Immigration Legal Resources
LetterLotus cannot generate immigration hardship letters because immigration law is highly specialized. Preparing immigration documents without proper authorization constitutes the unauthorized practice of law under 8 CFR Part 292, and mistakes in immigration matters can lead to severe consequences, including denial of benefits, deportation, or permanent bars from future relief.
This restriction exists to protect you. Unfortunately, many people have been harmed by unlicensed individuals (sometimes called "notarios") who charge for immigration help they are not qualified to provide. We want to make sure you get the right help from the right people.
