How to prepare for your immigration appointment?

Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

The first thing to understand is that there are different types of interviews, all of which have different requirements. completely different.

Citizenship interview

The main thing is that you have to be prepared for the History and Government exam, if you don't qualify to take the exam automatically in Spanish.

People who are at least 50 years old and have been a resident for 20 years or, failing that, 55 years old and have been a resident for 15 years qualify here. They also qualify if they have filled out a medical certification (NT48), in which a doctor certifies that you have mental or memory problems, which are an impediment for you to learn English, so you are not tested. 

Generally, most people have to study for the History and Government test. To prepare, you have to go through the entire Citizenship Application. The officer will go through one by one, each of the questions in the Form N-400, and you have to be able to carry on a conversation with him.

This conversation is simply answering the questions on the form, of which there are 100. All the material can be found in the Website of Immigration.

If you have a criminal record or any complications, you need to discuss this with your attorney. It is always advisable to have your attorney go with you to avoid any surprises with Immigration.

Marriage interview

In this interview, you should bring as much evidence as possible that you and your partner are living together. Photos help a lot. If I tell you my experience, I have gone with people who have brought a box of albums and have spent the whole interview showing the albums to the officer.

In addition, they should present documents in common, including bank accounts, credit cards, car insurance, life insurance, medical insurance, etc. The more things they have at the same address the better. Copies and originals are taken to the officer.

Asylum interview

A lawyer is key in all interviews. For example in the matrimonial interview, in case there are differences. Here the lawyer helps you to reconcile the differences in the answers to the questions. marriage.

However, in the case of asylum, having a lawyer is of vital importance. It is important to that It is clear what type of prosecution will qualify you for approval of your case. You will do this with the help of your attorney. It is essential that he/she be prepared to present the necessary documentation, because in your mind it may be enough to qualify for asylum, but it is the attorney who will clarify your mind in these cases with the necessary and corresponding information.

Immigration Lawyer

The important thing is to go hand in hand with your lawyer. Personally, I would love to be that lawyer, help you in your interviews and not have you go through this alone.
