 Hi everyone, welcome back to our YouTube channel. My name is Jolie Greenbaum. I'm the executive assistant at Keyark Immigration Law and today we're going to be discussing legal submission letters. So a legal submission letter is essentially a cover letter which outlines all the facts of the case and information about the applicant. And it's also the first thing that an immigration officer is going to see when they receive your application because it's right on top. So essentially what we're doing through this legal submission letter as a firm is that we're advocating on your behalf. And we do so by using, you know, specific legal language and legal jargon that the immigration officer is looking for which is why it's so important to have a lawyer write this letter because we do it in such a way that is detailed yet clear and concise that way. All the facts are presented in a way which is easy for the immigration officer to see and easy for them to sort of interpret with the forms and the documents. So we often use in our legal submission letters case law and quotes as well to help support the letter in a way that helps to advocate for the client. And in order to, for us to write this legal submission letter, we submit questionnaires to our clients. The questionnaires can be really lengthy and we understand that at times it can overwhelm our clients because it is a lot of questions and we do ask for a lot of details. But we always find this to be really important because the details are what are very important. And as a law firm not only do we have an obligation but we always feel it to be very important that when we never omit information or legal submission letters and of course we never lie. We always find that an immigration officer is much more compassionate when they receive a letter that tells the truth and is outright and it's very clear. So in doing that and for us to write this letter we need to ask a lot of questions to the clients. So once the questionnaire is filled out fully and completely we receive the answer and then while the client is starting to collect documents on the side we start our work in writing the legal submission letter. And usually the legal submission letter ranges anywhere from five to 20 pages depending on the complexity of the case of course. But once the legal submission letter is completed first we send it over to Mary, the lawyer for her review. And then once it's reviewed by Mary we actually send the legal submission letter back to the client to fact check with them because we want to make sure that the information that we receive in the questionnaire matches with the answers that are in the forms and the answers that are in the documents. We need to make sure that you know the entire package is cohesive so that starts with having the information in the legal submission letter match up with the information that you see throughout the package. So in doing that we make sure that we double triple check with the client with ourselves with the documents with Mary to make sure that the legal submission letter is as complete as possible. And before submitting the entire application we always send it back to the lawyer for her final review. So if you have any questions about an immigration application or more questions about legal submission letters you can feel free to contact her office and we'll be more than happy to answer all your questions. So thanks for watching and we'll see you guys next time.
