Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Wisconsin removal cases heard?

Wisconsin has no dedicated immigration court, so removal cases are heard at the Chicago Immigration Court, located at 525 West Van Buren Street in Chicago. Detained hearings may instead be conducted via video from the Kenosha County Detention Center.

How long does a marriage-based green card take in Milwaukee?

Adjustment-of-status cases for spouses of U.S. citizens typically run 10 to 18 months from filing to interview at the Milwaukee USCIS field office. Consular processing from abroad generally runs 12 to 24 months depending on the applicant’s home country.

Can I naturalize with a misdemeanor on my record?

Often yes, but it depends on the offense and the timing. USCIS assesses good moral character during the statutory period (usually five years, or three for spouses of citizens). Certain offenses are permanent bars; an attorney should review the arrest record before filing.
