Is the information on this website legal advice?
Actually, no. The information on this website is not legal advice and is not intended to be a substitute for legal advice. I strongly suggest you talk to an immigration lawyer if you are seeking to obtain an immigration benefit in the United States.
If you would like legal advice then you should contact an attorney that practices the type of law you are inquiring about.
If you are looking for legal advice about a US immigration matter then you can contact one of the organizations from the EOIR Pro Bono list. You can also try searching sites like avoo.com where you can read reviews from clients.
Is this site updated regularly?
Nope.

Why Does This Site Exist?
I’m not sure. I was going to use it to organize all my templates and research from over the years but I’ve been too busy to ever dedicate time to doing so. Maybe one day I will.
A lot of the resources I post on this website have a little notice on them stating that it is being shared under the CCASA4.0 and in that case you are free to use it, reproduce it, use part of it, or do whatever you want with it so long as you also share it under the same terms.
Can I hire you to represent me?
Possibly. This website isn’t really about finding legal representation or soliciting business though so I don’t mention it or post information about how to contact me for those purposes. If you came to this about section specifically looking though then I suppose it’s okay for me to let you know that you can find information about my practice at www.jbclawoffice.com.
Will you represent me pro bono?
Nope.

Who Made This Site?
An immigration lawyer located in New York (as you may have guessed from the site’s name). If you want to know more for some reason, you can learn about Joseph Caraccio on this biographical page.
I can’t afford an attorney and I need help with _____________________ but I don’t see any templates or guides about it on the site.
Email me and I will provide you with whatever I have that I think might be helpful for you. I don’t know how long it will take me to respond to your email but I will try to respond as soon as I can.
Why don’t you post everything on your website rather than making people email you to request things?
There are a number of reasons but the primary reason is because I enjoy inconveniencing people and receiving hundreds of emails from people demanding I provide them with free legal assistance.
I think you’re a big dumb idiot and this site is stupid. I don’t think you should be posting this stuff and I am going to report you for it.
Okay.
You don’t even have to contact me to let me know your thoughts about this, but a couple people have in the past.
You are such an incompetent fool because on one of your pages you wrote X but all real lawyers would know that it is actually X and sometimes Y or Z.
Please shoot me an email and let me know why you think I’m a big dumb idiot who knows nothing. I’d really appreciate it. You can contact me using this webform of just shoot me an email.

Sure. So long as you aren’t selling it or using it for any other commercial purpose. I mean, you can do that but it would be sort of a dick move if you did. You don’t even need to contact me to ask permission anything. If you provide a link to this site with the content and credit it that would be cool (and sort of what you’re supposed to do) but do you. If you really want to let me know or if you need proof that you’ve been given permission then you can use use the form on the contact page or you can contact me by email at contact[@]nyvisalawyer.com.
I ask that you block AI scraping bots in your robots.txt file from stealing it but I sorta doubt that they actually respect those rules anyway so they will probably steal it any way but it’s worth a shot. If you are interested you can learn more here about protecting your data from AI scrapers.

That’s why they are being provided. It’s sort of the whole point of templates and samples. DO NOT ASSUME THEY ARE CORRECT.
Do not use anything from this site without doing your own research because I am telling you that there is content on this site that is out-of-date and contains bad law.
