An Atlanta Immigration attorney is different from a typical attorney that might be involved in a criminal or civil lawsuit. While we will go to any lengths our clients need, including representing our clients in court during immigration-related hearings, much of our time is spent ensuring that all documentation is completed and recorded properly rather than preparing for trial.
Specifically, an Atlanta immigration attorney will provide guidance throughout the process of immigration to become a citizen or to receive various other legally recognized statuses in the U.S., including for a visa, green card, work permits, family petitions and more.
An Atlanta immigration attorney will provide support and counsel by outlining how the process works, helping you answer key questions, responding to official inquiries or notices, filling out legal documents, and determining the best options based on your citizenship goals. Much of your Atlanta immigration attorney’s time is spent acting as an official liaison between clients and federal agencies overseeing the immigration processes.
Those seeking immigration to the United States are required to follow a lengthy and often complicated process involving at least the following:
Visas - typically obtained during a stay in the U.S. for work or pleasure, or while seeking citizenship or another residency status.
Green cards - sought by adults seeking permanent residency to work and/or live in the United States, sometimes before becoming a full citizen.
Full citizenship requests.
Several of the dozens of specialized forms issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and used for everything from a request for expedited processing to a request for a fee schedule of all required immigration forms.
