Do I have to pay lawyers in the US and in my country?

The U visa is a humanitarian benefit aimed at victims of certain crimes, allowing them to remain in the United States while cooperating with authorities. Although legal assistance is important to understand documents and follow legal procedures, there is no legal obligation to pay lawyers in the US and in your country of origin.

It is possible to hire an immigration lawyer in the US, including one who works remotely. In some cases, it may be helpful to consult a local lawyer for specific issues and communication with agencies in the country of origin.

The decision depends on the complexity of the case and individual needs. It is emphasized that it is important to follow US immigration laws and avoid scams, always seeking qualified and reputable professionals. In summary, hiring a lawyer is a strategic decision and should be done carefully and with expert guidance.
