Those seeking to obtain a US immigration benefit is well advised to seek the assistance of a competent American Immigration attorney
. Unfortunately, in Asia and throughout the world there are some who claim expertise in United States Immigration matters without any credentials. For this reason, it is always prudent to ask for the credentials of anyone claiming to be an American Immigration Lawyer or "specialist". The easiest way to ascertain an individual's credentials is by asking to see a State or Federal License to practice law or a membership card for a State or Federal Bar Association. Upon such credentials being remitted to the prospective client, it could prove beneficial to cross reference these documents with the relevant US State or Federal Court.
