Immigration is a complicated process, and it’s essential to have the right representation to ensure that your case is handled correctly. Unfortunately, many immigrants make the mistake of going to a notario or notary public for help with their immigration case.
Notarios are not authorized to provide legal advice or representation in the United States
While notarios may be authorized to perform certain legal tasks in their home countries, they do not have the same authority in the United States. In fact, they are not authorized to provide legal advice or representation in the United States.
The Consequences of Using a Notario
At Chris Cain Law, we have seen firsthand the consequences of using a notario. Notarios may make mistakes on important legal documents, which can lead to significant delays and complications in an immigrant’s case. For example, we have seen cases where a notario used the wrong forms, delaying the immigrant’s case by several months. In another case, the notario filed the wrong body of evidence and supporting documents, which triggered a request for additional evidence from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Trust in a licensed attorney
That’s why it’s essential to go to a licensed attorney for immigration-related legal advice and representation. A licensed attorney has passed a rigorous legal education and has been licensed by the state to practice law, which includes providing legal advice and representation.
