So, it may be difficult to go back and forth and keep inquiring, file the paperwork or deal with the whole legal aspect of the <strong>Green Card application<\/strong>. Hire an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyime.com\/General\/LawyerIndex\">Immigration Lawyer<\/a><\/strong>. It is his job to deal with the underpaid USCIS staff and make sure his clients get Green Card without hassles. Plus, he knows legal terms much better than you do. Since, you will need to visit your immigration lawyer quite often, make sure that you select an immigration lawyer near you \u2013 it can be near your workplace or near your home.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Test and Dissect. <\/strong><br \/>\nNow that you have read up the basics, you will be able to filter out a good attorney from a bad one. Visit more than one immigration attorney. A high priced lawyer may not always be the right one and likewise a low priced one may not always be your last resort. Dissect what the immigration lawyer says and weigh opinions of more than one immigration attorney so you know the best option for you. The total lawyer fee usually falls within the range of $5000-$9000.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 4<\/strong><br \/>\nStart collecting the right documents. Keep filing them as and how you collect them. Make copies and make sure you have a backup file. One to two back up files are good. The attorney will let you know how you can file the documents. Once the file is prepared, it\u2019s time to submit it to the USCIS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step 1 Read, read and read! This could sound boring but it has no substitute.
