The separation and the death of loved ones are the most devastating events of our existence! For an immigrant in process to obtain his permanent residence, the legal end of his relationship with the petitioner becomes one of the most tragic periods of delay of his life and a time of great uncertainty.

Thousands are caught without protection. It happens before the period required to obtain the legal benefits or before the approval of the proceeding, and many, although they could benefit cannot demonstrate that they will not become a public charge, and therefore they are eventually removed of the country, without any defense.

Generally, the immigrant desperate for his legalization and without proper advice from a professional consultant's office, clings to the first option that finds; his citizen or resident relative, or his own employer. Risking everything for his legalization he forgets that the petitioner, although is a person with desire to help him, lacks the necessary means to guarantee economic solidity or simply; that he is old and he could pass away during the process.

Like in everything; a professional analysis, a good strategy of diversification and a meticulous preparation of the case, can be of transcendental importance.
When the United States government considers the admission of an immigrant, it reviews dozens of contingencies that could characterize the immigrant as inadmissible. Also, you must reflect on your future admissibility. I mean that you must consider several points; not only the relation that you maintain with the petitioner; but also the age, physical conditions and economic position of the petitioner, before beginning the process of residence. This way you will be prepared for any outcome.
