Chicago Immigration Lawyer — Helping Families and Individuals Get Green Cards
If you need a trusted immigration lawyer in Chicago, I can help. For more than two decades, I’ve guided couples, families, and businesses through
marriage-based green cards,
green card renewals,
family visas,
nonimmigrant visas,
naturalization,
employment green cards, and
federal court immigration litigation
(including mandamus 28 U.S.C. § 1361, habeas 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and naturalization litigation 8 U.S.C. §§ 1447(b) and 1421(c)).
I’ve also taught immigration law to paralegals at the City Colleges of Chicago since 2007.
My goal is simple: make the immigration process easier and less stressful for you.
You will get clear explanations, honest advice, and personal attention from an attorney who understands how important your case is.
Schedule Your Free Consultation
I don’t want scheduling to be a barrier. Choose whichever option works best for you:
- Book online: Pick a time that fits your schedule. (recommended)
- Email: If the available scheduled times do not work, send me a message and we’ll find a time that does.
- Call: If something is urgent or you’d rather just talk, call or text 872-222-9077. I’ll get back to you promptly.
Why Work With a Solo Immigration Attorney?
U.S. immigration law is complex, and small mistakes can cause delays, denials, or requests for more evidence.
When you hire me, you work directly with me—not a case manager, not a rotating team of staff, not a call center.
I handle your case from the initial consultation through your USCIS decision.
- Direct communication: When you call or email, you reach me. You won’t be transferred between departments or wait days for someone to “check with the attorney.”
- No bureaucracy: Decisions happen quickly. If something needs to change or a question comes up, we address it—without committee meetings or approval chains.
- Consistent attention: I know your case because I’m the one working on it. You won’t have to re-explain your situation every time you call.
- 20+ years of focused experience: Careful review of your history and goals to choose the best strategy, with thorough preparation of forms and evidence to reduce the risk of delays or denials.
- Free consultation: Understand your options before making any decisions or spending any money.
Immigration Services I Provide
I handle a wide range of immigration matters for individuals, couples, families, and employers in Chicago and nationwide.
Below are the most common case types I assist with.
Marriage-Based Green Cards & Adjustment of Status
Guidance on eligibility, and complete representation, including preparing forms, reviewing supporting evidence, and interview preparation/appearance for marriage-based adjustment.
Green Card Renewals & Replacements (Form I-90)
Remove Conditions (Form I-751)
I prepare I-751 filings for conditional residents—both joint petitions and waiver-based in cases of divorce, hardship, and abuse.
- Joint I-751: file in the 90-day window before the card expires.
- I-751 waivers:
Divorce,
Abuse,
Extreme hardship.
Family-Based Immigration
Support for petitions and strategy involving spouses, children, parents, and certain other qualifying relatives.
Nonimmigrant Visas
Whether you want to visit, study, work, or extend your stay, I can help you identify the best nonimmigrant visa strategy.
Naturalization and Citizenship
Preparation of Form N-400, issue spotting based on your history, and interview preparation/attendance to reduce avoidable delays and denials.
Employment-Based Green Cards
Strategy and execution for employer-sponsored permanent residence, including PERM-based cases and related planning.
Federal Court Immigration Litigation
When a case is stuck or your rights require judicial review, I evaluate whether federal court is the appropriate tool.
- Mandamus for unreasonable delay.
- Naturalization delay after the interview (8 U.S.C. § 1447(b)).
- Naturalization denial review (8 U.S.C. § 1421(c)).
What to Expect in Your Free Consultation
The consultation is a conversation—not a sales pitch. My goal is to understand your situation, explain your options, and help you decide whether moving forward makes sense.
During our call, we’ll typically cover:
- Your current immigration status and goals
- The most realistic filing options based on your facts
- Potential complications or issues to address
- What the process looks like, including timelines
- A clear fee quote if you decide to proceed
There’s no pressure to hire me. If I think you don’t need a lawyer or would be better served elsewhere, I’ll tell you.
