Whether you are hoping to apply for a visa, Sri Lankan citizenship, or other immigration benefit, or are facing trouble, such as an arrest by immigration authorities or upcoming deportation (removal) proceedings, make sure to consult an attorney who handles immigration matters like yours.
Immigration law is among the most complicated in Sri Lanka, and the consequences of misunderstanding it can be severe—from permanently losing out on an opportunity that could have been yours to being deported from Sri Lanka and barred from return.
An experienced immigration lawyer will be able to analyze your situation, explain the relevant law to you, and develop a strategy tailored to you and your family. An attorney who knows the system will be able to offer insight as to local procedures and the tendencies of the officers or judges whom you’ll be meeting. As your case moves forward—a process that can take years, due to the slow-moving immigration bureaucracy—you’ll want representation you’re confident in.
