Weekly Immigration News Summary

It is essential to understand the immigration system, or at least be up to date with current policies, when starting an immigration journey in the US, or even if you just need to renew your legal permit or complete a pending process within the country. We recommend this mainly because local immigration processes are not always permanent, but rather tend to change regularly depending on global conditions, social needs, ideals of the country’s administration and many other factors.

Therefore, to avoid a possible rejection of your application, the ideal would be for you to be up to date with the most recent immigration news and have the constant accompaniment of experts on immigration matters. For this last option, we recommend for you to contact Motion Law Immigration and ask for a FREE Consultation with our attorneys, who have years of experience guiding people through all kinds of immigration processes.
