Coming to the United States represents a chance to create a better life for many people. Unfortunately, gaining admission into the country can be difficult. If you are looking to immigrate to the United States, but you have been deemed inadmissible, it can be beneficial to have the help of a skilled immigration attorney.

Here are two situations where it's in your best interest to hire an immigration law attorney before preparing your immigration application.

1. When you have been diagnosed with a communicable disease.

Individuals who have been diagnosed with a communicable disease (like tuberculosis or HIV) are deemed inadmissible when it comes to immigrating to the United States. In order to legally enter the country, these individuals must apply for a waiver.

An immigration attorney has the ability to help provide the documentation required to successfully process your waiver. Your attorney will be able to help you build a file that shows if you have a qualifying relationship as a spouse, child, or fiancé of someone already in the United States.

Your attorney will also be able to help you prepare the necessary paperwork to forward to the Center for Disease Control that is required to process your waiver application. If you are trying to gain admission to the United States with a communicable disease, be sure that you hire an experienced immigration attorney to assist you.

2. When your religious beliefs prevent you from getting the proper vaccinations.

United States citizens receive a number of vaccinations throughout their lifetime. If you want to immigrate to the United States, but your religious beliefs prevent you from getting the vaccinations required for entry, you may need the help of an immigration attorney to apply for a waiver.

You will need to put together documentation that proves your religious convictions require that you are opposed to all vaccinations, and you will need to prove that your religion plays a consistent role in your daily life in order to be granted a waiver to legally enter the United States.

Hiring an immigration attorney will help you ensure that your waiver application based on religious belief is complete, and hopefully prevent you from experiencing any delays or rejections due to a lack of proper vaccinations.

If you are hoping to immigrate to the United States, but you are deemed inadmissible, you will need the help of an attorney to apply for a waiver. Investing in the services of an experienced immigration attorney will ensure that your waiver application is complete in the future.
