The U.S. immigration process is a complex maze of laws, rules, and regulations that one must wade through before getting anything done. Nearly everyone who goes through the immigration process expresses some level of confusion or frustration. For those in violation of the law, the process is even more daunting. To successfully navigate through this complex immigration system, you can count on the best immigration lawyers in Chicago found at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC.
The U.S. immigration system can be divided into two broad categories: obtaining immigration benefits such as a travel or work visa or fighting for your life to fend off deportation from the United States if you have overstayed your authorized period or you otherwise do not have valid immigration status.
U.S. immigration benefits fall into two broad categories: employment-based immigration and family-based immigration.
There are various ways noncitizens can become lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) through employment. These employment-based categories include:
If you are a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident, you can petition the government to allow your relatives to be given a green card. However, not all relatives qualify, and for those who qualify, the period of waiting to get a green card varies from about two years to more than 15 years for certain relatives.
To have a relative petition approved by the government, one must file a petition that is supported by the following:
If you are in the United States without valid immigration status, you may find yourself placed in removal or deportation proceedings. These are proceedings where the government tries to have you deported from the United States for being here illegally. Fortunately, even those facing deportation have rights under U.S. immigration laws. An experienced deportation lawyer such as the ones we have at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC can help you successfully defend against deportation.
