FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION
You ask? We answer
Not legally required for every process, but strongly recommended — immigration law is complex and unforgiving of small errors, and a mistake on a form or missed deadline can cause significant delays or denials.
It varies widely depending on the category — some employment or family-based cases take under a year, while others (especially those subject to annual visa caps) can take several years due to backlogs.
A visa allows temporary entry or stay in the U.S. for a specific purpose (work, study, tourism); a green card grants lawful permanent residency, allowing you to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
Potentially, yes — even some misdemeanors can trigger immigration consequences depending on the offense and your immigration status, which is why non-citizens facing any criminal charge should consult both a criminal and immigration attorney.
Staying past your authorized period (falling "out of status") can affect future visa o
r green card eligibility and may lead to removal proceedings. It's important to address an
expiring visa well before the deadline.
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain family members through a family-based petition, though eligible relationship categories, wait times, and requirements vary significantly depending on your status and the relative's country of origin.
Asylum is protection for people already in the U.S. who fear persecution in their home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership. Applications generally must be filed within one year of arrival, with some exceptions.
Yes — anyone, regardless of immigration status, has the right to hire an attorney for immigration matters (though not a government-appointed one in immigration court, unlike criminal court). LawCo can help connect you with an immigration attorney to review your options.
Costs vary by case type — straightforward petitions might run $1,500–$5,000 in attorney fees, while complex cases (deportation defense, asylum) can cost more, often billed as flat fees per stage of the process.
Naturalization is the legal process by which a non-citizen becomes a U.S. citizen after meeting requirements (permanent residency time, residency, language/civics tests); citizenship is the status itself once that process is complete.
