Mike is the best immigration lawyer and the LGBTQ representation in Chicago. I am so glad to him for accepting my gay asylum case and to be my Pro-Bono lawyer. He has a great ability to analyze the facts and give you the best solution. I am impressed with the way he and his staff treated me. They are... very polite and genuine. Mike, Michaela and his staff gave the individual attention to my case. Though I am 3 hours drive away from Chicago, it wasn't a problem for him. We communicated over the phone and through emails. We both worked very hard and finally, it paid off. My gay asylum case got granted. If Mike approves your case, that means you are in safe hands!

We found Mike through an online search to find representation for my wife's case which was extremely complicated. Previously, we were starting the process with an attorney who's staff was incredibly rude and we dropped them immediately upon meeting Mike Jarecki and his team. With Mike and his team, w...e were treated with the utmost respect throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions and to support us through the process for my wife's permanent residency application. We had great success during the immigration interview; Mike was cool, calm and collected while answering some of the questions that were being asked by the immigration officer. He spoke up on our behalf when we needed him to and we always felt supported and safe under his representation. Thank you Mike and Cris for your immense support and professionalism throughout this very sensitive process. You have truly changed our lives and we will never forget your kindness and support. From beginning to end, we completed our entire process and were approved within 100 days. Thank you!

Mike and team came to the rescue in what I considered a very devastating situation. My then fiancé now wife, was detained when trying to enter the country. Mike put everything into perspective and gave us different options on how to approach this. He worked with us and helped us prepare for worse cas...e scenarios. My wife ended up having her K-1 Visa approved and was able to come to the US! I will forever be grateful for the wonderful service provided by Mike and his team. The absolute most professional, efficient, knowledgeable and accessible team to work with.

Mike is incredibly diligent, intelligent, and compassionate, and I would recommend him to anyone in need. My then-fiancee and I were working to have her K1 visa application approved, and then to have our petition for permanent residence interview go smoothly. We had been working with a disintereste...d, absent-minded lawyer when first putting together our visa application, so when it came back with a request for more evidence, I wasn't certain that hiring a lawyer was the right decision. However from the first time we spoke on the phone, Mike set every concern at ease. He is incredibly professional and ensures that every detail is considered, and coached us in a way that truly empowered us. He inspired an honest sense of confidence, one that inspired us throughout every step. He and his team were available to answer questions whenever they arose (and continues to do so!), and always in the friendliest, most thoughtful way. Our revised, streamlined application had a clearer sense of purpose and flow, because Mike truly cared about us and took the time to get to know us and our story. Once we neared the interview portion, he proved essential in helping us know what to expect and to feel confident and prepared. My wife has since received her green card and we are so thankful to Mike for helping make it all happen. I couldn't recommend him and his office enough. They are consummate professionals, but also brilliant, caring people.

Before I decided to hire Mike and his team I did three consultations with three other attorneys. All of them wanted to accept my case but not even looking into my aplication. Every attorney before Mike told me that they would acept my case and help me with but when it comes to an interview they can'...t do anything over there. I am gonna be on my own even if they gonna be with me. During the interview, immigration officer (IO) cut me couple of times while I was answering his questions not letting me to finish so, he kinda like make me to feel a lIttle bit inconvinient. At some point Mike told to an IO very politely that he should let me to talk and finish my answers. IO aplogize and since than I had time to talk as much as I want and thought it's necessary. At the end of my interview Mike end up with the final statement that in my opinion had huge positive influence on the outcome of my interview. Big thank you to Mike and his team once again. They were really different than others in positive way.
