About US Visas
Does everyone need an immigration lawyer to go to the US? Of course not. While hiring an immigration attorney may help speed things along because of the lawyer’s familiarity with forms, processes, or procedures, it won’t necessarily affect your eligibility or the US government’s treatment of your situation. In fact, both USCIS and the State Department maintain many helpful web resources to guide you through the maze of immigration and visa processing. Below, is a sampling.
