Generally a non-immigrant (temporary) work based Visa only allows you to work in the profession and on the tasks that the Visa was issued for.  For example, if you get a Work Visa in specific category that allows you to work in that particular company with particular employer, you will only be permitted to work for that company/employer.  Similarly, if you start a business and get an Business Visa, you can only conduct business associated with the business activities that you listed on your application.  For example, if you get an Business Visa because you open a Fast Food, you could not then open a grocery store in conjunction with your fast food business.  Your work activities in this case would be limited to running the fast food business.  If you have a permanent resident status, you can work anywhere in the country without restriction.

You are only permitted to stay in the country for the time designated on visa and any overstay can cause you problems.  This is a complicated area but generally speaking the longer you stay in the country without status, the harder it will be for you to obtain a visa in the future.  Some overstays combined with unauthorized work can result in a permanent bar from the country.  If you have overstayed your Visa, you should consult an immigration lawyer right away.  Often for short overstays, an Immigration Lawyer can work with you to put your best foot forward with their wisdom and application of accurate relaxation provided in the immigration law of the country.  Also, when you apply for almost every Visa after you have already had one in the country wants you to PROVE that you maintained lawful status after your Visa expired or show proof that you left the country.  It is NOT sufficient to just say that I lost my airline ticket or I drove across the border as it is your responsibility to prove that you maintained status. Also, you should note that organizations are required to report to the government when employment terminates.

It depends upon country to country. Normally, most of the English countries do not allow to change status to those who hold visitor visa while staying in their country. However, If you are in the U.S. and have a valid Visa, you will most likely be able to “change status” by filing the appropriate petitions.  If the person left the country, he/she would be required to re-apply for other visa type at Embassies in Pakistan as they could not reenter with the new Visa.  This is a confusing area so you should consult an immigration lawyer for sure.

There are some immigration forms where you do not need a lawyer because those are quite simple and you can do those yourself.  Also, some of the family-based forms can be somewhat procedural and a careful meticulous person could work on some of the forms.  While some can work on immigration forms themselves, you are always served by having a lawyer either review the forms or prepare them.  Given the importance of an visa/ Immigration application and the consequence of completing your petition incorrectly, you should get an experienced Immigration lawyer.  Qazi Law Associates ™ has often taken over cases where people thought they could file their visa/appeal cases on their own and have made substantial errors which have jeopardized their status in and leaded to denial of visa/appeal case also, Immigration is a tricky area and there are many things a good Immigration lawyer can point out to you that may ultimately save you far more than you will ever pay the lawyer.  Your chances of a successful petition will ALWAYS be improved if you use a qualified experienced immigration lawyer.

You should also feel free to ask what types of issues the immigration lawyer has encountered with your type of case.  Also, check to make sure that the lawyer is a member of any regulatory body as most reputable immigration lawyer and is member of this organization and make sure and ask your immigration lawyer whether or not he/she has handled your particular type of case before and ask how many they have handled.
