Immigration Lawyers Near Chicago
When going through the immigration process, you will realize it takes time to complete the process, and in some cases, years. Making a mistake in your filing or missing a deadline can only make things worse by either delaying your case further or simply putting your status at risk. Our Chicago immigration lawyers at the Law Firm of Kriezelman Burton & Associates offer comprehensive immigration law services for clients in the Chicago area, so please reach out for more information today.
We exclusively focus on the practice of immigration law and keep ourselves constantly updated with new developments in this area of law that is constantly changing. Our lawyers are also dedicated to providing excellent services which are appreciated by our satisfied clients.Â
The types of immigration cases we handle fall within the following broad categories:
Family-Based Immigration
U.S immigration law allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) to petition and have their close family members receive green cards based on their familial relationships. However, not all family members are eligible to receive family-based green cards.Â
The law limits the family members who qualify for green cards basically to spouses, children, parents, and siblings of U.S. citizens and spouses and children of Green Card holders. Family members of U.S. citizens are treated differently and obtain their green cards faster than family members of Green Card holders.Â
This is because cases for family members of U.S. citizens only take the normal processing time of five to 12 months, while those for family members of Green Card holders can take years because of backlogs in processing those cases.
Employment-Based Immigration
U.S employers are allowed to petition and have foreign-born workers work for them if they meet requirements set by the law. These requirements are in place to make sure U.S. workers do not sidestep hiring American workers in preference for foreign workers who they want to pay less than they would pay American workers. For this reason, there are tests in place for the employer to prove hiring foreign workers is not at the expense of American workers.Â
At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, we help employers to make sure these requirements are satisfied and, more importantly, to make sure that the petitions filed by our employer clients are approved without any delay in the processing time.
Deportation and Appeals
When placed in the dreaded deportation or removal proceedings, one rightly gets worked up and worried about what the future may hold. The fear of deportation can be traumatizing for some, especially those who fear that a return to their countries could cause harm to them. At Kriezelman Burton, our priority in deportation cases is to mount the best possible defense to keep the government from deporting our deportation clients. There are various strategies we deploy depending on each individual’s facts and circumstances but what you can rest assured if you are in deportation proceedings is that our experienced deportation attorneys will do their best to keep you in this country.

Kevin Raica literally saved my life. He helped me out of a dangerous situation that my previous attorney had put me in. After 17 years without status and 6.5 years of working with my previous attorney, I had experienced so many denials that I had completely lost hope. When I met Kevin, everything changed. He genuinely cared about my situation and gave me hope when I couldn’t see any for…

We have been in the dark with our case for over 2 decades, while working with other big firms who just kept me in the dark and sat on our case without making any effort to move it forward until I met the wonderful team at Kriezelman & Burton. AO and JP are truly God-sent angels who with their knowledge, collaboration, sense of direction and outside the box thinking, managed…
Highly recommend attorney Kevin Raica and attorney Agata Bigdanowicz. They were super helpful, responded on time, and won my case in record time. It took about a month and half in total for me to get my approval after filing!
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate.

Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case.
