Obtaining a green card can be critical for some people, especially if you are the fiancé or spouse of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. In addition, obtaining permanent residency can allow you more freedom in your U.S. employment options. While there are many benefits of obtaining a green card, the process is not a simple one and it is important to have the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney if you want to apply.
The immigration law firm of Kriezelman Burton & Associates assists with green card applications, denials, and renewals in and around Chicago, Illinois. If you need legal help, please contact our office today.
Are You Eligible For a Green Card?
Applying for a green card takes resources, so you should always have a knowledgeable attorney fully evaluate your eligibility prior to taking the time to complete and file an application. The primary eligibility requirement is that you qualify for a particular immigrant category based on your family, employment, refugee or asylum status, or another special category. In addition, you must also be considered “admissible” to the U.S. Some factors that may deem you inadmissible include the following:
- Certain criminal charges or convictions;
- Health conditions that pose a risk to the public;
- Substance abuse or mental illness;
- Activity that presents a national security risk;
- Violations of any immigration laws, such as providing misleading information on documents or illegal entry;
- Concerns that you will be a public charge;
- You are missing application materials;
- You miss appointments with immigration officials.
If you are determined to be inadmissible, first your application for permanent residency will be denied. You may face even more serious consequences in some situations, as immigration officials may decide to revoke your visa and begin removal proceedings against you. For these reasons, it is critical to have a lawyer evaluate your admissibility prior to filing a green card application.

I would like to highly recommend this law firm. My case was handled by Attorney -BRITTNI RIVERA, for me Attorney BRITTNI RIVERA is a SUPERSTAR, when it comes to immigration law. I will not go into details but I will just say this, my case was not a typical case where you only need to know how to fill out USCIS forms, my case was complicated because a few years ago I did something stupid, which made my case even more difficult. Several other lawyers whom I consulted during my case with -KRIEZELMAN&BURTON LAW FIRM, told me that my chances…
I highly recommend Matthew from Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC to get solutions to all immigration related issues. I recommend him, after my five years of association with him. Before meeting Matthew, I had approached three senior immigration lawyers, to resolve my VISA conversion issue (from L2 to F1). All 3 lawyers could not provide any solution to my problem. After this, I met Matthew. He carefully analyzed my issue and immediately suggested a solution. He sounded very confident about his solution and so, I decided to follow his advice. Within a month, my VISA issue was resolved. Next, I…
