Visa Application Tips And Supported Help

The visa application process is a long and tedious one. It is important that you do what you can to make sure the process is as seamless as can be. Here are a few tips to follow to keep the immigration process move along smoothly.

Be Prepared for Delays

The visa and Immigrations Services are very backed up. To guarantee that you have a Visa by the time you need one submit your application far in advance. If you are currently in another country and your legal status is going to expire, getting your application in as soon as possible is very important to avoid any adverse legal action being taken against you.

Avoid Summary Removal

The border officials have a lot of power. They can send you back overseas if they feel as though you are a security risk or if they feel as though you have lied to get the visa. When arriving from overseas you need to be prepared to convince these officials that you deserve your visa. If you are coming as a tourist and not intending on seeking citizenship avoid bringing anything with you that gives the impression you could be staying such as a wedding dress, job resume and so on.

File Multiple Visa Petitions

If you are getting a green card through a family member and you have more than one family member that is eligible to submit the petition for you, have each one submit a petition for you. This way, if there is a long wait in one category or should the person that submitted it for you die you have another option.

Pay Attention to Deadlines

Make sure that you are on time for any appointment you have with any country embassy or consulate or the Immigration court. If you are late or simply don’t show up it could be months before you are rescheduled or you may possibly be deported.

Avoid Violations

Read the small print associated with your visa and make sure you follow the rules carefully. Should you violate even the minor terms your visa can be canceled or you can be deported.

Keep Track and Make Copies

Unfortunately, infamous for losing paperwork. Make sure you send all your applications and paperwork via certified mail, with a return receipt, and make copies of everything. This will not only be your proof of filing but may end up being the main copies that are filed should the USCIS lose your originals.
