Legal Representation

Legal representation in immigration procedures is strongly recommended because having an attorney is associated with successful immigration outcomes.

Motions

• A motion to reopen is when there are new facts that were not discovered at the hearing or at the time the decision was made.

• A motion to reconsider is when the person argues that the government didn't apply the facts of the case correctly.

Visas

A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport, a travel document issued by the traveler’s country of citizenship.
