Incredibly insightful and sincere, helped guide us through complicated I-485 case

I only called for a consultation in regards to my pending I-485 case that seems to have been lost by USCIS (we have contacted USCIS over a dozen times, even made an InfoPass appointment, and no one seems to have any answers or is able to contact the officer who interviewed us). I could not remember t...he interviewing officer's name, and Yllka asked a bunch of questions trying to see if she could figure out who it was--and when a name she said rung a bell, she gave us insight that this officer has dropped the ball on other applications as well. Yllka gave incredibly detailed step-by-step instructions for us to follow, telling us it would be more expensive and just as long of a wait if we were to hire her to do what needed to be done and that it would be better to do it ourselves. And if that doesn't work out, she said to come back to her and she can help us. And this was all on a free consultation phone call!!! I left that conversation more hopeful and empowered than I have felt in the last year+ dealing with all of this. She isn't just trying to take more money from you. She genuinely cares and I trust that she helps people even if she isn't being paid to do it. Thank you Yllka for being such an honest and insightful guide. I'm sure you have helped change many lives.

Absolutely fantastic

My wife and I owe our marriage to Yllka; her services were essential in aiding and advising us through the whole strenuous immigration process. We were directed to her office by a good friend of ours at a very stressful time, when it seemed as if the whole world was against us being together, and we ...honestly can't imagine how we would have gotten through the ordeal without her. Not only was she highly dependable and professional but also very personable and kind, and was always a comfort during any times of confusion or uncertainty. All paperwork was filled and sent promptly and concisely, and when it was time for the later interview we felt confident and prepared- all thanks to Yllka's services. Yllka is not just good at her job, but sincerely passionate about helping people.

Best immigration lawyer!

I have consulted with Ms. Yllka Seseri several time regarding my complicated immigration case. She is one of the most helpful lawyers I have consulted with. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and very very good at what she does. She was very helpful in guiding me on what approach to take to ...adjust my status. If it wasn't for Ms. Seseri I wouldn't have been able to resolve my immigration case. I will forever be grateful to her. I would highly recommend her as a lawyer to anyone I know. Definitely one of the best immigration lawyers out there!!

Best Immigration Attorney in Chicago! Keep up the good work!

We have consulted Yllka ever since we first moved to the US to the day my family and I became US citizens. She was recommended by a friend that was currently working with Yllka who always praised her excellent work and professionalism. Yllka was very knowledgeable and efficient. She understood what... needed to get done and was always on point from the very beginning by helping out with reinstating our green cards to the day we received our US passport. She handled all the application processes and was very thorough when going over each and every step. She made us feel that we were in good hands and confident that she was giving 100% on our case. She was always very easy to talk to and very responsive whenever we tried to get a hold of her. We are very thankful of her hard work and will continue to recommend her to family and friends.

Resolving green card issue that i had been dealing with for a long time

My grandfather was having issues reinstating his Green Card due to him falling I'll while he was away from USA this I had to try to figure out with the immigration officer but had no luck for almost 1 year. Then I was referred to Yllka by a friend and she was very accommodating and very responsive t...o any issues that i had with the process. She was able to resolve the issue and have my grandfather's green card reinstated in a matter of one month. Simply put she relieved us all from the headache and confusion of dealing with the immigration office. She is very knowledgeable and very nice person!!!! Absolutely the best!!!!!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
