When Should I Hire a First-rate Immigration Attorney?

Certain cases absolutely scream out for help by an experienced immigration attorney such as Immigration Lawyer Elizabeth R. Blandon, Esq in Weston. These difficult immigration related cases include:

• Suing the CIS for non-performance (Form N-400 & Form I-751)
• Proving the money / funds was legally obtained and is at risk for Residency Based on Investment
• and preparing foreign nationals for proper immigration court appearance.

To retain inexperienced immigration attorney is a surefire way to learn the meaning of the old adage “You get what you pay for.” This article discusses how the expert immigration company Blandon Law can help with lawsuits against the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS), legal permanent residency based on investment, and removal defense.

Suing Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) for Delays.
Foreign nationals are not helpless against CIS. There are laws that protect them from unreasonable delays by government agencies. CIS should be sued if the agency takes:

• More than 120 days to process a naturalization application (Form N-400) after the interview or
• More than one year after receiving the application to remove the conditions on residency (Form I-751)

These lawsuits against CIS are filed in federal court. Because writing is emphasized and oral argument is not, experienced attorneys will be of greatest help to get the process moving swiftly. Immigration attorney Elizabeth R. Blandon, Esq helped a client who had been waiting for almost three years after filing to become a US citizen through naturalization. After filing the lawsuit, CIS sent a notice for a new naturalization interview, which was approved, within two months.

Residency Based on Investment
Residency Based on Investment requires a great deal of evidence to prove that a foreign national obtained the monies through lawful methods and will be placing the necessary funds at risk. A competent immigration attorney will meet these obstacles by being well versed in business, tax and immigration issues. Immigration attorney Elizabeth R. Blandon, Esq has extensive contacts to assist in proving a foreign national obtained the monies through lawful methods and the funds are at risk, thereby benefiting the foreign national.

Usually the investment must be at least $1 million dollars. However, where the enterprise is in a targeted zone (either because it is a high unemployment or rural area), the investment can be $500,000.

Representation in Immigration Court
Immigration Court is the last place foreign nationals want to get caught (pun intended) without a great attorney. A pen stroke by a judge will order them removed from the United States, even if they have been legal permanent residents for over a decade. The experienced immigration law firm Blandon Law prepares memorandums of law, organizes the evidence, and explains immigration court procedures thoroughly to their clients. Being represented in court is time-intensive work which, by definition, means expensive. However, because appeal options are limited, foreign nationals are making a good investment in seeking our assistance to prepare them for immigration court appearance correctly.
