Be prepared to answer personal questions during an in-person interview or Stokes interview without contradictions.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Consider legal support<\/strong>: An experienced immigration lawyer or law firm can guide you through the process, represent you during removal proceedings, and respond to Notices to Appear (NTAs).
