When Do You Need an Immigration Lawyer?

There are numerous situations in which you’ll need an immigration lawyer’s help–or will save yourself a lot of time and frustration by getting it.

You are not required to have a lawyer when applying for an immigrant visa or green card in the United States or overseas. If you have a straightforward case, are clearly eligible for the benefit you seek and have no record of crimes or negative run-ins with immigration authorities, you can potentially proceed all the way to a visa or green card without a lawyer.

In fact, if you are overseas, lawyers cannot attend consular interviews with you, though they are allowed to prepare the paperwork and have follow-up communications with the consulates. However, there are numerous situations in which you’ll need a lawyer’s help—or will save yourself a lot of time and frustration by getting it. Immigration law is notoriously, insanely complicated, and it’s run by a bureaucracy that receives less oversight and public scrutiny than you might expect.
