How to Hire an Immigration Lawyer for Work Visas
Hire an immigration lawyer who has processed your specific work visa category recently — H-1B, O-1, L-1, E-2, and TN visas have different eligibility standards, evidence requirements, and timing constraints. Volume in your specific visa type in the past 12 months is the single strongest predictor of outcome quality.

질문할 항목
초기 상담 시 이 질문을 던져 강한 후보와 약한 후보를 빠르게 구분하세요.
1.How many petitions for this specific visa type did you file last year, and what was your approval rate?
왜 중요한가: Volume and recent approval rate are the primary competence signals for visa work. An attorney who filed 80 O-1 petitions last year sees patterns in USCIS adjudication that one who filed three does not.
2.What are the most common RFE issues for this visa type, and how do you structure the initial petition to prevent them?
왜 중요한가: Proactive evidence strategy reduces delays and denials. Attorneys who answer this question specifically — not generically — understand current USCIS scrutiny patterns for your visa category.
3.What alternatives exist if this visa does not work, and have you handled those pathways?
왜 중요한가: A lawyer with backup pathways thinks more strategically about your case from the start. Awareness of alternatives also prevents panic and delay if the primary pathway encounters a problem.
