What You Should Know

Timing Matters

Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have no visa backlog and can file immediately. Preference categories can take years. The sooner you file, the sooner your priority date locks in.

Evidence Is Everything

USCIS scrutinizes family-based petitions closely. A well-documented case with strong evidence of the relationship is the difference between approval and a Request for Evidence or denial.

We Speak 8 Languages

English, Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Chinese, Russian, Sinhala, and Tamil. Your family can communicate with us in the language they are most comfortable in.

Paths to Bringing Your Family Together

The immigration system divides family relationships into categories, each with different rules and timelines. We know exactly how each one works and what it takes to get through.

Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens

Spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21. No visa backlog. No annual cap. This is the fastest path to a green card through family, and it is available right now if you qualify. We handle the petition, the evidence package, and the interview preparation so you do not lose time to avoidable mistakes.

No Visa Backlog

Preference Categories

Unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens. Spouses and children of green card holders. Married adult children. Siblings. These categories have annual visa limits, which means waiting. Sometimes years. We file your petition correctly the first time so your priority date locks in and every day of that wait counts.

Waivers of Inadmissibility

You were told you cannot enter or stay because of unlawful presence, a prior removal order, fraud, or something in your past. A waiver can overcome that bar. We prepare I-601 and I-601A waiver applications that demonstrate the extreme hardship your qualifying relative would suffer without you. This is where cases are won or lost.

Two Ways to Get Your Green Card

Adjustment of Status

You stay in the United States the entire time. You file Form I-485, attend a biometrics appointment, and go to an interview at your local USCIS office. While you wait, you can get a work permit and travel document. You never have to leave the country. This is the preferred path when it is available.

No risk of getting stuck abroad

Consular Processing

Your case is processed at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. After USCIS approves the petition, the case transfers to the National Visa Center for document collection, then to the consulate for an interview. If there are inadmissibility issues, we file waivers before you travel so you are not stuck waiting overseas.

Beyond the Green Card

Family immigration is more than just green cards. Sometimes the path starts with a fiance visa. Sometimes it starts with escaping an abuser. And for those who already have their green card, the final step is citizenship. We handle all of it.

Every family situation is different, and the immigration system does not make it easy to figure out which forms, which timelines, and which requirements apply to you. That is exactly why you need an attorney who has done this thousands of times and knows what the government is looking for before you walk into that interview.

VAWA Self-Petitions

If your U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, parent, or child has abused you, you can petition for immigration status on your own. Your abuser will never be notified. You do not need their permission or cooperation. This is your path to safety and legal status.

K-1 Fiance Visas

Your fiance is abroad and you want to bring them to the United States to get married. The K-1 visa gets them here. After the wedding, we file for the green card. We handle the petition, the consular interview preparation, and the adjustment of status after marriage.

Naturalization and Citizenship

You have had your green card. You have lived here. You have built a life. Now you want to become a citizen, vote, and never worry about losing your status again. We prepare your N-400 application, help you study for the civics and English tests, and walk you through the interview.

What Happens After You Hire Us

No more reading confusing USCIS instructions at midnight. No more wondering if you checked the right box. Here is how we get your family through this.

1

We Evaluate Your Situation

You tell us about your family, your immigration history, and what you need. We figure out which category you fall into, whether you can adjust status here or need to go through a consulate abroad, and whether any inadmissibility issues need to be addressed. No guessing. Real answers.

2

We File the Petition

Your U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member files Form I-130 with USCIS to prove the family relationship. We prepare the evidence package: marriage certificates, birth records, photos, financial documents, and anything else that makes the relationship undeniable.

3

We Handle the Wait

If you are an immediate relative, there is no line. We move straight to the green card application. If you are in a preference category, we monitor the Visa Bulletin every month and tell you the moment your priority date becomes current. We also file any waivers needed during this period.

4

We File for the Green Card

If you qualify to adjust status in the United States, we file Form I-485 along with your work permit and travel document applications. If you need consular processing, we guide you through the National Visa Center stage and prepare you for the embassy interview abroad.

5

We Prepare You for the Interview

Whether it is a USCIS adjustment interview or a consular interview overseas, we prepare you for every question they will ask. We have seen what trips people up. You will walk in knowing exactly what to expect and what to bring.

Your Family Has Waited Long Enough

Every incorrectly filed form, every missed deadline, every Request for Evidence that could have been avoided adds months or years to the time your family spends apart. Immigration paperwork is not forgiving. One wrong answer on one form can trigger a denial, and a denial can set you back to the starting line.

In over 20 years of practice, we have filed thousands of family-based petitions. We know what USCIS officers look for in marriage cases. We know what evidence makes consular officers comfortable. We know how to write waiver applications that get approved. We do this every day.
