I am a software and research engineer, who works for one of the major US public universities. Last year I successfully applied for National Interest Waiver (NIW) Green Card with the help of Bill and his law firm. What I liked about working with Bill and his assistants is that they were trying to kee...p things straight and simple for me as a client during the whole process. Another great thing about Bill is that he is able accurately evaluate client's chances for a successfull case before taking it, which tells me that he is very experienced immigration lawyer and a honest person, and it is really important for him to keep a good track record of positively resolved cases. Also I'm grateful to Bill and Rob that they were patient and supportive, when things became a bit complicated because of time constraints. Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet and thank Bill personally, because I live in a different city and Bill handled my case remotely via e-mails and phone (By the way, there were no communications related problems at all because of that). His services worth every penny I paid to him. I guess you can find cheaper, but it would be hard to find better and IMHO immigration matters are not the thing, where you would want to save few bucks and put your immigration status in US at risk. Bottom line: My application was submitted to INS last summer and I received Green Card in less than 3 months after that. Probably that was not a record time for NIW cases, but me and my friends and colleagues were extremely impressed. There is no question for me now, who I will ask first to handle any of my future immigration issues.

Prior to meeting Bill, I was referred to another immigration lawyer who apparently had as much knowledge of our immigration procedure as we did. She filled us with fear and dread, gave us no meaningful info and offered no course of action, then billed us for wasting OUR time. Enter Bill; he assess...ed our situation and laid out multiple possible courses of action, including their consequences. Bill, Yllka and Olga were honest, and kept us on track and informed at every step. We were especially thankful to them for keeping us on track, considering our busy schedule and us not being able to devote enough time to our immigration issue (not to mention the constantly changing immigration policies that kept impacting our case). We were also thankful for their personable and friendly demeanor. Worth every penny!

Bill Schiller is an outstanding immigration lawyer and absolute expert in different aspects of immigration law (e.g. National Interest Waiver/Extra Ordinary Ability, Immigration thru family and Asylum). I HIGHLY recommend Bill Schiller. I hired him first in 2002 and he is now handling my naturalizat...ion case. Since I first worked with him, I have followed friends and family members (including my sister) who worked with Mr. Schiller in different cases and they have all been very satisfied with his extremely professional work. I have seen his work in particularly complicated cases like VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), National Interest Waiver and several asylum cases (based on religion and sexual orientation). He has always impressed me not only with his knowledge of the immigration law but also in the background of each immigration category. I am a physician scientist and find it amazing how much he knows about the research in this field and I assume it is from all the cases he handles for other scientists. He knows the country conditions for asylum cases very well and has handled many cases successfully. I am sure there are other knowledgeable attorneys out there but what sets him apart is that he handles each case as if he is handling a case for his own family member. He goes thru the emotions with you and understands them. He is extremely ethical and always makes sure the case he is accepting and representing is a legitimate case. Bill is therefore very well respected in the field and in fact teaches asylum course at the Northwestern University as an adjunct professor. Money is never the most important thing for him. His fees are reasonable and he is very flexible. His staff and other lawyers who work with him are all very nice and knowledgeable. I have talked to his business partner, Mr. Davidson, another top Chicago lawyer. Unlike most lawyers, Bill Schiller is very approachable. I even called him once on a weekend when I was stuck at the US border! I know that he handles case throughout the country and flies to all different offices to represent the cases. So, he is not just the top Chicago Immigration lawyer. He is the top US immigration lawyer as well as a human right activist and a great teacher.

Bill Schiller of Davidson and Schiller handled our family immigration petition for obtaining a Green Card as highly trained professionals under the NIW (National Interest Waiver) category. Bill came highly recommended by my husband’s international colleagues – scientists working at Fermi National Lab...oratory - as an immigration attorney with high standards, good business practice and high success rate in resolving immigration petitions. My husband and I are both scientists, and at the time we met Bill we were both post-doctoral researchers. Bill met with both of us, assessed our backgrounds and CVs and made the right recommendation on how to proceed about our immigration intentions. He was very open, sincere and upfront about our case’s chances of approval, as well as about the total cost down the line (attorney fees and government fees). He carefully explained the application and provided his best estimate about the timeline for this process. In fact, his policy was not to take on an immigration case if the chances of a positive outcome were slim. We interacted with Bill and the legal aides at his practice for more than a year and we always had a pleasant experience: communication by phone and e-mail was fast and professional, he was always reachable, the turn-around time for generating documents from his office was fast and we were kept informed at all times about the progress. His billing practice is open and fair and compared with other offices the fees are lower. Bill was personally involved in handling our case from the beginning until the approval of our petition. We obtained our Green Cards on December 2008. Bill really made a difference as he cared not only about the case but also about our family. I believe that it is his personal involvement in his cases that make him very successful. We continue to keep in touch with Bill and sometime we approach him with various immigration questions. He always takes time to talk with us and to answer our questions. We will definitely retain Bill for help with our naturalization process. I am strongly recommending Bill and his practice for all your immigration issues.

I have worked with Bill Schiller for the last 10 years. He has seen me through the stages of B1 (tourist) to F1 (student) to H1B (work) and onto a permanent resident status. Unlike other lawyers, Bill took a personal interest in my case and was actively involved all the way through. His billing pract...ices were fair and clear. Him and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that my case was handled in the most timely and cost efficient manner possible. Bill has also worked with my family's case spanning 2 decades. I cannot recommend him enough. He understands the little nuances and the anxiety that comes with being an immigrant and going through the various legal channels. He served, not only as my legal counsel, but also provided much needed reassurance in my most anxious of moments. Bill and his staff made the entire filing process worry free. He took care of all the deadlines, stayed in touch throughout the process and explained every little detail. Bill and his staff were easily reachable and were always there to address every question and concern I had. In an era of uncertainty and ever changing immigration laws, you need someone you can trust and depend on. Bill and his team are just the ones to work with!
