These are some of the procedures that an immigration lawyer manages:

1. Permanent Residence (Green Card): the immigration lawyer helps you to process and obtain a permanent residence (Green Card) through the Immigration and Nationality Law.
2. Naturalization: attorneys are knowledgeable about the process to naturalize in the United States, which includes knowing about the exam that is required to take after you are eligible for naturalization.
3. Non-immigrant visas: there are some visas such as the H-l Visa or J-l visa that foreign professionals can use to work in the country. Other visas such as attorney’s can be used by attorneys who want to offer their professional services to US citizens.
4. Immigrant visas: immigrant visas are very important, as they allow you to enter the country and live legally for a specified period of time. For example, the F-l visa is for international or personal students with qualified need. H-l visa is for workers and O-l visa is for integral artists.
5. Political Asylum: a lawyer can help you obtain political asylum if you have come from abroad and fear persecution in your country for religious, ethnic or gender reasons.
6. Deportation: if you have been committing serious crimes around the world such as drug trafficking or terrorism, you could be subject to deportation by the American government. Whatever situation you experience, the immigration attorney will give you legitimate advice to address the problem and work on your behalf.
