Insider TRUTH About the Visa and Immigration Process
MYTH
People think that Visa applications are a relatively simple process. They think they will either do it themselves, or find the cheapest lawyer because it’s all the same.
MISTAKES
People needing visas find out that the Visa system is an impossible labyrinth, that it is easy to make errors and give wrong evidence, and that once they sign with a lawyer, most have their own agendas you didn’t know about, hidden costs, they do not keep you informed, treat you as a ‘number’, may create only a ‘fair’ application and ignore your needs.
The stakes are high! Denials are more likely the second time around, and appeals of denials are expensive and can take years. A quick, careless work permit application---even if successful---can jeopardize permanent residency later. Delays resulting from careless applications can make things more complicated and expensive. It costs more to fix a problem than to prevent one!
CONSEQUENCES
So people badly in need of visas often experience hellish, highly stressful situations, and consequences. The visa process costs them much more in the long run, they feel alone, lost, frustrated or angry by wasting precious time and money being ignored by their lawyers who do not follow up on their initial promises. For those trying to do it on their own, they suffer anxiety by conflicting, often out-of-date information online, and feel highly stressed and fearful that their errors cost them delay or they even destroy their chance of getting a visa.
Visas and immigration can be key to the survival of your company, your choice of life-long profession and the future of your family. The long term consequences can include you not having the opportunity to change your life, to live your dreams or to better your family’s situation.
