US Immigration Lawyer | Immigration Lawyer | Immigration Attorneys

Are you a lawyer? if yes please answer : Is it hard to become an immigration attorney?

I don’t like other type of law and I have noticed there aren’t much immigration attorneys in my area, why is that?

The key to getting into the type of law you want to practice is getting an internship in the area of law you wish to practice. In order to do that, take classes that will be relevant to immigration law, including international law and tax classes. Even if there aren’t a lot in your area, try to find internships in other cities (if you can afford to travel there for the summer). Then, start your own firm when you pass the bar! Or, take the bar in a state that does a lot of immigration work, like California, Florida or Texas. Best of luck!

a uk based immigration lawyer promises to book a seat with the ukba… Can he legally do this?

a uk immigration law firm is promising to book a seat with the ukba before the 19th of july if i pay them now -this way the cap/additional points that come into effect after this date will not affect me even though I will be filing after this date. Is the firm being honest?
a uk immigration law firm, capitalvisas.com is promising to “book a seat” with the ukba before the 19th of july if i pay them now -this way the cap/additional points that come into effect after this date will not affect me even though I will be filing after this date. Is the firm being honest?

Hi all,

First time posting – so bear with me. I am a lawyer (not with capital visas) but with Westkin Associates but will try and avoid posting spam as a few other law firms seem to have done! A few points:

1. A law firm can offer this service if they have the correct registration with UKBA. The service is called the Legal Representatives Same Day Service. It should show up on a web search, there is a UKBA. They usually call these “slots”.
2. Only firms registered with the law society or OISC can use this service. Capital visas have the OISC logo on their site so seem to be registered with them although I haven’t checked this online.
3.A firm shouldn’t charge you more for a slot because they can. They should only charge for work done or increased costs. Using the same day service can cost more , eg when we provide clients the same day service we have to pay a legal clerk to go there all day and so explain this to clients up front. How much more were they charging and what for? They cannot “price gouge” but can charge for work done or costs incurred.

4. This might be late but I assume you want to avoid the new changes, they have just come out here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/applying/ – for Tier 1 and follow the link if you want Tier 2.

for you to see of they affect you.

5. I am in the process of preparing a guidance video for our clients on the new changes. I will happily post this on this page for your tmmrw.

Hope that helps,

Amir
