I am a partner in the immigration and nationality law practice of Davidson & Seseri, LLC. It was my own immigration to the United States as a ten-year-old child, and my experience as my husband's immigration sponsor that attracted me towards a career in immigration defense.
I joined Davidson and Schiller as a case manager in 2009 and stayed on as an attorney following my graduation from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2010. In February 2017, I had the great privilege of creating a new legal practice alongside my long-time colleague and mentor, Mark Davidson.
As an attorney with Davidson and Seseri, I concentrate on family based immigration, removal defense, and asylum. Additionally, I have extensive experience with Religious Worker petitions, VAWA, U visa, J-1 waivers and INA 212(e) issues, Waivers of Inadmissibility, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband, daughters, and extended family.

extremely caring and insightful attorney
Before we met Yllka which was 10 years ago we went to few immigration attorneys they all let us file for naturalization only to back off at the last moment before the interview. It was a very difficult case. She was upfront with our case and told us to wait which showed she actually cared for my case...

She’s an excellent immigration attorney!!!
I had been denied a green card renewal and had also been put in deportation proceedings (which led to years of battling this immigration issue). My former immigration attorney was nowhere near as good as Yllka. She helped me to get my green card back and to get me my citizenship. My husband and I ca...
