Family-Based Immigration

Keeping families together is the heart of immigration law.

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for certain family members to immigrate. Which relatives qualify, and how long the process takes, depends on the relationship and the sponsor’s status. Getting the category and the evidence right from the start avoids costly delays.
