Having an immigration attorney isn’t going to be a magic solution to make your immigration case go faster. We’ve all seen lawyer TV shows and they have some magic solution that just speeds things up but that’s not real life.

Having an immigration attorney can help make your case go faster in the sense that an experienced immigration attorney will bring efficiency to the process. There are three main ways that having an immigration attorney on your side will help your case move faster.

1. You won’t have to teach yourself immigration.

You will be able to save yourself time by not spending your time teaching yourself how to do the immigration process. In that sense, having an experienced attorney will help you.

2. Avoid common pitfalls.

A lot of individuals who have done the process on their own might miss something that seemed like a small nuance that wouldn’t cause a problem but got a request for evidence from immigration and it caused additional delays. Being able to avoid those common pitfalls is the second way that having an experienced attorney can help speed up your case.

3. You can be proactive.

The other thing an experienced immigration attorney can do is they can help you to be proactive. Here at Immigration for Couples, we’ve helped thousands of couples navigate the process.

Those are just three of the ways that having an experienced immigration attorney can help speed up your immigration case.
