consultation and case analysis

· Explain your legal options

· Keep all of your personal information private

· Prepare your case

· Take care of all of the paperwork so you don’t have to

· Attend all meetings with you

· Represent you in court

· Explain to the government how you meet the immigration requirements

· Represent you if problems arise and file any necessary appeals

Your right to an attorney

You have the right to be represented by an attorney in all immigration proceedings. However, the government does not pay for your attorney. In other words, while you have a right to an attorney, you must pay for attorney services.

When you call Geygan and Geygan, Ltd., your initial consultation is free.

Haitians in U.S. Brace for Deportations to Resume

December 20, 2010 By Tom Jr.

Haitians in U.S. Brace for Deportations to Resume
"The Obama administration has been quietly moving to resume deportations of Haitians for the first time since the earthquake last January. But in New York’s Haitian diaspora, the reaction has been far from muted, including frustration and fear among immigrants and anger from their advocates, who say that an influx of deportees will only add to the country’s woes." NYT, Dec. 19, 2010.
