Immigration Law Practice Areas

01.

Family-Based Immigration

We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in sponsoring family members for green cards, including I-130 petitions, conditional residence removal (I-751), and VAWA protections for domestic violence victims.

02.

Employment-Based Immigration

We guide clients through all stages of employment-based green card applications, including PERM labor certification, National Interest Waivers, and EB-1 extraordinary ability petitions.

03.

Immigration Bail Out

When a non-citizen is detained by ICE, they may request a bond hearing before an immigration judge. An attorney can argue for a lower bond amount — or release on conditions — by presenting evidence of community ties, employment, and family in the U.S.

04.

Removal Proceedings Defense

Removal (deportation) proceedings are initiated when the government seeks to remove a non-citizen from the U.S. Once served with a Notice to Appear (NTA), the individual must attend all immigration court hearings or risk an automatic removal order.

05.

BIA Appeal

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) is the highest U.S. immigration tribunal. If an immigration judge issues an unfavorable ruling, you have 30 days to file a written appeal. The BIA reviews the record and legal arguments — no new hearings are held.

06.

Mandamus

If your immigration application has been pending for years without a decision, a federal Mandamus lawsuit can compel USCIS to act. We have successfully forced adjudications through Mandamus actions for stalled cases.

07.

Immigration Waivers

We assist clients in applying for waivers of inadmissibility, including I-601 and I-601A unlawful presence waivers, criminal grounds waivers, and other grounds of inadmissibility.

08.

Non-Immigrant Visas (B / F / H / L1 / O1)

Non-immigrant visas allow foreign nationals to enter the U.S. temporarily for tourism (B-2), business (B-1), study (F-1), specialty work (H-1B), intracompany transfer (L-1), or extraordinary ability (O-1). Each category has distinct requirements, caps, and timelines.

09.

Transfer / Reinstate

Covers two situations: changing from one non-immigrant visa category to another (e.g., B-2 to F-1) without leaving the U.S., and reinstating F-1 student status after a lapse due to unauthorized work, drops below full-time enrollment, or missed I-20 extensions.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Green card processing times vary significantly by category and nationality. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are typically fastest (12-24 months), while other preference categories may take years due to visa backlogs.

Contact an immigration attorney immediately. Never miss a court hearing. An in absentia removal order can be issued if you fail to appear. YL Law Firm offers emergency consultations — call (312) 937-6666 now.

It depends on your specific situation. Overstays can trigger 3 or 10-year bars to re-entry, but waivers may be available. If you are married to a U.S. citizen or have other qualifying relationships, options may exist. Consult an attorney as soon as possible.

There are several alternatives to H-1B: O-1 extraordinary ability visa, L-1 intracompany transfer, TN visa for Canadian/Mexican nationals, or an EB-2 National Interest Waiver petition. We will evaluate the best option for your background.
