Arlington Heights Family Based Immigration Attorney
Our Arlington Heights Family-Based Immigration Lawyers Have Been Reuniting Families for Over 40 Years
While many individuals migrate to the United States so that they may have a shot at the infamous “American Dream,” several find it difficult to want to stay here without their families. The American immigration process is a notoriously difficult one, with several hoops to jump through and qualifications to meet. Unfortunately, even if an individual does everything right and meets all of the stringent eligibility requirements, they may still be denied citizenship in the United States. Because of this, families either spend their entire lives separated by landmass and ocean, or the family member that moved here chooses to return to their homeland.
At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our family-based immigration lawyers believe that an individual should not have to choose between a better life and their family. With over 40 years of experience in helping families from all over the world navigate the United State’s immigration process, our Arlington Heights family-based immigration attorneys are well equipped to help you and your family members tackle whatever immigration issues should come your way. Contact our Arlington Heights, IL immigration law firm to consult with our legal team about what you need to do to reunite with your loved ones.
Who Is Eligible for a Family-Based Green Card?
Fortunately, the United States government understands the need for a close and supportive family unit. Because of this, they allow U.S. citizens to petition for the citizenship of immediate family members. Immediate family members include:
- Spouses, including recent widows and widowers;
- Children of U.S. citizens who are under the age of 21;
- Parents of U.S. citizens if the citizen is over the age of 21;
- Stepchildren and stepparents, if the marriage that created the relationship took place before the child turned 18; and
- Adopted parents/children, if the adoption took place before the child was 16.
Unfortunately, extended family members on not on the eligibility list for family-based green card petitions. Non-eligible family members include:
- Grandparents;
- Cousins;
- Aunts;
- Uncles;
- In-laws;
- Nieces;
- Nephews; and
- Other members of the extended family.
However, many individuals are close with their grandparents, cousins, and other members of the extended family—some more so than they are with their immediate family members. If you would like to help one or more of your extended family members obtain U.S. citizenship, it is going to require extensive planning, and the help of several other family members, but it can be done. Speak with your Arlington Heights family-based immigration lawyer to learn more about how to plan for your extended family’s immigration to the U.S.

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…

I would like to sincerely thank Attorney Justin Burton and PL Kamila Lada for support with my adjustment of status case.

Highly recommend consulting and retaining this firm.
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. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step. Their work ethic was impressive. It felt like they were an extension of my personal team. I can't say enough to convey my gratitude…
Huge thanks to Attorney Matthew for his incredible support on our immigration case! 🙏 He was professional, responsive, and his expertise led to a successful outcome. We truly appreciate his hard work and highly recommend his service.
I’m deeply grateful to God for leading us to this law firm; it is a true blessing to work with such professional and passionate individuals. Their dedication and commitment help make a difficult situation far less traumatic. In our case, we received 100% support from Attorney Andrea Ochoa and paralegal Rafael. May God bless them and allow them to continue this wonderful work. Thank you—a thousand thanks.
I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
