Family Visas

Keeping a Family Together

Most family immigration starts with one question: how do I bring the person I love here, or help the one who is already here stay? The answer depends on who you are, who your relative is, and how they entered the country. We start by understanding your specific situation, then explain the path that fits it.

United States citizens can petition for a spouse, children, parents, and siblings. Lawful permanent residents (green-card holders) can petition for a spouse and unmarried children. The category matters, because it affects how long the wait will be and whether your relative can complete the process here or must do part of it at a consulate abroad.

Situations We Help With

• Petitioning for a spouse, including marriage-based cases.
• Petitioning for children, parents, or siblings.
• Fiance visas for a partner abroad.
• Adjustment of status for a relative already in the country.
• Consular processing for a relative abroad.
• Cases where a waiver of inadmissibility may be needed.

Why the Preparation Matters

Family petitions ask for a great deal of documentation, and small mistakes can lead to long delays or a request for more evidence months later. We take the time to assemble a complete, accurate package the first time, and we explain what each document is for so the process does not feel like a black box.

If You Are Not Sure Where to Begin

Many people come to us unsure whether they even qualify, or worried that a past issue makes it impossible. Often there is a path, and sometimes there are options people did not know they had. A consultation is the place to find out. See also green cards, since many family cases lead there.
