Immigration and Naturalization Service Chicago
Immigration and Naturalization Service Chicago
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) adjudicates and grants immigration benefits to people who are entitled to stay in the U.S. on a temporary or permanent basis. At Kriezelman Burton, we have experienced immigration attorneys who help clients in the Chicago area to navigate the complex immigration process in obtaining these benefits, which are as follows:
U.S. Citizenship
U.S. citizenship is acquired through a process known as naturalization. This process starts with an eligible person submitting Form N-400 Application for Naturalization. This application, along with supporting documentation, is submitted to the appropriate USCIS office serving the state where the applicant is located or resides.Â
To be eligible for citizenship, one must:
- Be at least 18 years old when filing the application
- Have been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for the past three or five years, depending under which category one is applying
- Have uninterrupted residence and physical presence in the United States
- Be able to speak, write and read basic English
- Have and show good moral character
- Show a knowledge and understanding of basic U.S. history and government
- Show loyalty to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and
- Be willing and ready to take the Oath of Allegiance.
Authorization to Work and Permanent Residency
Many foreigners desire to come to live and work in the United States. To do this, one must first obtain a visa to enter the United States, which allows them to live and work in the country either on a temporary basis or permanently. If one is only interested in coming for a short-term specific job in the United States, they are given a temporary nonimmigrant visa, which corresponds to their qualifications, and whose eligibility they have been able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of USCIS and the Labor Department.
If one is interested in coming to live in the United States permanently, then they will need to apply for a green card. Obtaining a green card is even more complicated and harder to get than a temporary visa in many cases. However, with the help of an experienced immigration lawyer – as we have at Kriezelman Burton & Associates – you can rest easy and be confident about obtaining a green card or any immigration benefit sought. This is because our experienced lawyers know what is required to file a petition or application that is successful in the end.Â
We work with our clients to make sure they have the necessary information and documents but having the necessary information and documents is not enough. Rather, this information and documents must be presented in a manner that makes it easy for an examiner to review and approve without asking for more evidence.Â

I have used their services since 2022, and my experience was great. My own case was successfully finished this year. I want to say Matt and Raf were of great help throughout, and also Jennifer, who attended the interview with me. I would highly recommend their services.
Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Kevin Racia were the attorneys handling a complex immigration case of mine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the remarkable team of Khiabett Osuna, Brittani Rivera, and Rafael Rodriguez, who were responsible for the successful release from detention of one of our parishioners, husband and father of four, after over 10 weeks of incarceration.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time. I was in detention for 6 months, and thanks to her hard work and filing a habeas corpus petition, I was finally released. In addition, when I was released, ICE did not return my documents. Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
My aunt was recently detained by ICE and sent to El Paso, Texas to the East Montana Detention Facility. This place is essentially a prison in the middle of the desert, and the majority of the detainees here get deported. My family and I interviewed a dozen immigration attorneys around the country to help my aunt, and we decided to hire Kevin Raica, an attorney with Kriezelman Burton and Associates.…
