Option 1: Call the Immigration Lawyer Referral Service at: 1 (800) 954-0254. All participants of the IRLS are licensed to practice law in a state or territory of the United States and are currently a member in good standing of a State Bar Association.

Option 2: Visit or talk with the lawyer personally. Is he or she trustworthy and knowledgeable? What does the lawyer say can be done for you? How much will it cost? Ask if there is an initial consultation fee; there often is. If you are not satisfied talk to another lawyer.

Option 3: Ask about local nonprofit immigration assistance services with accredited representatives to see if you meet their low-income eligibility requirements. If you do, the assistance would be free or would require a very low fee. Make sure that they have a good reputation and that you feel comfortable with their skills. Some accredited representatives may offer only limited types of assistance.

What is an Immigration Lawyer? an Accredited Representative? the INS?

An immigration lawyer has studied the immigration laws of the United States and has graduated from law school. He or she is licensed to practice law and is regulated by the State and Federal Government. He or she can help you obtain legal status from the Immigration and Naturalization Service or represent you in Immigration Court.

An accredited immigration representative with a recognized nonprofit agency has been given permission by the U.S. government to help low-income individuals with immigration problems as long as only modest fees are charged.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is the government agency that handles immigration and nationality matters for foreign nationals who come to the United States. They process applications and petitions for legal status, decide who can enter and stay in the U.S., and enforce U.S. immigration laws.
