I am URGENTLY looking for an immigration attorney in Chicago area to discuss potential change in employment and its ramifications on the greencard processing. I would appreciate your sharing any names, addresses, telephone nos. and e-mails of reputable attorneys. Some information about myself:

1. Currently working on H1B visa in Corporate Finance in a large tech. co. in San Jose, CA
2. Current employer has filed for Labor Certification under regular process (i.e., going nowhere)
3. Have been tentatively offered a job in a similar function in Chicago area
4. The Chicago firm is a startup (~1 year old) in the financial services industry
5. The Chicago firm has no experience in immigration issues but is willing to do all it takes to get the process rolling

Many thanks in advance.

FYI, this is Federal law, so the immigration lawyer that you choose doesn't have to be physically anywhere near you, not even in the same State, unless you are facing the occasional unusual situation that requires a personal appearance by the lawyer before immigration authorities. You can do everything by phone, fax, email, and snailmall.

Thanks for your response. I am aware of the fact that immigration laws are federal in nature. My intention to work with a Chicago-area attorney stems from the desire that this third try at L/C is not screwed up. Given that my potential employer has no experience in immigration matters, geographic proximity would allow me to be on top of issues if anything goes awry.
