Great Legal Immigration Choice!

Working with Milla and Associates was an absolute pleasure! When first meeting Robert, my wife and I knew we wanted to work with him. Robert was professional, transparent, and extremely knowledgeable with the immigration process. From his knowledge, he recommended us to take a certain course of ac...tion. In doing so, this was all the difference with my wife getting her green card or not. From the beginning, his team was professional and worked efficiently & effectively to have us meet mandatory deadlines. While we waited for our interview, his team kept us updated with every major step in the process. Robert put us in the best position possible for us to get our green card and we are forever grateful. We strongly recommend Milla and Associates if you need great legal immigration advice and to be put in the best position possible with obtaining a green card.

Best Immigration Attorney!

Robert Milla is the best attorney I have seen, who helped me get my marriage-based green card after 2.5 years of long waiting. My case was complicated but he perfectly helped me through this long and stressful process. I will share my experience here so that you can understand why I highly recommend ...him and his firm.Before hiring Robert to help us, I had another two attorneys to file my green card application and to terminate my court case. They all turned out to be not too much helpful and waste my time. Initially I had an NTA and need to see the judge. Before the first master hearing I already had my green card interview completed in Chicago and got my I-130 approved. Because of my pending courts case, the immigration officer has no jurisdiction on my I-485 so I need to see the judge and let judge to terminate my court case. The attorney I hired to represent me in court had totally no idea what she’s doing. Not even prepared for my case before entering the court (not prepare the G-28; don’t know which is our judge’s room; worst thing is not even know how to defense my case against government attorney). It was a nightmare. Because of her bad representation, the judge scheduled a second master hearing set for a half year later. This time I reached out to multiple attorneys and see who can help me terminate the court case. Before coming to Robert, all attorneys I have spoken with over the phone were all not confident with my case after I explained my case background. Someone even say that I can not get the green card at all. In addition, they all charge a consulting fee as well if I want to discuss more. I was so frustrated until I met with Robert. He has an hour in person free consultation which allows me to explain my case and get an idea of whether he has any solution on my case (for other attorneys, I need to pay first before I know they can not win my case). Robert didn’t turn me down. After listening my story, he clearly listed several solutions/paths that I can try step by step. He was the first attorney that has confidence on my case. All his explanations were very convincing with strong professional knowledge backed up. My husband and I decided to go with him on my case. On the court date he showed up well-prepared and arrived there early to signed us up first. Before the judge, he was very organized, precessional, powerful and confidently representing me and arguing with the government attorney. Robert exactly represent ed me the scene I can only see in those legal related movies that how a great attorney perfectly expressing legal opinions and defending with evidence. The judge immediately terminated my case and allowed me to file my I-485 with USCIS. Totally different court experience than last one. Things are not done yet. Robert helped me filed a request to reopen my I-485 with the USCIS because it was admin closed previously. Half year no response and Robert actively follow up with USCIS and also get ombudsman involved to help. After several times follow up, we have been informed that my old I-485 has been denied in USCIS system even if the notice they gave me is admin close. Robert then suggested us to file a new I-485 with USCIS but in the mean time still keeping follow up with the reopen one. When I think I may not getting any update within one year due to the current long processing time, good news comes. I received the interview letter regarding my I-485. My two cases has been combined which means all his effort on both reopen and new application are accepted by processed by USCIS. Before the interview, Robert gave us a phone interview preparation, went through every possible questions and helped me on how to answer my previous court case questions. With his assistance, our interview went very well and the immigration office verbally approved my case. Two weeks later I received my then years green card! This is the first time I wrote such a long review. Robert is a really good attorney and I really

Simply the best

I've never written a review regarding anything or anyone in my life and i am in my 40s, but this time i have no choice. He was referred to us by a family member who used his services as simply ( the best immigration attorney in chicago ). Who's got the awards to prove it even at the start of his car...eer, and that he was well liked by everybody who meets him at uscis, including immigration officers. That's what i was told by my family member and believe me i witnessed all that in reality and even during our interview. After reading his reviews, after what my family member told me about Robert, and after dealing with him during almost 4 years of immigration journey and 2 cases that he filed for us. Now i believe that if you are filing any type of immigration case in chicago area and even out of state as well, that you can't find a better choice. Experience, knowledge, respectful to his clients, always keeps you informed and reply to your questions and concerns. But what's most important and special about Robert as a fantastic immigration attorney is that he seems to know and do his job so well, he will never send your file unless it's 100% complete and ready to be approved, reducing or eliminating the possibility of having a request for evidence issued for your case and having to wait endlessly or having your file be left on a dusty shelf for years, but don't think that it takes him long time to file your case, to the contrary he normally will file it on the first possible date as soon as allowed. The other thing that separates him is his presence at the interview, he is likable by the adjudicators and talks to them to your benefit and to make you calm. The truth in my case is that its true maybe i would have gone through my immigration journey on my own even without any attorneys help, or with the help of another attorney but i know for sure it would have been much longer journey, much more costly financially and to the point of maybe affecting my health. Robert filed my i 485 adjustment of status then 21 months after i got my conditional green card, (since the green card was marriage based and the marriage was less than 2 years at time of approval ) he filed i 751 petition to remove conditions on residency. The second case was approved within 6 months without any request for evidence being issued, at a time when its taking 18 to 22 months to get a decision now. We filed late november 2017 and approved 5th of june 2018. Almost impossible but am so happy that it worked out this way. The first case was the same, quick and easy, he was present at the interview which was quick and friendly and shortly after he even gave us the good approval news. Thank you Robert

Great great great!!

Before I had come to see Robert I went to see other 5 immigration attorneys I talked to all of them and most didn’t seem to be well confident in what they were explaining I came to see Robert because one of my uncles had a case with him before and succeed in his case when I went to talk to him he tol...d me step by step on how and when things are going to happen . He was very professional and quick to give answers that we had best immigration attorney I’ve worked with and if I know people in the future who need an attorney I will make sure they go here he is great at what he does he’s confident and will push until you get what you need.

Immigration processing

Expensive but worth every penny. He delivered as promised. There was a lot I had to do to get all my papers in order for him however he built a strong airtight case ensuring my family would stay together.
