Family-Based Petitions

We provide comprehensive legal services for all aspects of family-based immigration. Our goal is to reunite families and guide them through the complex immigration process. Our services include:

• Family-Based Petitions: Assisting U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in sponsoring their eligible family members (spouses, children, parents, siblings) for immigration to the United States. This includes preparing and filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and navigating the subsequent steps with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and U.S. consulates abroad.
• Adjustment of Status: Helping individuals who are already in the U.S. to obtain lawful permanent resident status (green card) based on a family relationship. This involves filing Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and meeting specific eligibility requirements.
• Consular Processing: Guiding clients through the process of obtaining an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. This includes preparing for the consular interview, gathering required documents, and addressing any potential issues that may arise.
• Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1): Assisting U.S. citizens in bringing their foreign national fiancé(e)s to the U.S. for marriage. This involves filing Form I-129F (Petition for Fiance(e) Visa) and meeting specific requirements.
• Spouse Visas (K-3): Helping U.S. citizens bring their foreign national spouses to the U.S. while their immigrant visa petition is pending.
• Removal of Conditional Residency: Assisting individuals who obtained a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen (conditional residents) in removing the conditions on their residency after two years.
• Waivers: Helping individuals overcome certain inadmissibility grounds that may prevent them from obtaining a visa or green card. This includes filing various waivers, such as Form I-601 (Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility).
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): Providing legal representation to victims of domestic violence who are seeking to self-petition for immigration benefits.
• Other Family-Based Immigration Matters: We also handle other family-based immigration issues, such as orphan adoptions, relative petitions based on asylum or refugee status, and other complex cases.
