What Is Family-Based Immigration?
Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain family members for immigrant visas and Green Cards. It is one of the cornerstones of the U.S. immigration system, designed to keep families together.
The process begins with a petition (Form I-130) establishing the qualifying relationship. Depending on the category, your family member may receive a visa immediately or must wait for a visa number to become available. We manage the paperwork, deadlines, and USCIS communications throughout.
Who Qualifies?
Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens
Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens have immediate relative status, the fastest family preference category with no annual cap.
K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa
If you are a U.S. citizen engaged to a foreign national, the K-1 visa allows your fiancé(e) to enter the U.S. to marry within 90 days and then apply for adjustment of status.
Spousal Visa (CR-1 / IR-1)
Foreign spouses of U.S. citizens may obtain a CR-1 (conditional) or IR-1 (immediate relative) immigrant visa for lawful permanent residence.
Family Preference Categories
Adult children and siblings of U.S. citizens, and spouses and children of permanent residents, qualify under preference categories which are subject to annual visa caps.
Step-by-Step Process
Determine the Category
We identify the correct family preference category and assess current visa bulletin priority dates.
File Form I-130
The U.S. citizen or LPR sponsor files Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, establishing the qualifying relationship.
Wait for Approval & Priority Date
USCIS reviews the petition. For preference categories, the beneficiary waits for a visa number to become available per the monthly Visa Bulletin.
Immigrant Visa or Adjustment of Status
If the beneficiary is abroad, consular processing at a U.S. Embassy applies. If they are already in the U.S. lawfully, they may file Form I-485 to adjust status.
Interview & Approval
Attend an interview (consular or USCIS). Upon approval, the beneficiary receives their immigrant visa or Green Card.
