When citizens of foreign countries wish to enter the United States, to either visit or immigrate, obtaining a visa is the first step. Having a visa allows you to travel to a “port of entry”—generally an airport or land border crossing. While having a visa indicates that a U.S. consulate or embassy determined you are eligible to seek admission to the country, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security or Customs and Border Control inspector at the port of entry will ultimately determine whether or not you may enter the U.S.
One of the reasons people are turned away at ports of entry is an incorrect or invalid visa. It’s absolutely critical to understand what type of visa you need and to ensure your visa is current. Due to the complexities of applying for a visa, an attorney specializing in visas is essential.
At Dozier Miller, we’re experienced in the multitude of visa categories and the application processes for each. We’ll take the time to get to know you and your goals for entering the country, and advise you as to the best visa to use for your trip. If you experience any delays or denials along the way, we can also help you keep your application moving forward. We have extensive experience appealing visa denials and filing waivers for the conditions that could make you inadmissible.
