Who is Eligible to Pursue the U.S. Immigration Process?

At Kasturi Law, LLC, our Naperville immigration and nationality law attorney knows there is a lot of confusion about who is eligible to become a U.S. citizen, especially if they are already in the country looking for a new life or escaping danger.

This may include but is not limited to, family-sponsored immigration where:

  • S. citizens sponsor certain family members for immigration, including spouses, parents, siblings, and married and unmarried children.
  • Lawful permanent residents —Green Card holders — sponsor spouses and unmarried children.
  • S. Citizens sponsor their fiancée, a foreign national, to enter the United States to get married.

Our dedicated Naperville immigration attorneys also assist individuals and families seeking refugee or asylum status, U Non-Immigrant Visas for crime victims, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) cases that allow abused immigrants to submit a petition to stay in the United States without having to rely on their abusive Citizen or LPR sponsor, and other complex cases where the obstacles may seem too challenging to overcome.

Am I Required to Hire an Illinois Immigration Attorney to Gain U.S. Citizenship?

No federal or state law requires immigrants to partner with an immigration attorney to navigate the legal process successfully. However, as a first-generation immigrant, our skilled attorney, Shobhana R. Kasturi, knows the value of having an experienced legal guide by your side to navigate the process.

In fact, Shobhana’s experience — standing directly in the same place you are now — is why she became an Illinois immigration and nationality law attorney. We understand that even in some of the most clear-cut cases where eligibility and qualifications for immigration are straightforward, without significant complications or challenges, the application and filing process and overall experience can be intimidating, causing considerable stress and anxiety that can quickly become overwhelming.

At Kasturi Law, LLC, we remove the legal complications from the equation — for straightforward cases and complex cases involving waivers and appeals — so our clients understand they have a steadfast advocate who knows that immigration approval means everything to their livelihood.

Our Naperville immigration attorney represents clients throughout Illinois and surrounding states and seeks federal approvals by:

  • Providing a detailed analysis of all potential immigration options and guiding our clients down the proper path.
  • Thoroughly compiling all the necessary forms for your specific immigration category, supporting documents, affidavits, and additional information that applicants need to submit to the relevant immigration authorities so no detail is left to chance.
  • Remaining in close contact with our clients, offering emotional and psychological support during the application response period.
  • Preparing our clients for interviews to ensure they can provide more details or clarify their background, education, work experience, family relationships, and other factors relevant to their immigration category.
  • Responding to any potential requests for evidence or Notices of Intent to Deny when necessary.

At Kasturi Law, LLC, our Naperville immigration attorney is personally committed to being a trustworthy legal partner for each of our clients and will be here, standing by your side, throughout the immigration process.

Frequently Asked Questions For Our Immigration Attorney In Naperville, Illinois

Your specific immigration category will define the supporting documentation you need to complete the application. However, some of the most common elements that apply to everyone include, but are not limited to:

  • Identification Documents
  • Photographs
  • Proof of Eligibility
  • Financial Documents
  • Health Examination
  • Criminal Background Check
  • Affidavits and Sworn Statements
  • Family Relationship Documents

At Kasturi Law, LLC, our immigration lawyer in Naperville knows our clients are anxious to get through the legal process so that they can confidently move forward with their lives. However, the duration of the immigration process can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of immigration category, the complexity of the case, the specific immigration program or visa, and the caseload and processing times of the immigration authorities. We ensure each of our client’s applications is thoroughly submitted, cutting no corners, so our clients have the path of least resistance to obtaining legal immigration status. This process does not happen overnight, but we assure you it will be right from the start, and we will keep you updated during each step.

Yes, in certain circumstances, it is possible to change your immigration status while you are in the United States. Changing immigration status is known as “Adjustment of Status.” However, some visa categories may have restrictions, and individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria to be considered for a change of status. Our skilled immigration law attorney in Illinois will advise you as to whether your status change requires departing the U.S. and applying for a new visa or if other solutions fit your unique circumstances.

The ability to appeal depends on the type of immigration application denied. Not all immigration decisions are appealable. Some decisions may only be eligible for reconsideration or a motion to reopen or reconsider rather than a formal appeal. If your case is suitable for appeal, you will generally have the opportunity to file an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), depending on the type of case.

Motions to reopen or reconsider or appeals must be filed within a tight timeframe. Our dedicated immigration attorney can help you understand why your application was denied and how we can help you appeal that decision to pursue the best outcome for your unique circumstances.

Once your immigration application is approved and you become a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), you may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization. The time you must wait before applying for naturalization depends on your circumstances. In most cases, the residency requirement is five years, but it may be shorter for specific individuals, like spouses of U.S. citizens. As your immigration attorney, advocate, and partner in this process, we will provide the naturalization details you need to choose your path going forward.
