Wheeling Immigration Lawyers

Wheeling Immigration Attorneys with Over Four Decades of Experience Resolving Immigration Legal Issues

Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), the U.S. is currently allowed to accept 675,000 immigrants annually, with certain exceptions for family members and refugees. According to the American Immigration Council, immigration to the United States is based on the following four principles: the reunification of families, admitting immigrants with skills that are valuable to the U.S. economy, protecting refugees, and promoting diversity. Each category is allotted a certain number of individuals, and Congress has established a complicated system for calculating the number of slots available for each category.

Additionally, the U.S. agencies responsible for carrying out immigration law – including U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) – have strict eligibility requirements and stringent application processes that make it difficult for individuals seeking temporary visas or green cards to find success in the U.S.

At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our Wheeling, IL immigration lawyers have a thorough understanding and intricate knowledge of U.S. immigration law, which they use to help individuals achieve a favorable outcome to their immigration case.

Not Retaining the Help of a Wheeling, IL Immigration Attorney Can Have Adverse Consequences

Many individuals attempt to go through the immigration process on their own, but because of the complexity of U.S. immigration law, are often denied their request for citizenship based on a number of factors, including inaccurate information and ineligibility. An adverse administrative or judicial determination regarding your immigration application can mean being barred from the U.S. entirely or even deportation. If you were in the U.S. on a work visa, mistakes regarding your visa application could result in substantial civil fines or even criminal penalties. Because of the serious consequences that come with immigration-related mistakes, it is best to avoid those mistakes altogether and retain the help of a knowledgeable and skilled immigration attorney.
