Why choose BJL?

Why choose an immigration lawyer to represent you?

When faced with the decision to hire an immigration lawyer to represent you, It is completely normal to question whether you truly need the assistance of a such a professional.  It is quite possible that you know someone who has not required the services of an immigration lawyer for their visa application.  You may have heard that they simply filled out certain forms, paid the required fees and were granted a visa without any complications.

On the other hand, you must have also heard of situations where someone has submitted their application without the assistance of an immigration lawyer, and in the end, for some vague reason, their visa application was denied.   No matter which of these stories you have heard, the important thing is to recognize that they are only stories.  There are also many  situations which you have not heard about in which applicants have been denied a visa but do not discuss it with friends or family because they are simply too embarrassed.

We strongly believe that submitting an immigration application without the assistance of an experienced immigration lawyer is a serious risk which is not worth taking.  This is particularly true if you and the members of your family are serious about your plans to immigrate and do not want to take risky bets with your immigration application.

The laws and regulations governing Immigration law are extremely complex and ever evolving.  You probably have some idea about the requirements for an immigration visa. However, unless you are a lawyer specialized in immigration it is extremely difficult to be consistently aware of almost continuous changes in immigration law, regulations and interpretations thereof that will significantly impact the outcome of your application. 

It is important to know that your conduct and the decisions you make during the application process may have a negative impact on your current immigration status and/or approval of your visa, even well after you have filed the application or have been granted your visa.  Your actions may also inadvertently be the cause of complications or even determine the outcome of applications submitted by other members of your family which currently are or will be undertaking the application process.

Should you take this as an invitation to leave your file with an immigration lawyer and believe that everything will take care of itself?  It would be somewhat naive to think so.  It is extremely important for all applicants to understand the nature of the procedures and every step that must be taken throughout the application process.  Applicants and immigration lawyers must work together in order to maximize the application’s chances of success.  Only the applicant knows the complete details of his personal situation and no one will know the ins and outs of immigration law better than an immigration lawyer.  In sum, the majority of successful immigration applications are those in which the applicant and the immigration lawyer have worked together as a team.

What sets us apart from other firms.

While other firms simply treat their clients as mere numbers or files, we prefer a much more personalized approach based on human contact.  We chaperon our clients through their entire immigration process by encouraging collaboration by means of effective communication and continuous contact. 

We understand the importance of the immigration process and prepare each application we present with the utmost care.  We are personally invested in each and every file which is why a resource person is assigned to each file in order to promptly respond to our client’s questions or concerns.

What sets us apart most from other firms however is our fighting spirit and our determination to have every application we present a success.  We evaluate each file in detail before we accept an applicant as a client and from the very first contact.  We are extremely proud of our policy to respond to all emails within 24 hours or the work day following day of reception.  Our number one priority is the approval of all our client’s applications.

Our commitment to you is to open a new horizon of opportunities

Our mission is simple: inform, assist and be available to our clients throughout the immigration process. We have been dedicated to this mission since 1991.  By being available to our clients, we can respond to their questions or concerns and carry out our duty to keep our clients informed about the processing of their applications.  Clearly, each applicant has his own distinct attributes which will require particular attention and a personalized approach in order to find the appropriate solutions.  In this context, we pride ourselves on being honest with applicants, starting with our initial evaluation of their possibilities to succeed.  We draw the client’s attention to any present or potential complications that may arise with regards to their application as well as the various alternative options and solutions which may be available to them.  With all the pertinent information in hand, we are confident that our clients are able to make the most beneficial decision with respect to their immigration plans.

The best way to assist our clients through the immigration process is by informing them of all the aspects involved with their application and the process they have selected.  This way we can ease the doubts and concerns that clients are faced with when submitting visa applications which are often complicated.  A successful immigration application requires work both on the part of the lawyer and the client.   Developing a relationship of mutual cooperation based on personal exchanges with our clients gives us the ability to chaperon our clients through the various steps involved in the application process.

By communicating with our clients and effectively relaying information, we have the ability to take prompt and necessary action if difficulties ever arise during processing.  We promptly intervene if necessary, and we are always there to help our clients through the entire process.
