Richard Hanus

Richard Hanus is an extremely knowledgeable and professional Immigration attorney. He represented me in my transition from permanent resident to U.S. citizen. Richard and his staff put me at ease through the entire process and responded to my questions and concerns diligently. I would recommend Richa...rd's services to anyone requiring an Immigration attorney,

Mr. Hanus has been by far the best immigration attorney I have ever dealt with. Prior to hiring his services I sat down with different attorneys at different firms but he was the one to give me the confidence I needed from an attorney. He was very knowledgeable, reliable, honest and straightforward w...hich to me is very important. His staff was also very helpful. I would definitely recommend his services.

We have worked with Richard on several occasions for Executive/ Work Visa's processing and other Business related visa topics. Besides being very knowledgeable on Visa guidelines/requirements, processes and timelines, he was a pleasure to work with. We will continue to use Richard for our visa ne...eds in the future.

I reached out to attorney Richard Hanus after receiving a denial in my adjustment of status case that would have resulted in a PERMANENT BAR to immigrating to the United States as a permanent resident... I had parted ways with an attorney with whom I was dissatisfied, and only fourteen calender days ...left to my appeal deadline. I was in DIRE NEED for a GREAT ATTORNEY. Thankfully, I stumbled upon an article about Mr. Hanus winning a case for a client at the 7th circuit court of appeal, after several denials, and many years of heavy litigation, for a similar charge. I called him right away... He gave me several avenues available to me, given the facts of my case, and suggested one he felt would have the best outcome. He proceeded to build an air tight defense with documentary evidence on my behalf, and then submitted the timely appeal to USCIS. Unfortunately, after a six month wait, my appeal was denied. Attorney Richard Hanus presented all the avenues available for me to pursue further action. As always, he suggested one he felt would have the best outcome for me, and then aggressively fought on my behalf. Meanwhile, my spouse landed a great job across the country, an opportunity we could not afford to miss. Unfortunately, moving from one jurisdiction to another is considered the worst possible thing to do when one has a pending adjustment of status case. At least this was the general sentiment among my immigrant friends in Chicago. Attorney Richard Hanus advised us to move, he urged me not to put my life on hold even in the face of the great uncertainty I was feeling due to my case. We moved, my spouse and I thought we were truly done for... Two weeks after making the possible worst decision for any individual with a pending case, moving jurisdictions, attorney Richard Hanus convinced USCIS to reverse the denial on my case. I received a letter to appear at a finger print appointment in Chicago in under a week. Attorney Richard Hanus contacted USCIS and had them re-issue a new order for me to appear at a location nearby my new residence, a very big problem averted in a timely manner. A day after my finger print appointment, I received a letter instructing my spouse and I to appear for a second interview. In a move to save us money, attorney Richard Hanus prepared us for the appointment via email and phone. Generally, it costs a fortune to hire a new attorney and/or having one travel across the country to represent a client at a hearing in person. Attorney Richard Hanus was confident that we would have a positive experience at the second interview appointment... The interview went well, and six weeks after the cross country move, I received a case update from DHS that my case was approved. I AM A NEWLY MINTED PERMANENT RESIDENT!!! Like I said at the beginning; there are lawyers, and then, there are GREAT LAWYERS. Attorney Richard Hanus is a GREAT LAWYER. At every turn along my journey to becoming a permanent resident, he presented well thought out possible avenues for further action, and specifically led me down the one he felt was best, given the facts of my case. He was always responsive and sensitive to the various anxiety provoking scenarios I encountered throughout the entire process. If you need legal help regarding an immigration case, please retain the services of attorney Richard Hanus. You will have a representative fighting for you at every turn, and making sure that all the possible avenues to reaching your desired goal are fully explored.
