Embarking on the business immigration process can be a complex and important journey. To ensure a smooth and successful experience, it’s crucial to ask the right questions and gain a comprehensive understanding of your case. By seeking guidance from an immigration attorney, you can navigate the process with confidence. In today´s article we are going to share some key questions to consider. 

1.What is the business immigration process for my case type?  

It is important to ask your immigration attorney what your process will look like. You should ask your attorney how long it may take, as well as what may happen in the worst-case scenario.  

2.What are the eligibility criteria for my case type?

Not only is it important to ask about the eligibility criteria for your case type, but it is important to disclose everything about your immigration history for your attorney to accurately depict whether you meet the outlined criteria.  

3.What are my options if I have been denied a visa or green card?

It is important to ask your immigration attorney what options may be available for you if you’ve been denied a visa or green card. A denial does not mean that you are unable to apply for another visa or green card. Additionally, it is important to ask what avenues may be available if you are denied the visa that you are seeking. 

4. What are the potential roadblocks or challenges I may face in the process? 

This is a great question to ask your immigration attorney. This is important so that you are aware of the issues that may arise in the process. The process to obtain a visa or green card can be stressful and lengthy. It is important to ask your attorney what potential roadblocks may arise and what stage of the process that they may occur. This is important so that you can get a big picture view of the entire case process and potential roadblocks. 

5. What are the potential consequences if I make a mistake or falsify information in my application?

This is an important question to ask because honesty is extremely important when filing immigration documents. There can be very detrimental effects to falsifying information on your immigration application. Therefore, it is extremely important to ask your immigration attorney about the possible implications of falsifying information. 

6. What are the fees associated with my case? 

It is important to ask your immigration attorney what the legal fees and the filing fees associated with your case are. Also, it is important to ask your immigration attorney what the payment arrangement looks like for these two fees.  

7. What are my obligations as an employer? What are my employees’ obligations?

This is an important question to ask because different business visas have different obligations and boundaries. Therefore, it is important for employers to be fully aware of what the obligations are on the employer and employees’ side to ensure that regulations are met and satisfied throughout the duration of the process.
