Common Challenges in Immigration Cases

For most immigration paths in the United States, there is a clear process. There are specific forms to use, fees to pay, and steps to go through. But this doesn’t mean that every case progresses without issue.

Many of our clients come to us after experiencing common challenges, such as:

  • Long processing times and case delays
  • Issues understanding eligibility requirements or determining whether they qualify for a certain visa type
  • Requests for Evidence, which can significantly lengthen the case’s processing time
  • Problems with admissibility and waiver requests
  • Notice of removal proceedings
  • Language and communication barriers that make the system more difficult to navigate

At The Law Office of Judith C. Garcia, we’re committed to doing everything we can to help our clients overcome these challenges and successfully resolve their immigration cases.
