Can I do it myself?

There is a multitude of correct and incorrect information and, perhaps potentially most daminging, incomplete information available on the Internet pertaining to U.S. immigration laws and procedures. There are many people who attempt to apply for non-immigrant and immigrant visas, as well as U.S. Citizenship on behalf of foreign born individuals with forms they obtained from the US Immigration Services, (USCIS).  Such individuals are often referred to as “Notarios” or “Immigration Consultants”.  They are not licensed attorneys and are therefore in many instances not held accountable by the state bar of California for any mistakes they happen to commit with your case.

The San Jose Immigration Law Firm of Muston & Jack, PC cautions: US immigration is a very complicated area of law with procedures that often change

It is often that people who file on their own behalf make mistakes on employment or family-based visa petitions that could have easily been prevented in the first instance if the petition were prepared by an attorney. Over the years, there have been sudden changes in Application fees, filing procedures, as well as the required locations for various filings. It is often challenging for even the most well trained legal professionals to keep themselves abreast of such changes.  At Muston & Jack, PC we pride ourselves in keeping up to date with any and all changes in immigration laws and procedures. In fact, at the San Jose Immigration Law firm of Muston & Jack, PC, immigration is all we do.

Avoid Visa Delays Prevent Deportation

In retaining the services of a trained legal professional whose focus is exclusively in U.S. Immigration Law, one will increase his chances of avoiding unnecessary delays as well as the potential of removal from the US.  At Muston & Jack, PC you will have confidence that your immigrant or nonimmigrant petition was prepared properly the first time and that all requirements have been met.
