Learn how Noodle ensures you’re ready to take on your cases. 

Why Organization Matters in Immigration Law

Imagine working with an immigration lawyer, and they have no idea where the paperwork you filed with them the week before is. You would likely be frustrated and lose trust in that lawyer. The work of immigration lawyers requires they are on top of everything at all times. Here’s why:  

There’s Lots of Paperwork 

Between the forms you’re filing and the proof your clients provide, there is a lot of paperwork. You want to make sure you’re not missing any documents, especially ones that would be hard to reproduce, like say a foreign birth certificate, or mixing cases up. 

There Are Can’t-Miss Deadlines

Sometimes there are deadlines you can’t easily push back. Say you appear in front of an immigration judge and don’t turn in documents when you’re supposed to. It can make you look frenzied. 

There’s a Lot at Stake

Immigration cases can be life-changing for an individual. A lack of organization can lead to mistakes, delayed filings and more than can affect a client. In some cases, this might mean that their cases move even slower through the immigration system, but in other, more serious cases, it can mean a rejection.
