Asylum

We understand that, as a refugee or asylum seeker, you fear for your own safety and the safety of your family members. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants refugee and asylum protection in the United States to foreign nationals who suffer persecution or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a protected social group. Our asylum lawyers have years of experience helping refugees and asylum seekers obtain protection in the United States.

Citizenship

Our naturalization lawyers have helped countless people throughout Chicagoland and the Dallas, TX area realize their dreams of becoming United States citizens. If you are a green card holder (lawful permanent resident) who wants to become a naturalized citizen, our immigration law firm can help. We will assist you in assembling documentation, preparing for the naturalization interview and the U.S. government and history tests, and we’ll guide you through the legal process to avoid processing mistakes and unnecessary delays.

Relief from Removal

Our removal defense lawyers have significant experience helping foreign nationals who have been taken into custody and are facing removal from the United States. We help people who may be in the country illegally to petition for, obtain, and maintain the appropriate visa documentation or an adjustment to status, so they may get relief from removal and lawfully remain in the United States.

Administrative and Judicial Review

If you are subject to deportation proceedings, there are various administrative and judicial review processes that apply.

“It was very difficult for me to be separated from my husband while he was overseas waiting for the processing of his immigration papers at the U.S. embassy. My attorney made the process move quicker than I anticipated by being on top of it and making sure the documents were completed properly and efficiently. I was never kept in the dark and updated frequently. We will be back to ImmigrationJD as soon as my husband is ready to file for citizenship”.
