Family unity is a cornerstone of U.S. immigration policy, and family-based petitions are a primary avenue for many individuals seeking to immigrate to the United States. At ImmigrantPetitionAttorneys.com, our experienced team of attorneys is dedicated to helping U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents reunite with their loved ones through the family-based immigration process.
Our comprehensive family-based petition services include, but are not limited to:
A. Eligibility Assessment: Our attorneys will evaluate your unique circumstances to determine whether you are eligible
to sponsor a family member for immigration and which preference category is most appropriate for your situation. We will consider factors such as your family relationships, your immigration status, and the visa availability for your specific category.
B. Petition Preparation and Filing: The family-based immigration process typically begins with the filing of a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of your family member. Our attorneys will guide you through the process of preparing and submitting the required forms and supporting documentation, ensuring that your case is presented in the most favorable light.
C. Visa Availability and Priority Date Tracking: The availability of immigrant visas for family-based categories is subject to annual limits and can result in lengthy wait times, particularly for certain preference categories. Our team will closely monitor your family member’s priority date and visa availability, keeping you informed of any changes and helping you navigate the visa bulletin process.
D. Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing: Once your family member’s priority date becomes current, they may be eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence through either adjustment of status (if they are already in the United States) or consular processing (if they are abroad). Our attorneys will guide you and your family member through the appropriate process, ensuring that all forms and documentation are completed accurately and submitted in a timely manner.
E. Legal Guidance and Representation: The family-based immigration process can be complex and sometimes overwhelming, particularly for families who may be navigating the U.S. immigration system for the first time. Our attorneys will provide ongoing legal guidance, addressing any questions or concerns you may have throughout the process. We will also represent you and your family member during any interactions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Department of State, advocating on your behalf to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
