Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Hello I am trying to find out what we must do to request an upcoming visit to America for a relative who lives in the Dominican Republic. When we last visited our relative on June 26- July 2, 2010 we stopped by the Embassy there and were given informarion about having a letter from a lawyer stating what we wanted to do and how long our relative would be in New Jeresy along with a break down of fees.

So I guess my question is, how do we go about getting this letter and due to the fact that the letter must be noterized can we just write the letter and have it noterized or does it really have to be from a lawyer? ( I hope this makes sense) and I am sorry for the long run on. We are trying to see if our relative can come to New Jersey from September 16- September 24, 2010. I hope you can advise or help us on the driection we need to follow.( I have placed this under the topic of Immigration Law because I was unsure which topic it should be under)

Thank You,

Kimiko Trotman

If you know how to write this letter, you don't need a lawyer. A consulate worker suggested you consult a lawyer because embassy or consulate employees are not authorized to give you legal help, this is why he referred you to a lawyer.

However, please keep in mind that no letter can 100% guarantee that a foreign relative will be granted a visa. It largely depend on his situation and how well he can present it to the consul.
