Chicago, Illinois, Law Firm Giving Immigration Visa, Deportation, Asylum and Permanent Residency Legal Advice
At the Law Office of O’Grady & Associates, we have extensive experience in Illinois immigration matters. We have represented many clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service or INS).
For a FREE phone consultation to discuss your immigration, bankruptcy, personal injury or residential real estate closing with an experienced Chicago, Illinois, lawyer, please call (312) 338-1808.
We represent clients from all parts of the world who need help with employment-based immigration and family immigration, naturalization and green card (technically known as permanent residency) legal advice. We can also represent you if your needs include criminal deportation, asylum, labor certification, adjustment of status and any other type of immigration matter.
**********************************************************
DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY OR ACCEPT A PLEA AGREEMENT WITHOUT CONSULTING AN EXPERIENCED IMMIGRATION LAWYER FIRST — EVEN A GUILTY PLEA TO A SEEMINGLY MINOR OFFENSE CAN JEOPARDIZE YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS!
Even if you have a green card, consult with an immigration attorney BEFORE you travel outside the United States. Otherwise you could cause yourself to be placed in deportation proceedings.
**********************************************************
We can help you and your family obtain the correct family visa, business visa, immigrant visa or work permit from the many alternatives, including:
- B-1/B-2 (temporary visitor for business or pleasure)
- E-1 (treaty trader, spouse and children)
- E-2 (treaty investor, spouse and children)
- EB (employment-based; permanent visa for certain workers and investors)
- H-1B (specialty occupations)
- H-2B (temporary nonagricultural worker)
- IR (spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens)
- K-1 (fiancé/fiancée of U.S. citizen)
- K-3 (spouse of U.S. citizen)
- L-1 (transfer within a company)
- O-1 (temporary worker of extraordinary ability)
- R-1 (nonimmigrant religious worker)
- TN (professionals under the North American Free Trade Agreement [NAFTA])
- V-1 (spouse of a permanent resident)
And of course, there are other visas not listed above that our immigration lawyer can handle. We are also prepared to help with any immigration-related difficulties once you are in the United States, and we are willing to represent you in immigration court. If the Department of Homeland Security has detained you or if you face a removal (criminal deportation) proceeding, we are willing to do all we can to protect you. We have experience with individuals facing the consequences of guilty pleas to criminal matters they thought would never be an immigration problem.
Be Sure to Hire a Qualified Immigration Lawyer
Above all, know that immigration law is complex, and you are best served when you hire a competent immigration lawyer to handle your case. Many people try and save money by doing it themselves or by hiring a notario and/or a nonlawyer service provider. But you get what you pay for. Most notarios and nonlawyer service providers do not understand the complexities of immigration law and often make fatal errors. For example, we often see people who find themselves in deportation proceedings because the notario or nonlawyer service provider didn’t understand the law and made a fatal error in the client’s case. We also see people who tried to fill out the forms themselves, only to make one small mistake that caused irreparable damage.
Remember, you get only one chance to get it right when it comes to immigration benefits. For a small investment in a qualified immigration lawyer, you could have a much greater chance of reaching your immigration goals. The future of you and your family in this country is too important for anything less than the solid, experienced representation from a good immigration attorney.
If there is a legitimate, lawful way to help you with your immigration matter, we will help you find it. We offer free initial phone consultations to determine if we can help you or your family with their immigration matter. Call us at (312) 338-1808 or fill out our intake form located on our Contact Us page today. We want to help you.
