When someone does not live in the United States and wishes to move to America, he or she must first secure an immigrant visa to apply for entry. This process has many challenges and is extremely complex. Before even applying for a visa, a person must first qualify for an immigrant classification, of which there are many. In order for an immigrant visa application to be successful, a person must meet all of the many requirements and abide by the many rules. These also vary depending on the type of immigrant visa for which the person is applying.Â
Too often, visa applications are denied, mostly due to the fact that individuals applying for them do not always understand the many requirements and procedures. To ensure this does not happen to you when you apply for your visa, you should speak to a Skokie visa lawyer.
There are many different types of visas you can apply for if you wish to live in the United State permanently. They include:
Each of these have different requirements, and the procedures are also slightly different for each. A Skokie visa attorney will explain all of the differences, as well as the type of visa for which you may qualify.Â
Just as the requirements and procedural rules for the different immigrant categories differ, so too do the timelines for obtaining different visas.Â
Immigrant visas that are family-based are typically the quickest to be approved. Employment-based visas can also be granted quickly, although these are sometimes held up if a certification has to be obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor. When that is the case, the processing times for the varying regional offices differs greatly.Â
The visas that take the longest time, unsurprisingly, are those that have the most requests. This creates a backlog in the system, which means you will have to wait until the many other applications are processed before seeing movement on yours.Â
Although not all visa applications present challenges, many do. When that happens, it is most often due to any number of factors. These include:
When submitting an application on your own, all of these mistakes are easy to make. A Skokie visa attorney will help you fill out your application so you have the best chance of receiving a positive answer as soon as possible.Â
Clearly, even the smallest of mistakes can lead to your visa application being denied. Do not let that happen to you. At Kriezelman, Burton & Associates, LLC, we are the diligent Skokie visa attorney that will help you fill out your application completely and accurately. We will advise you of any procedural rules you must follow, so you have the best chance of a successful outcome. This process is too important to leave to chance.

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. Their dedication and commitment help make a difficult situation far less traumatic. In our case, we received 100% support from Attorney Andrea Ochoa and paralegal Rafael. May God bless them and allow them to continue this wonderful work. Thank you—a thousand thanks.
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.
