From Our Immigration Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration to Illinois?
Vaccine rules for immigration are set at the federal level by USCIS and the CDC, so Illinois follows the exact same nationwide requirements. Depending on age and medical history, applicants must show vaccination for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus diphtheria pertussis, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type b for children, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus for infants, meningococcal, pneumococcal, and seasonal influenza.
Do you serve clients across Illinois or only in Chicago?
We represent clients statewide, including Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, and communities throughout Illinois.
Can one firm handle family, employment, investor, and waiver issues together?
Yes. Our cross-specialized team coordinates all parts of your case so strategy in one area supports success in the others.
How do consular cases work for Illinois residents?
Consular processing happens through the National Visa Center and a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. We prepare filings and guide you through interviews and document steps wherever you are.
What should I bring to my I 693 medical exam?
Bring a government ID, vaccination records, prior medical records, any lab results that show immunity, and certified translations if needed. We provide a checklist and help you organize everything for the civil surgeon.
