    HELP WITH FAMILY IMMIGRATION

    Many people become permanent residents through family members. The United States promotes family unity and allows U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents to petition for certain relatives to come and live permanently in the United States. Our expert family immigration attorneys in Denver, CO, and Seattle, WA, can help with visa applications, green card petitions, adjustment of status, and more.

    Who Can Sponsor a Family Member for Immigration to the U.S.?

    U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) can sponsor certain family members for a visa that provides permanent residence, also known as a Green Card. U.S. citizens can sponsor their spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Lawful permanent residents can sponsor their spouses and unmarried children.

    Our immigration attorneys can guide you through the process of petitioning for a family member. We'll help you understand the eligibility requirements, gather the necessary documentation, complete the application forms accurately, and prepare for the immigration interview. We're committed to providing personalized, attentive service to each of our clients, and we'll be there to answer your questions and address your concerns every step of the way.

    Types of Family-Based Visas

    There are two main categories of family-based immigrant visas:

    • Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas (IR): These visas are for close family relationships with a U.S. citizen, such as spouses, unmarried children under the age of 21, and parents. There is no limit to the number of these visas that can be issued each year.
    • Family Preference Immigrant Visas (F): These visas are for specific, more distant family relationships with a U.S. citizen and some relationships with a Lawful Permanent Resident. There are annual limits to the number of these visas that can be issued each year.
    Each category has its own requirements and procedures, and the waiting times can vary significantly. Our team can help you understand the differences between these categories and determine the best path for your family.

    ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS VS. CONSULAR PROCESSING


    Once an individual's priority date is current, the next step in obtaining a green card is either adjustment of status or consular processing. Adjustment of status is when a person applies for a green card from within the United States with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Generally, an individual cannot apply for a green card from within the U.S. unless they entered the country legally or qualify under a special law found at INA Section 245(i). If an individual cannot apply within the US, they may be required to consular process in their home country.

    At our firm, we specialize in preparing applications for adjustment of status and consular processing. To learn more about the filing process, forms, and fees, please contact us to speak with a team member.
