Going through the immigration process can often be long and tedious, sometimes taking years to complete. If you are going through the process or are contemplating getting started, then you need the services of experienced lawyers from one of the top immigration law firms in Chicago. Our firm focuses only on the practice of immigration law and knows how to get cases through the system efficiently and without any unnecessary delays. In some cases, we can have matters expedited and obtain quicker approvals of cases than it would normally take.
This is a common question many people ask, and the answer is it depends. While one can certainly Google and find information that can help them file a petition or application to get an immigration benefit, what many find is a case can quickly get complicated and is denied for either a mistake made or something overlooked.
In some cases, one pursuing an immigration matter without the help of an experienced immigration attorney may have their case denied because they misinterpreted and misunderstood instructions they found online.
To avoid all this, it is good to at least consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate the facts and circumstances in your case to determine the best strategy for you to obtain what you seek.
There are many things an experienced immigration lawyer can do for you, including the following:
Before you embark on the immigration process, it is important for your immigration lawyer to know all the relevant information that pertains to your case. When you call or come in for your initial consultation, you will be asked questions and, when necessary, to avail certain documents for your immigration lawyer to fully evaluate your case. Once that is done, the lawyer will devise and inform you of a strategy to obtain the best outcome for your case.Â
Once the evaluation of your case is done, and a strategy is devised, then implementing that strategy will normally be the preparation and filing of required documents with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is a critical stage because USCIS processes a staggering number of petitions and applications in the tens of thousands. For their part, individual USCIS examiners go through a large number of petitions and applications. At Kriezelman Burton, we know how to package a case for easy review and approval by the examiners.
The law provides various appeal mechanisms for cases denied by the USCIS or Immigration Court. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, we have experienced immigration appeal lawyers who can appeal your case if it is denied for reasons we believe are not right or fair. Our belief is we must fight for our clients’ cases to the end with the objective of ultimately getting the best outcome possible.
If you are in the Chicago area and need an immigration lawyer or need answers to your immigration case or issue, contact Kriezelman Burton & Associates today to confidentially discuss your case. We are based in Chicago but also handle cases in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

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.

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.

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…
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
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. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to Brittni Rivera! She literally saved my family. We had been waiting seven years for what she accomplished in just three weeks. I was impressed by how accessible the office is—they always answer calls very quickly. A special thank you to paralegal Nataliia Melnyk. You are my heroes. Thank you.
