People across the world relocate to America to start a brand new life. Their home countries may not offer freedom and the safety that they desire for their own families. However, the whole process of becoming a legal immigrant often proves complicated and hard for all those people, particularly if they are not familiar with English. Therefore, some may hire an Arizona visa attorney to help them navigate the paperwork required to acquire legal residency.

In reality, immigration lawyers are well-versed in many laws and conditions surrounding residency within this country. What may seem like an easy case with an immigrant might actually become a legal nightmare the immigrant just isn’t equipped to manage. When judges need evidence of the person’s identity or proof that the individual is related to others in this country, a visa legal representative often can contact the appropriate authorities from the client’s native country and secure the documents necessary to move the immigration case forward.

When folks are suspected of entering the USA illegally, immigration lawyers may be called upon to assist these people to prove that they have the right to remain in the borders. Quite a few people are eager to stay in the US and in most cases take risks to cross the border. They will often need to join members of the family and friends which are already here. Instead of be deported for illegal entry, an attorney might be able to persuade a judge so they can stay.

Similarly, the USA often grants political asylum to refugees who flee violence within their native countries. An immigration law firm can assist a refugee articulate his / her need to be in the U.S. knowning that going back to the native country could mean death or hardship for the person. Many judges in this country are lenient and understanding in such a matter; however, they need reliable proof that immigrants are being truthful and not working the system to get citizenship.

After folks have been granted residency, the next step many choose to take is to try to gain citizenship to be an American. An Arizona immigration lawyer offers the necessary application for citizenship and direct individuals to resources which can help them learn English, study American history, and have the abilities needed to be a successfully integrated American citizen. After they finish this process, they are able to take the oath of citizenship and be Americans.

Border Safety Measures by Stopping People from Departing America?

Just recently I overheard some of my immigration lawyer colleagues talking about reports that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) police officers are preventing people wanting to leave the US through the Nogales Port of Entry. Related reports have come from other crossing areas.

Considering all the recent hue and cry regarding “too many immigrants within the U.S.,” it seems odd that CBP could truly interfere with those that planned to leave. A number of the individuals stopped were actually going to visa consultations at the United States Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to acquire appropriate, legal paperwork and come back “the correct way.”

The concern was raised, “How does complicating the life of individuals aiming to abide by the law by leaving America improve our security?”

As unusual as it may seem, this ‘new’ policy may well be an off-shoot of one of the better strategies in the “border enforcement” procedure for countrywide security

In contrast, rounding up and deporting a couple of hundred or possibly a few million undocumented individuals is certainly counter-productive. It simply boosts the demand for, along with the sales from, the cartels’ services. Not to mention shooting our very own economy in the foot by depriving it of necessary workers, need for products or services, tax proceeds, etc.

Besides comprehensive immigration reform (that would eliminate demand for illegal ‘underground’ options of entrance), cutting off the benefits and decreasing the firepower of the human and drug smuggling cartels might be one of the more effective ways to keep the U.S. safe from a “threat.”

For this reason “complicating the lifestyles of people attempting to adhere to the law” [by leaving the U.S.] is certainly part of a rational immigration policy.

Unfortunately, CBP’s effectiveness with this “outbound interdiction” role will likely be considerably reduced, if they don’t discover how to do it without terrorizing or alienating the overall society of migrants and other travelers. Imagine the influence on correct “border security,” if all individuals could look at CBP as “the good guys, trying to keep us all secure, from the true bad guys.”
