Garwood, NJ asked in Immigration Law for New Jersey

Q: The only ID I have is my Swedish driving license. Will that be an issue for my adjustment of status interview?

I have an expired Swedish passport and expired US driving license as well as my valid Swedish driving license. I’m afraid USCIS won’t let me into the building or see me for my interview.

A: You should seek counsel and look to resolve your immigration matter as soon as possible. Immigration is a very complex area of law. It is a lot more than merely filling out forms. You need to retain an immigration attorney to handle all immigration proceedings. This prevents errors that can sometimes prove costly and may even be irreversible. You should always seek to obtain the best attorney that you can afford and not let geographic restrictions stand in the way. Some immigration attorneys will charge a consultation fee, however those that do so, will give full credit if you retain their law firm. Do not let geographic restrictions prevent you from obtaining the best possible attorney. Good luck.
