Mistakes on\nthese forms can lead to delays, lost money and even rejections. Be sure to\navoid these five mistakes in your immigration process to stay away from any\nhiccups along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filling Out the Wrong Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From time to time, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services\n(USCIS) updates their required citizenship applications. Be sure to visit their\nsite and confirm that you are filling out the most up to date forms available.\nIf you end up submitting an outdated version, there\u2019s a good chance your\napplication review will be delayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the Wrong Ink Color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, the color of your ink actually matters! Make\nsure you fill out all of your forms in black ink. While other colors may look\nlegible on the original form, the clarity may diminish once copies are made.\nThe last thing you want is for your application to be delayed due to legibility\nissues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forgetting to Sign the Paperwork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you meticulously fill in your entire application\nwith completely valid answers, all of that means nothing without your\nsignature. If you do forget to sign, it likely won\u2019t void your application, but\nit will certainly delay its approval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Failing to Pay Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various payments you\u2019ll have to make throughout\nthe immigration process. If you forget to provide this payment, your forms will\nmost likely be sent back to you. This is generally not the end of the world. At\nthat point, you can simply pay the required fees and resubmit your paperwork.\nKeep in mind that avoiding payments long term could result in deportation or\nother unwanted actions, however. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Getting Proper Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In truth, the immigration process is not always easy. For\nreal peace of mind that no costly hiccups will take place during your\napplication process, you\u2019ll want to have an expert in your corner. Some look\nfor notaries or immigration consultants to help with the immigration process,\nwhich is another common mistake. Instead, look for a team of experienced\nattorneys and accredited representatives who are recognized by the Department\nof Justice. When you choose a law firm like Elizabeth Anu Lawrence Law, you\u2019re\ngetting expert advice at every step of the way from a team that has been\nthrough this same process many times before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elizabeth Anu Law Can Help You Through the Immigration Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or a loved one is uncertain how to proceed with the\nimmigration process, choose an experienced firm like the Law Office of\nElizabeth Anu Lawrence to give you the help you need.&nbsp; Please give us a call at 443.352.3201.
