Employers - Is your company in I-9 Compliance?There has been a lot of negative press lately about employers being raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for hiring violations. Whether you hire U.S. citizens or alien workers, all employers are required to complete Employment Eligibility Verification Forms (Form I-9) and maintain these documents for a certain period of time. Failure to properly complete or maintain Form I-9 for each employee may lead to substantial fines and a sudden decrease in work force. read more... When do I need an Immigration Lawyer?
What can an immigration lawyer do for me?An immigration lawyer can help you navigate through the complicated application processes of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). Immigration Law is complex and each situation is unique. In addition to your application, supporting evidence must be presented. In some cases, waivers are required. You may be required to appear for an interview and be questioned at length about your marriage or finances. An immigration lawyer can help you avoid simple mistakes that could cause your US Citizenship to be denied. Completing the process correctly the first time can mean the difference between success and failure. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency charged with interior enforcement of US immigration law, can be intolerant of violations of immigration law even if your mistake was unintentional. Detention and deportation could be the consequences of a failure to file the right application at the right time. If you entered the United States without a visa, have overstayed your visa, or you are a student or exchange visitor who is no longer in status, the ICE may be actively seeking to arrest and deport you. A simple traffic ticket or attempt to renew your driver's license could alert immigration authorities and trigger your arrest. A qualified immigration lawyer can advise you in ways to legalize your status and avoid living in constant fear of deportation. A lawyer can direct you to the best course of action to help you and your family realize the dream of permanent residence. I came to this country as an immigrant and I understand the hopes and dreams of families seeking to find a better way of life. You deserve the same opportunity that I had, and I would like to be the one to guide you to that future. Top |
