Immigration Solicitor

Immigration laws are becoming more and more stringent especially for people who want to settle in more developed countries to avail better lifestyle and lucrative career opportunities.

Sometimes even people with legitimate documents are denied visas. People face numerous problems and they do not know how to resolve them.

This is where the immigration solicitors come.

Here are some of the situations where they can help the people to overcome the legal hurdles.

An ordinary visa applicant cannot understand the finer points of law and cannot provide the right documents even though he may have them.
There are different categories of people seeking immigration. You may like to enter a foreign country as a spouse, visitor, student, employee, businessman and so on. Sometimes their relatives are held at the airport itself and not allowed to enter the country.
There are different requirements, rules and regulations for each category. For example, if you want to go as a student, you must ensure that you will pursue a full-time course of study and will be able to support yourself without seeking any aid from the government funds.
There are those who manage to immigrate to a country and intend to extend their stay beyond the visa period.
Most immigrants are not allowed to do any work or make money.
They are generally not allowed to invite their relatives such as fiancé, spouse or children to stay with them. In case somebody does come, he/she is deported back to their country.
Even the non-violators of immigration laws are sent to jail.
Some people wish to know whether or not they can obtain the passport of the country they have been staying in for a certain period of time.
Some migrants wish to acquire permanent residency or citizenship, but do not know if they are entitled to get the same and if so, how.
Services in the developed countries have become very costly. Some employers want to hire overseas nationals because they are more skilled and also come cheaper than the locals, but the governments do not allow visas to the foreigners to enter and work in their countries.

There are numerous other immigration problems that the immigration solicitors can help to resolve.
