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

Kevin Raica literally saved my life. He helped me out of a dangerous situation that my previous attorney had put me in.

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.

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.

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.
