Frequently Asked Questions
What does an immigration attorney do?
An immigration attorney guides individuals, families, and businesses through the U.S. immigration system — preparing visa and green card applications, representing clients in immigration court, handling appeals, advising on compliance, and resolving status issues. At Liberum Law, we cover all major immigration categories: work visas, family-based petitions, investment-based visas, employment-based green cards, asylum and deportation defense, and naturalization.
Do I need a lawyer for my immigration case?
For routine renewals or simple cases, you may file without representation. For most petitions — work visas, employment-based green cards, asylum, removal defense, waivers, and any case involving prior denials or criminal history — an attorney significantly improves your odds and prevents errors that lead to denials or delays. USCIS denial rates are higher for self-filed cases.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost?
Every case has its own specifics. Our experienced attorney will evaluate your case and provide a detailed quote. Contact us today for a detailed case evaluation.
How long do immigration cases take?
Timelines depend entirely on the category and USCIS backlogs. Immediate-relative green cards typically take 12–18 months; H-1B cases follow the annual cap cycle; family preference categories may take 2–10+ years; asylum applications run 2–5 years in the current backlog. We provide realistic timelines specific to your case at the consultation.
Can you handle cases outside Illinois?
Yes. Immigration law is federal, and we represent clients before USCIS service centers, U.S. embassies, immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal circuit courts nationwide. Most of our matters are handled remotely with secure document exchange and video consultations.
