The Importance of Consulting US Lawyers for Visa

To secure a visa, it is best and vital to consult a US lawyer with valid credentials and membership of the Bar Association, and who is also specializing in immigration law.

This is because the US immigration law is full of intricacies and nuances, so that only a US lawyer who has correct knowledge of these laws can handle visa matters effectively for a client.

The US lawyers come under the code of ethics of the Bar association while those who are not lawyers but offer visa services to clients are not governed by any such ethics. So the clients are at a greater risk when availing the services of such people to procure a visa.

Thirdly, US immigration laws state that an attorney who has license to practice in minimum one US state can handle visa matters for clients and advise them. These lawyers alone can handle even the smallest visa issues like counseling a client on which forms to fill. Thus all the non-attorneys who are offering visa related services are infact violating the law.

However non profit organizations who take nominal fees for visa related services offered to stateless people are functioning in accordance with the law, because the law permits them to do so.
