Common Family Immigration & DACA Questions
We guide our clients through every phase of their complex family-based immigration issues. The following answers can help you understand what to expect before your initial consultation with Gilliam Law.
If you’ve married a U.S. citizen but are undergoing removal proceedings, you can still seek a green card. However, your case must be coordinated between USCIS and the Chicago Immigration Court. A high degree of procedural knowledge is required to ensure your adjustment of status is handled by the correct authority while protecting you from deportation. An experienced immigration advocate is vital for managing this dual-track process and securing your future.
In 2026, missing a DACA deadline puts you at immediate risk. Any lapse in status can trigger enforcement actions under current federal directives. Addison residents fall within the jurisdiction of active local enforcement zones. Filing early and maintaining your work permit and lawful presence are essential. Gilliam Law prioritizes timely filings to make sure your role as the provider for your family continues without issue.
Many people who enter the U.S. without inspection worry they will have to leave the country for years to fix their immigration status. In some cases, this can be avoided. The I-601A provisional waiver may allow you to address these issues from within the country, but the process hinges upon proving that your absence from the country would cause extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen spouse or parent. We specialize in documenting these hardships to clear your path to a green card without risking a long separation from your dependents.
If you have recently moved to the Addison area and have a pending case elsewhere, you must file a "Motion to Change Venue" to have your hearings moved to the Chicago Immigration Court. Failing to update your address or move your venue can lead to an "in absentia" deportation order if you miss a hearing. We handle the logistical transfer of your legal records to ensure your case is heard locally, your rights are protected, and nothing vital is overlooked.
