About

I am a partner in the immigration and nationality law practice of Davidson & Seseri, LLC. It was my own immigration to the United States as a ten-year-old child, and my experience as my husband's immigration sponsor that attracted me towards a career in immigration defense. I joined Davidson and Schiller as a case manager in 2009 and stayed on as an attorney following my graduation from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2010. In February 2017, I had the great privilege of creating a new legal practice alongside my long-time colleague and mentor, Mark Davidson. As an attorney with Davidson and Seseri, I concentrate on family based immigration, removal defense, and asylum. Additionally, I have extensive experience with Religious Worker petitions, VAWA, U visa, J-1 waivers and INA 212(e) issues, Waivers of Inadmissibility, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.   Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband, daughters, and extended family.

I only called for a consultation in regards to my pending I-485 case that seems to have been lost by USCIS (we have contacted USCIS over a dozen times, even made an InfoPass appointment, and no one seems to have any answers or is able to contact the officer who interviewed us). I could not remember the interviewing officer's name, and Yllka asked a bunch of questions trying to see if she could figure out who it was--and when a name she said rung a bell, she gave us insight that this officer has dropped the ball on other applications as well. Yllka gave incredibly detailed step-by-step instructions for us to follow, telling us it would be more expensive and just as long of a wait if we were to hire her to do what needed to be done and that it would be better to do it ourselves. And if that doesn't work out, she said to come back to her and she can help us. And this was all on a free consultation phone call!!! I left that conversation more hopeful and empowered than I have felt in the last year+ dealing with all of this. She isn't just trying to take more money from you. She genuinely cares and I trust that she helps people even if she isn't being paid to do it. Thank you Yllka for being such an honest and insightful guide. I'm sure you have helped change many lives.

I can't even describe how much Yllka helped us and how greatful we are that we found her. My husband had a very hard case . We went to many .. many different lawyers and no one would help us until I found her . She's the best there is and she's a WINNER ! After 8 long years of trying different lawyers to get a green card SHE is the only one that made it happen for us and very fast ! She truly by far is the best I recommend her to everyone We are forever thankful for her . She changed our life ! Thank you so so so much for everything you do Yllka !!

We're (I and my wife) very happy with Davidson & Seseri's excellent service. They're always kind, helpful, and very informative for all immigration-related legal processes. Yilka is a great lawyer, and Fabiano is a great legal writer. They always helped us whenever needed, and get the job done. They are preparing your documents not only with what you provide them, but they're also amazing researchers. They are working as research-based and detail-oriented. We have been impressed by their passion for complex cases. I definitely highly recommend the firm and would like to thank you all the team from here as well.

YlLka and her team is amazing! Instead of wasting your time with unprofessional attorneys she is the only one to work. I made a mistake and I worked with some other attorney and he caused me a total mess. From the day 1 and until my interview process she and her team had very satisfied information and right decisions. My case was at the office for 5 years with no respond and I started working with them they helped me a lot and finally I granted. They are really good about what they do, and they will be giving you best advices and right information for your case. She was also really professional during my 3 hours interview. And of course Fabiano! He was very professional and experienced with the endless forms. Questions you got from him that will be the key for your case. Whatever document I had to prepare for my interview he was very informed and good. I wish i would be started earlier with her office but that is definitely OK. I would definitely recommend Yllka to work with. She is the top immigration lawyer with her team for sure.

Before we met Yllka which was 10 years ago we went to few immigration attorneys they all let us file for naturalization only to back off at the last moment before the interview. It was a very difficult case. She was upfront with our case and told us to wait which showed she actually cared for my case. Fast forward 10 years she had fall back plans if the original plan did not work. Her strategies were spot on at the end. She is the best attorney i had. She got the result that she told us would get. She is the best attorney you can find in my view. Wont hesitate recommending her to anybody who needs immigration advice. Thank you Yllka

Outstanding Job by Yllka and her team, she was able to accomplish in less than 9 month what other attorneys cannot do in years!!! I was in immigration court and other attorneys told me that it might take years till my situation will be resolved, but Yllka was able to get me individual hearing in months and walked out of immigration court room with Permanent Resident Status and got my green card by mail in 4 weeks! Again, I cannot thank you enough and I do recommend Yllka to others!

I hired Ms Yllka for my I-751 (Removal of conditions) case. My case got approved due to her dedication and step by step guidance. She was very responsive and connected with me during the process of my case. I’ll always be thankful to her. Best wishes for her future and I believe that she will continue helping people by her experience, knowledge and hard work.

Yllka took our case when it was time to do our interview with USCIS. When we met her, she took the time to get to know us and prepare us for the interview. We had been incredibly stressed, but Yllka's expertise and attitude really helped calm our nerves. She answered all of our questions and prepared us really well for the interview. We could tell that she really cares about the people going through this process. We are extremely grateful for her help and for her suggestions for the documentation to bring to the interview. I don't think we would have been able to get through it if we didn't have her for that last step. I would definitely recommend her if you need an immigration lawyer, she knows a lot and she really cares about her clients.

I had been denied a green card renewal and had also been put in deportation proceedings (which led to years of battling this immigration issue). My former immigration attorney was nowhere near as good as Yllka. She helped me to get my green card back and to get me my citizenship. My husband and I can’t think her enough. I will never have to worry about immigration issues in this country again thanks to her. I highly recommend her for any immigration issue. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Not only is she a fantastic attorney, but she’s also very sweet, cares about her clients and is fun to be around, which is a bonus. But obviously your main concern is if she is the one to get the job done, which I believe she is!

I can't express how truly grateful my family and I are for having Yllka as our immigration attorney. We had a very difficult case, to say the least, and she knew every way to resolve the situation and bring the case to an end. From the beginning, she always knew which next steps to take and what possible outcomes there were. Everything happened the exact way she said it would. She is such a compassionate person and really cares about her clients. Yllka made us feel very comfortable during every interaction throughout our entire time working with her. She also never asked about money or made us feel like that was a priority. She was more concerned about getting the best outcome for the case. We have been through many immigration attorneys and you can tell which ones are truly there for you. We always knew that we were in good hands. I cannot express how thankful we are. Because of Yllka, my father was granted permission to reside in the U.S.. An outcome that we thought was nearly impossible. After 20 years of living here, we considered this our home and would have been heartbroken if we had to leave. Yllka knew that & knew exactly what to do. We never questioned any of her work. She was always on top of everything and filed all the necessary paperwork very quickly. We were very afraid that we would have to relocated but Yllka promised us that she would do everything in her power to keep my family here. Yllka most definitely makes the impossible, possible. I can sit here all day and write about how much of an amazing attorney she is but you will be able to tell yourself once you meet her. She is the absolute best! There is no one else we would ever choose besides Yllka. Again, we will never be able to thank her enough. She has the kindest heart and we will forever be grateful for her! Love always <3
