Immigration Services for Lincoln Park Clients
Different immigration matters involve distinct legal standards, documents, and decision-makers. We identify the issues involved before preparing a filing, defense, or litigation strategy.
Family Immigration
We handle petitions and applications involving qualifying family relationships. We evaluate the relationship, immigration history, and requested benefit to determine which forms and supporting records apply.
Employment Immigration
We assist businesses and employees with employer filings, worker eligibility, and classifications connected to employment or professional qualifications. Our services include H-1B visa filings, labor certifications tied to permanent employment sponsorship, and employment-based green card processes.
Citizenship & Naturalization
Naturalization is the process through which an eligible lawful permanent resident applies to become a United States citizen. Robert Milla and Justin Hoefflicker assist with naturalization strategy, application packets, interview preparation, and representation at interviews with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Removal Defense
Removal proceedings are cases in which the government seeks to remove a person from the country. We respond to the government’s case and have represented clients in immigration courts nationwide. Immigration judges conduct these proceedings and decide the issues presented under immigration law.
Asylum
We assist individuals and families seeking asylum in the United States. Some claims are decided by immigration judges during removal proceedings, while the appropriate process depends on the applicant’s circumstances and procedural history.
Visa Applications
Our visa services include H-1B classifications for qualifying professional employment, L-1 classifications for certain intracompany transfers, and EB-1 matters for qualifying priority workers. We also handle family-based and employment-based visa matters.
Federal Immigration Litigation
We handle federal litigation related to immigration matters. This work is distinct from applications before USCIS and removal cases heard by immigration judges.
What to Expect During Your Immigration Case
After you schedule an immigration consultation, we identify your objective, review available records, and determine which immigration issue requires attention. We remain available for in-person meetings and maintain communication as the matter progresses.
Documents for a Visa Consultation
Records help us understand a person’s immigration and employment history. Additional documents may be needed depending on the classification or benefit involved.
Clients should bring the following available materials to a visa consultation:
- Passport
- Previous visas
- Employment letters
- Financial statements
- Correspondence from USCIS
Case Preparation & Filings
Immigration filings require forms and supporting documents that correspond to the requested benefit or defense. After reviewing the matter, we prepare the applicable filing and communicate with the relevant agency as the case progresses. For asylum matters, we begin with a consultation and eligibility assessment, followed by application preparation when appropriate.
Chicago Agencies & Courts
The USCIS Chicago Field Office handles immigration services, while the Chicago Immigration Court conducts removal proceedings. The field office is in downtown Chicago, and we coordinate with area agencies and courts when addressing client matters, including urgent concerns. We also prepare clients for applicable interviews or proceedings.

“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.
