Applying Without Legal Guidance in Complex Cases

U.S. immigration law is already complex — but if your situation involves past legal issues, overstay, or prior denials, filing an application without legal guidance can put your entire future at risk.

Let’s break down why getting legal help is critical in complex immigration cases — and what can go wrong if you go it alone.

What Counts as a “Complex” Immigration Case?

Even if your situation seems manageable, your case may be considered legally complex if it involves:

  • Previous visa overstay or unauthorized presence
  • Past deportation or removal orders
  • Criminal charges, arrests, or convictions (even minor ones)
  • Marriage fraud allegations
  • Multiple entries into the U.S. without inspection
  • Previous application denials or RFEs
  • Asylum, TPS, or DACA history
