Barnesville, GA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

An immigration lawyer can help to put together an application and perhaps add in details or evidence which is not in a prior application. If a consular officer made a mistake of law, an immigration lawyer could also point that out. But where individuals are denied for visitors visas based on the consular officer's perception that the applicant may remain in the US instead of returning to the home country and there is no strong evidence to the contrary, an immigration lawyer is not a miracle worker. These types of determinations are non-appealable and perhaps the better solution would be to wait until the individual has enough bonds and ties in the home country to convince a consular officer to grant a visiting visa.

Generally a Permanent Resident's divorce will not impact his/her eligibility for naturalization, although (1) he/she will need to wait 5 years rather than 3 years after becoming a Permanent Resident to become eligible for naturalization; and (2) depending upon such circumstances as whether the Permanent Resident attained that status through marriage and whether the divorce took place fairly soon after becoming a Permanent Resident, the naturalization applicant may need to be prepared to provide satisfactory evidence of the bona fide nature of the marriage notwithstanding that it ended in divorce.
