Mistakes That Could Get Your I-129 Application Denied

Thousands of visa applications are denied by the USCIS every single year, and these denials are often due to simple errors that could have been avoided by the applicant, or even due to errors committed by immigration officials.

An attorney may be able to help you avoid common reasons for denial, such as:

  • An expired passport
  • An overstayed visa or illegal entry into the U.S. on your record
  • Inconsistencies across your paperwork that can be perceived as deceit or fraud
  • Failure to provide proof that you have a reason to return to your native country
  • Failure to prove that you can support yourself financially
  • The USCIS lost documents or missed facts clearly stated in your application

Whatever the source of a mistake, an experienced immigration attorney can help you take the right steps to re-submit Form I-129 or to appeal the denial. Better yet, an attorney can help you from the very start of this legal process, helping you to get your Form I-129 accepted the first time around.

Make the Smart Choice.
