   Next schedule an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. Our office can help you sort out your immigration future by spending enough time to understand and express a plan based upon your specific situation. We are in Chicago near the USCIS.

   This is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.

   Marriage fraud is a lifetime bar to any immigration benefits.
