What Is the Difference Between an Immigrant Petition and a Non-immigrant Petition?
A noncitizen can enter the United States with either an immigrant or a nonimmigrant status, depending on their situation. An immigrant petition is a part of obtaining an immigrant visa, such as when a U.S. Citizen initiates a petition to bring their foreign-born parents to the USA as lawful permanent residents.
A nonimmigrant petition is a part of applying for a nonimmigrant visa, such as a tourist visa. A nonimmigrant can remain in the country for a definite period and may have certain restrictions on the type of activities they may engage in – for example, an individual with a tourist visa may not work, study or conduct business while visiting the USA.
What Will Happen at My First Consultation With an Immigration Lawyer?
Many worry about what to expect during their first consultation with an immigration lawyer, especially when their immigration status is not regularized. The first thing to know is that an immigration lawyer is on your side, and any information you share cannot be shared with anyone else, thanks to the attorney-client privilege.
Second, the interview lets you understand how the attorney plans to approach your case, possible costs, and whether you and your attorney would be a good fit to work together. Bring as much information and documents relevant to your case as possible. Use this time to ask many questions about your case and the attorney’s experience handling similar cases. Our firm offers an initial consultation so you can get to know us and receive answers to your immigration questions.

Why Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer for My Case?
Simply put, immigration law is no walk in the park. It is complex and full of details and exceptions. Even the most straightforward cases require many forms and supporting documents before you can submit it to the USCIS. This often proves to be more than any applicant is willing to handle.
An immigration lawyer has the legal knowledge and experience to point you in the right direction, help you understand what is required of you at every step, and even represent you in more complex situations, such as Immigration Court hearings. By working with an immigration attorney, you can feel less overwhelmed knowing you will be magnifying your chances of receiving a favorable decision from the USCIS.
