06Questions clients ask

Immigration Attorney FAQs

What makes an immigration attorney different from a consultant?
An immigration attorney is licensed by a state bar, bound by professional ethics rules, and authorized to represent clients in federal immigration court. Consultants cannot provide legal advice or appear in court.
Is Attorney M. Riaz Musani licensed to practice in New York?
Yes. Attorney M. Riaz Musani is licensed to practice law in New York and Connecticut, with active bar membership and compliance with all professional responsibility requirements.
Can an immigration attorney represent me in federal court?
Yes. Immigration attorneys can handle appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal court proceedings including petitions for review and habeas corpus matters.
Do I need an attorney for my green card application?
While not legally required, attorney representation significantly improves case quality, reduces errors, and provides legal counsel for complex admissibility issues, RFEs, and interview preparation.
What should I look for when choosing an immigration attorney?
Verify bar admission, review case experience in your specific matter type, assess communication quality, and confirm the attorney (not just staff) will handle substantive legal work on your case.
Can an attorney help if I'm in removal proceedings?
Yes. Removal proceedings are adversarial court cases requiring legal representation. An attorney can present defenses, argue for relief, and protect your procedural rights throughout the hearing process.
How does attorney-client privilege work in immigration cases?
Communications with your attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege and confidentiality rules. This protection does not extend to consultants or notarios who are not licensed attorneys.

An attorney can analyze the RFE, identify the legal deficiencies USCIS identified, and prepare a comprehensive legal response with supporting evidence and legal argument.
Does Mandi Law Group handle federal immigration appeals?
Yes. We handle appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and can coordinate federal court review when appropriate for your case.
