Immigration Lawyer
An immigration lawyer is someone who defends a foreign national who has been placed into removal or deportation proceedings in a United States immigration court. An immigration lawyer also aids foreign nationals in securing immigration benefits in the United States. An immigration lawyer can help clients apply for a fiance visa, marriage visa or other type of green card, an immigration waiver, a non-immigrant visa and citizenship or naturalization. A United States immigration lawyer can practice federal immigration law throughout the United States and often represents clients from around the world.
