An immigration lawyer is a legal professional specializing in immigration law who can provide advice and representation for individuals or businesses seeking to navigate the immigration process. They have a deep understanding of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern immigration to a particular country and can help clients understand their rights and obligations under those laws.
They can provide guidance on the various types of visas, and work passes that may be available, as well as assist with preparing and filing immigration applications and petitions. They can also represent clients in immigration court, assist with appeals and other post-decision matters, and provide advice on compliance with immigration laws and regulations.
Robert Schofield Schneider, an ex-immigration official, was found to have received bribes in 2006 and was put in jail for fifteen years for his misdeeds. The bribes involved the acceptance of green card applications. In the past, Schneider had used his advantage in order to extort funds from immigrants in the United States who were attempting to acquire legal status.
Over the course of several years, Schneider had received money amounting to more than $600,000. As a result, his actions enabled incalculable individuals to procure green cards despite their failure to fulfill the criteria.
The case of Schneider illustrates how vital it is to be certain that immigration officials are held to the utmost standards of integrity and that malpractices do not jeopardize the soundness of the immigration system.
