Family Immigration
Our law firm assists U.S. citizens and permanent residents to secure immigrant and non-immigrant visas for close family members.
Description
The most common way of gaining residency in the U.S. is by a petition and immigration through a family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. You must have a qualifying family relationship.
Qualifying relationships are grouped into two main categories – immediate relatives and other close family members. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are given special preferential treatment. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are allowed to immigrate in unlimited numbers.
The following are immediate relatives:
Spouses
Children, unmarried and under 21
Parents
