Only thing a lawyer has is a good access to your bank account,lol I dont believe they have any special "ins" unless they personally know someone, but on the whole, they don't.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

No - and if they did, I think more people would enlist their services for just that ITEM alone - but no they do not.

Good Luck on your journey

Let me add that before I found VJ I had no clue that one could go through

all of this without using a lawyer. It was always clear to me that a lawyer's

services were mandatory. That's how years ago I got my green card, that's

how I got my citizenship. Always used an Immigration lawyer. Boy, was I

stupid. And boy did I pay through my nose.
