Are you currently working on or planning to work in the future on an immigration case with an accredited attorney? Hiring an immigration attorney is an excellent way of ensuring that your application is completed in an efficient, organized and accurate manner. However, it is critical that you maintain an honest, transparent relationship with your attorney. Read on to learn about some of the consequences of lying to your immigration attorney.
Consequence #1: Lies hurt our assessment of the best immigration path for you.
One of an immigration attorney’s most important tasks is determining the best path for you to achieve your immigration goals. This assessment requires information that is complete and correct in order to be effective.
If you lie to your immigration attorney while they are assessing the best path forward for you, it is possible that the wrong approach to your case will be selected, and this will likely lead to issues in the future, including the denial of your application.
It is always best to provide honest information to your attorney as they are assessing your case, even if you think the information might be detrimental to what you perceive your case to be. Immigration attorneys are able to build the best case for you when they are able to make an assessment based on ALL of the correct information.
Consequence #2: Lies hurt our abilities to effectively organize your case.
Once the immigration attorney has assessed your case and decided on the best path forward, there will need to be a constant flow of clear communication and correct information throughout the process of organizing the case. Reporting information in a timely, accurate manner ensures that every component of your case is the best it can be and is more likely to be approved.
If you lie to your attorney throughout the process of organizing your case, it means that components of your application may be incorrect or incomplete. These little details matter to the officer reviewing the application, and it is possible that your case could be delayed or even denied.
Consequence #3: Lies will always come up again later.
The most important consequence of lying to your immigration attorney is that any lies will eventually reappear and have effects later. While smaller lies or omissions may be harder to notice quickly, repeated lies compound and create complexities for your case that are difficult to resolve if they are detected further along in the process.
Therefore, it is important to be open and honest with your immigration attorney throughout the entire process of compiling your case. Your immigration attorney is your advocate, and he/she would hate to see your application be denied on the account of false or omitted information.
