Addressing Common Immigration Law Questions With Attorney Shana Velez

October 3, 2024

If you're navigating the U.S. immigration system, you might have many questions about how the process works and whether you need the assistance of an immigration attorney. At Johnson Law Group, we understand the challenges in understanding immigration laws. Shana Velez, our lead immigration attorney at Johnson Law Group, is here to answer your questions and guide you through the complexities of immigration law. Below, she addresses some of our clients' most common immigration-related questions.

Can an immigration attorney really help my case?

Yes, an immigration attorney can significantly improve the outcome of your case. The U.S. immigration system is complex and ever-changing; navigating it alone can be overwhelming. An experienced immigration attorney like those at Johnson Law Group can guide you through the legal process and make it less stressful. Hereโ€™s how we can assist:

  • Understanding Legal Requirements: Immigration laws involve many steps, forms, and regulations. Missing a deadline or providing incorrect information could delay or jeopardize your case. An immigration attorney will ensure your paperwork is accurate, complete, and filed promptly.
  • Developing Legal Strategies: Each immigration case is unique, and having a legal expert on your side ensures that your case receives the attention and strategy it deserves. Whether you're applying for a visa, defending against deportation, or seeking citizenship, an immigration attorney can create a plan tailored to your circumstances.
  • Saving Time and Reducing Stress: Dealing with immigration procedures alone can be time-consuming and confusing. Hiring a professional relieves you of the paperwork burden, giving you the freedom to focus on other areas of your life.

Having a skilled immigration attorney by your side ensures that you take the proper steps for your specific situation and maximize your chances of success.

What are some common reasons people hire immigration attorneys?

Many people hire immigration attorneys to help with various legal matters. Here at Johnson Law Group, we commonly assist clients with the following issues:

  • Renewing Legal Permanent Residence or Green Card: Renewing a green card involves filing specific forms, meeting eligibility requirements, and submitting the correct documentation. Our immigration attorneys can help you renew your green card quickly and without issues.
  • Applying for a Green Card through Family-Based Sponsorship: Family-based immigration can be a complex and confusing process. We help clients apply for green cards for their relatives, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and assisting with interviews and follow-up documentation.
  • Citizenship Applications: Becoming a U.S. citizen is a significant milestone. We help clients with every step of the process, from determining eligibility to preparing for the civics examination and the final interview. We ensure your citizenship application is thorough and complete, giving you the best chance for success.
  • Deportation Defense: Deportation proceedings are among the most serious immigration matters, and having legal representation is crucial. We ensure that your rights are protected and work to build the strongest possible defense to keep you and your family together.

Hiring an immigration attorney gives peace of mind and allows you to navigate the legal system efficiently and effectively.

I'm worried about the recent changes in U.S. immigration policies. Can you help?

Yes, staying up to date on immigration policies and their impact on residents is part of what we do at Johnson Law Group. U.S. immigration laws and policies frequently change, and working with an attorney who monitors these developments closely is essential. Whether it's new rules affecting green cards, visas, or deportation, weโ€™ll advise you on how these changes may impact you and your family.

As a Colorado immigration attorney, Shana stays informed about new laws and analyzes how they might affect your case. Whether you're concerned about potential policy changes or want to understand how new immigration rules could impact your status, she is here to help. Shana will develop the most effective strategy based on the latest immigration policies and your unique circumstances.

For example, recent changes in how the U.S. government processes specific visa applications have led to longer wait times and more stringent review processes. Having a legal advocate who can guide you through these changes is crucial to avoid setbacks.

How much does an immigration attorney in Colorado cost?

The cost of hiring an immigration attorney varies depending on the complexity of your case. At Johnson Law Group, we offer competitive rates and flexible payment options to ensure that quality legal services are accessible to everyone. Hereโ€™s what you can expect:

  • Initial Consultation: In your initial consultation, we'll review your case and discuss your specific needs. Additionally, we'll provide an estimate of the potential costs based on the type of service you require.
  • Flat Fees for Standard Services: For some routine immigration matters, such as green card renewals or citizenship applications, we may offer flat-rate services so you know upfront how much the legal process will cost.

Ultimately, the initial consultation is the best way to understand the cost structure for your specific case. Our attorneys will be transparent about the pricing and listen to your needs.
