Michael D. Baker

I engaged Mike to represent me and guide me through my I-485 Adjustment of Status (through marriage to a US citizen), I-601 waiver, I-765 Employment Authorization, and I-130 petition. It was a long and often challenging process, complicated by several circumstances beyond our control. I initially ...filed in May 2024, received my employment authorization in October 2024, and was finally granted my Green Card in August 2026. Throughout those 27 months, there were numerous hurdles, including Requests for Evidence (RFEs), additional documentation, and multiple immigration medical examinations due to the length of time involved. What truly set Mike apart was his diligence, attention to detail, and proactive approach. From meticulously cataloguing evidence and ensuring we submitted the strongest possible application, to anticipating potential issues before they arose, Mike was always one step ahead. One particular example was his recommendation to obtain a fresh medical examination because the previous one was over two years old. Rather than waiting for USCIS to issue another RFE, we addressed the issue proactively, potentially avoiding yet another delay. I firmly believe it was this thorough preparation and attention to detail that contributed to my Green Card ultimately being approved without the need for an interview. Navigating the US immigration system can be a daunting, frustrating, and emotionally exhausting experience, but having someone as knowledgeable, diligent, and committed as Mike in your corner makes an enormous difference. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone embarking on this journey. His professionalism, dedication, and proactive approach were invaluable throughout the entire process.

Michael performed top level work on my immigration case through prompt communication and high level professionalism. He performed extensive research into my case and looked at all of the details and facts when making his decisions. I was prepared for an unpleasant experience, but Michael made the wh...ole processes very painless and easy. He was able to explain complex legal concepts on a level that I was able to understand and was always there for me when I had any questions or needed explanations. I would highly recommend his services since he is very skilled and his fees were very reasonable.

If you have any questions regarding immigration, you have to get in touch with The Law Offices of Michael D. Baker.

His bilingual skills are a huge plus which allow individuals to comfortably discuss their case. His work and ethical values speak volumes and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Michael Baker is an amazing attorney. My husband had somewhat of a difficult immigration case and Michael helped us through the rest of the process. I am used to hearing that clients are rarely able to speak to their attorney when needed but in our case we spoke to Michael Baker directly every single... time. He answered every single one of our question promptly whether it was by email or phone and was very helpful in explaining every single detail. I recommend him to anyone that is looking to adjust their immigration status. He sincerely cares about the people he is trying to help and that makes the experience easier to go through. Thanks to him, hard work and knowledge now my husband is a permanent resident in the U.S.

After 2 lawyers who all had empty promises and no effort, we found Mike Baker through Avvo. My case was no ordinary one . After my conditional residency was terminated and my case was moved to the removal proceedings we hired Mike. Mike stood with us for more then 5 years. He is very patient and ma...kes sure that we are up to date on his approach with regular meetings , calls and emails .His methodology is great. The first step was getting the I 130 approved and he got that approved the day of interview. I believe the first and most important step of I 130 could have never got approved without Mike. Next step was getting the removal proceedings terminated. It wasn't easy but Mike is no ordinary lawyer, he knows the ins and outs of the immigration system and he got that terminated. Finally the i485 which took a while as the Chicago office was backed up but he got my green card. It took 5 years, but if he says he can do it , he will. (not like those other fake lawyers who just want ur money) . Don't even hesitate or look around. THIS IS YOUR LAWYER . Thanks Mike for everything .
