Before taking a case, I ask questions, sometimes a lot of questions, about the immigrant’s entries to and exits from the United States.   Some prospective clients get antsy, and say, “I just want to know if I qualify for permanent residence. Why do you need to know all that information?” My response? “To do exactly that – To figure out what, if any, paths to legalization exist for you.”   After all, entries and exits are facts that the government always looks at.   Recommended Links For More Information: https://www.bataraimmigrationlaw.com/four-immigrant-entry-questions (Entry, Exit, And Admission Problems: Which Do You Need To Overcome?) https://www.carlosbatara.com/why-thorough-consultations-are-necessary/ (Why Thoroughness Should Not Be A Mere Afterthought In Consultations)
