Marriage Green Card Prep in Chicago: Bilingual Help for Cook County Couples
How couples in Chicago, Cicero, Berwyn, Aurora, and the rest of Cook County can prepare a complete I-130 + I-485 marriage green card packet remotely with a bilingual document preparation team.
📋 Informational · Not legal advice
MBO Immigration LLC is a document preparation service based in Fairfield, Connecticut, serving clients in all 50 states, including Chicago, Cicero, Berwyn, Aurora, Joliet, Waukegan, Elgin, and the broader Chicagoland area. We are not attorneys.
Chicagoland is home to one of the longest-standing Mexican-American communities in the country. We work with couples across Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, and Kane counties — fully remote.
Why Chicagoland couples choose remote document prep
The Chicago USCIS Field Office processes large volumes of family-based cases. Most Chicagoland couples we hear from have already looked at:
- $4,000–$7,000 attorney quotes for what is, in many cases, a straightforward marriage green card.
- Storefront immigration assistance with limited bilingual depth.
A licensed document preparation service is the third option: a bilingual team that prepares the same packet — at a fraction of the cost — without practicing law.
How the process works
For most Chicagoland couples:
- Free 15-minute consult by video call or WhatsApp.
- Personalized checklist for your specific situation.
- Documents uploaded to a secure portal.
- We prepare I-130 + I-485 + I-765 + I-131 + I-864 with bona fide marriage evidence.
- You sign, mail to the Chicago Lockbox (literally just a few miles from where you live, but USCIS routing is the same nationwide), and we track the case in myUSCIS.

- Joint Catholic / community parish records for many couples.
- Photos at Chicago events (weddings, family gatherings, Bears / Cubs / Bulls games, summer festivals).
