Family Immigration
Most people who get a green card do it through a family member. A United States citizen or lawful permanent resident files a petition for a relative, and that petition is the first step toward legal status.
What we help with
- Petitions for a spouse, child, parent, or sibling (Form I-130)
- Adjustment of status inside the United States (Form I-485)
- Consular processing for relatives who are abroad
- Fiancé(e) visas (K-1) and following-to-join relatives
- Affidavits of support and the financial requirements behind them
- Cases where a prior entry, overstay, or removal order complicates the petition
