Understanding Family Visa Processes in Chicago
Securing a family visa in Chicago involves navigating several complex legal procedures dictated by both national and local immigration regulations. It's essential to understand that different types of family visas, such as the K-1 fiancé visa or immediate relative visas, each have unique requirements. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) field office in Chicago is a hub for handling such cases, and familiarity with its processes can significantly affect the outcome of your application.
At Milla & Associates, LLC, we assist clients through detailed preparation, including gathering necessary documents and preparing for potential interviews. Our goal is to present a comprehensive and convincing case to USCIS. By leveraging our knowledge of local adjudication trends, we strive to enhance the likelihood of visa approval, offering peace of mind at every stage of the immigration process.

Chicago is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States, with a robust infrastructure that supports immigrants from all walks of life. This multicultural atmosphere provides a welcoming environment and enhances our understanding of various cultural nuances that can be crucial in family visa applications.
The city houses multiple support organizations and community groups that offer resources to immigrant families.

Sponsoring Family Members for Immigration
If you are currently a citizen of the United States, you have the option to petition for a visa for certain family members, based on your relationship to them and the type of visa your family member is seeking. Petitions for Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas are given the highest priority.

“Mr. Milla has a great sense of humor and is an excellent attorney”
Mr. Robert is an excellent lawyer. He represented me in getting my green card back in 2020-2022.My case was such a complicated one as my husband was still waiting on his citizenship and I was in removal proceedings and out of status. He represented us on the day of the interview and also on my court date in immigration court. I got approved the same day after many years of waiting. Mr. Milla has a great sense of humor. Navigating the immigration system is not easy nor funny, but Mr. Milla knows how to ease the situation with a joke here and there, all while providing exceptional services. I am extremely grateful to Milla & Associates for helping me become a permanent resident and be able to work legally, travel internationally and visit relatives abroad. Update to this review, Mr Milla represented me during my citizenship process in winter-spring 2025. I got my citizenship fast and I was confident during the process because I knew I have the best immigration lawyer in Chicagoland by my side. I will forever be grateful to Milla and Associates for helping me become a US Citizen, especially during these crazy immigration times in 2025.- V. B. -
“Thanks to this outstanding support, I am now a U.S. citizen.”
We are immensely grateful for the exceptional services provided by Milla and Associates. During the challenging times of 2020, amid the uncertainties of the Covid pandemic, we were quite anxious about the process and the necessary documents. Justin was incredibly helpful, offering clear instructions and ensuring we were well-prepared for our interview. Thanks to this outstanding support, I am now a U.S. citizen. Milla and associates truly laid the foundation for this significant achievement. Thank you so much for your excellent work!- S. S. -
“I can't express how happy my husband is that they helped us get his green card approval”
I highly recommend this law firm, Eyzuri Segovia Sanchez, more than anything. My husband had faced deportation years ago and had a 5-year ban. During this period, he didn't bother coming to the US. She guided us amazingly because we had the best outcome... his approval. He's now with me in the US. Her legal assistant, Izela Delgado, is also excellent. I can't express how happy my husband is that they helped us get his green card approval.- Y. A. -
“There are not enough words of gratitude that we can express to commend the job well done”
I don’t take leaving reviews lightly and this is a well deserved 5 star review! For context, my wife and I hired Milla & Associates to represent us for my case of adjustment of status via a waiver through marriage process (if you are currently looking to adjust your status, you know how complex of a process this can be). For my case, we had the opportunity to work with Attorney Eyzuri Segovia Sanchez and her legal assistant Izela Delgado, and there are not enough words of gratitude that we can express to commend the job well done. Attorney Eyzuri was professional, well-versed, and very informative throughout the entire process. Overall, the legal team working with us was quick to respond via email, available when needed, reviewed and completed all paperwork required in a smooth, timely manner. I highly recommend hiring Milla & Associates to represent you in your case to work with their highly-skilled team and one of their professional attorneys!- J. A. -
“Provided professional advice”
My wife and I received our green cards last week, and I want to thank Robert's team again. First, they always replied to our emails whenever we had questions, which was very important to me. Second, Robert provided professional advice that helped us make the right decisions. My wife's case was complicated, we feel lucky and blessed to have chosen the right help. Wish everyone luck!- Eric B.
