Embarking on the path toward citizenship or a green card can be complex and daunting. As stated before, you must have an experienced immigration attorney to guide you through each component. However, having an attorney is not enough. Invest in the relationship by being honest with your attorney to increase your chances of success. Many people make the mistake of withholding critical information from their lawyers because they believe that silence will improve their chances. In reality, this approach can lead to adverse outcomes, hindering your immigration process rather than helping it. At ZafiroLaw, we want you to appreciate the importance of completely disclosing everything to us because it allows us to protect you.
Why Do I Need to be Transparent?
When you seek legal counsel for an immigration issue, remember that your attorney is on your side. As immigration attorneys, we are bound by professional ethics and client confidentiality. When you withhold details or are dishonest, you are putting yourself at more risk. Without open and honest communication, your attorney cannot provide accurate guidance or develop strategies tailored to your needs.
Other people may withhold facts because they don’t deem them relevant. However, even seemingly minor traffic violations impact your immigration case. Immigration authorities may scrutinize your background and criminal record—including traffic offenses. Disclose everything. When your attorney has all the information, they can proactively address the issues.
Other Considerations
Lying and omitting information can have consequences. Misrepresenting or concealing facts relevant to your case can be considered fraudulent based on material representation. Immigration authorities can access databases and uncover things even if you are silent. Immigration officials may attempt to elicit this information from you. They are trained in detecting inconsistencies. Engaging in dishonesty will tarnish your credibility and may lead to the denial of your application.
Avoid this by being upfront with your attorney. They can prepare you to handle these situations by providing truthful responses explaining your actions. This is merely one example of how legal and honest remedies are available. When you tell your attorney everything, you are not putting yourself in harm’s way. Instead, you are allowing professional legal counsel to explore potential resolutions. Immigration lawyers are skilled in developing effective strategies to mitigate any negative impact your previous actions have on your current situation. Additionally, by being honest with the immigration officials, you are demonstrating your commitment to the laws of this country.
