What is the Role of an Immigration Solicitor?

The role of an immigration solicitor is quite different from other types of lawyers. Immigration lawyers help individuals who get stuck with immigration issues.

Immigration lawyers are a type of advisors or counselor to people who need to interact with immigration authorities for their visa requirement. They can help you with different types of matters like visa application, citizenship, deportation issues and employment or higher studies for non-citizens.

They do not spend their time in court like other lawyers do, because they actually work as a middleman between clients and immigration authorities.

Many a time people hire immigration lawyers when they need some kind of visa related help, because they don’t understand immigration laws as they are quite complex.

Besides this with several different matters, you may need help of immigration lawyers. Some of these include:

  • If an applicant was involved in any type of criminal activity: Nearly every immigration form asks applicants about their criminal records, and you have to disclose your criminal record (if any), even for the charges that were dropped or expunged. Individuals usually hire criminal lawyers instead of hiring immigration lawyers for this. Immigration lawyers can efficiently handle such cases as they are experienced in criminal law and immigration.
  • If applicant’s immigration request was disapproved in past: An immigration lawyer can help in such situation by determining the reason of disapproval for your application. By understanding this they will tell if it is possible to request again or re-apply later in future.
  • If an applicant has any type of disease or medical issues: Not all but some of the diseases can stop your immigration application process.
  • If the person has previously been deported or excluded from entry into the UK:
  • When application is getting delayed without any reason and applicant is waiting from long time.
  • When someone is looking for employment-based visa and their future employer is not helping with any type of immigration issues then an immigration lawyer can help you.
  • During immigration application process it is very hard to prove that marriage was real if marriage broke due to divorce or death.
