Immigration Law is Complex and Confusing

The post-9/11 need for border security and our changing political climate have made immigration law increasing complex, especially for non-lawyers. The immigration process can be arduous and time-consuming. Failing to complete the correct forms, submit the right documents, or follow the correct procedures can result in significant delays and jeopardize your immigration status. 

The process can be intimidating for most people. An experienced Chicago immigration attorney can help you successfully navigate the law and the immigration process.
