Petition for Family Members – Reunite with Your Loved Ones
Who Can You Petition For?
U.S. citizens and green card holders have the legal right to sponsor certain family members for lawful permanent residence (a green card). We assist clients in petitioning for:
-
Spouse (husband or wife)
-
Children (unmarried or married, under or over 21)
-
Parents (if the petitioner is a U.S. citizen age 21 or older)
-
Siblings (brothers and sisters, if the petitioner is a U.S. citizen age 21 or older)
Each relationship has specific eligibility requirements and processing times, which we help you understand and manage.
Our Services Include:
-
Preparing and filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative
-
Determining eligibility and preference categories
-
Assisting with adjustment of status if the family member is already in the U.S.
-
Coordinating immigrant visa processing for relatives abroad
-
Advising on issues like unlawful presence waivers when required
-
Responding to USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs)
Adjustment of Status vs. Immigrant Visa Processing
If your relative is already in the U.S., they may be eligible to apply for a green card through adjustment of status without leaving the country. For those living abroad, we guide them through consular processing to obtain an immigrant visa through a U.S. embassy or consulate.
We also help clients understand whether a waiver of unlawful presence is needed—especially for spouses or children who may have accrued time in the U.S. without status.
