Immigration law is one of the most complex parts of the legal system, and it is often surrounded by misinformation and confusion. At Waldron Law Firm, PLLC, we frequently hear concerns based on myths rather than of facts.
Here are some of the most common misconceptions we hear about immigration law and the truth behind them:
- Myth: Immigration requires simple paperwork. In reality, immigration has strict requirements, deadlines, and evolving policies. A small error on an application can lead to delays, denials, or even removal proceedings. Our legal guidance can help ensure accuracy and compliance.
- Myth: You are guaranteed permanent status if you have a visa. Visas are temporary and come with specific conditions. If you overstay or violate the terms of a visa, this can jeopardize future opportunities. Permanent residency and citizenship require separate applications and careful preparation.
- Myth: Marrying a U.S. citizen guarantees a green card. Marriage does not automatically result in legal status. Applicants must prove the legitimacy of the relationship and meet eligibility requirements. Fraudulent claims can lead to serious consequences.
- Myth: Immigration law is the same for everyone. Every case is unique. The right strategy depends on factors like your country of origin, family ties, employment, or humanitarian concerns.
