Illinois Driver’s Licenses for Undocumented Immigrants

Illinois, where I live, is among the overwhelming majority of states that issue driver’s licenses to deferred action (DACA) recipients. The state went one step further recently, signing a new law in January 2013 that allows undocumented immigrants to receive Illinois driver's licenses. The license will be valid for three years, and will require training and insurance. It has limits, however, because it cannot be used as identification, for example to purchase a firearm. Backed by Democrats Governor Quinn and Mayor Emanuel, and some of Illinois' prominent Republicans, the law was applauded as a "common sense" approach that is to take effect in October.

  • Fantastic, down to earth legal counsel who gets the job done!

    “After meeting with multiple lawyers, many of whom seemed not to care about the outcome of our case, or left us feeling confused about the process, we finally found Robert. After my initial consultation with him, I left feeling hopeful and assured of the process. My husband is from England, and we had faced many long months apart. With Robert's help, we were finally able to start the process to bring him to the United States. Robert and Daniel were incredibly helpful every step of the way, and never made us feel silly for asking questions. Robert clearly outlined the process for us, so we knew exactly what was happening at each step. Our paperwork was completed in a very timely manner. Incredibly, we had a very short wait for our interview and at that time, Daniel and Robert made sure we were prepared. Robert is extremely trustworthy and tells you exactly how it is, which is so refreshing after being yanked around by other lawyers. My husband received his Legal Permanent Resident card in the mail the other day, and we could not be happier! THANK YOU to Robert and his team for their help! We are so grateful!”

  • Mr. Robert is an amazing, humble and extremely knowledgeable ...

    “Words just cannot express how grateful I'm to Robert Milla for all his efforts and dedication towards my case. It was a very complicated case and I had consulted a lot of attorneys in Chicago who were just not that confident in proceeding with my case. Then I met Robert and his knowledge and determination showed me light when I was almost about to give up. He was confident and Knowledgeable and did a meticulous job with my case especially when ​I had very less time to apply. I'm so relieved and happy that I got my green card within a week of the interview. Mr Robert is an amazing, humble and extremely knowledgeable attorney. He gives a lot of attention to detail. I'll never forget that he helped me when I was most in need of help. It was easy to work with ​Robert and legal assistant Maria. They made the process very smooth and kept me informed throughout the process.​ ​I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous attorney.​ ​I appreciate His genuineness and humbleness. I highly recommend him for all immigration needs and I will definitely use your services again in future.”

  • Justin is Awesome!

    “I highly recommend Milla & Associates, LLC. Our lawyer, Justin was highly qualified. He made the entire process so seamless. I never met him during the entire stage after our first meeting and he was on point with all the documentation and responsible with communication, and best thing, honest advise. He gave me answers that were right and not what I just wanted to hear and there were multiple occasions where this happened. This honest advice meant everything to us. They are very professional and the way our case went by so smoothly, definitely hats off to the work done by Justin and the team. Would recommend 10/10”
