Simplifying the Path to Family Unity in the U.S.

Family Reunification is a cornerstone of U.S. immigration policy, allowing U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain family members for permanent residence in the United States. This process reflects the importance of family unity and provides a legal pathway for families to be together, contributing to the social, economic, and cultural fabric of the nation.

At Immigration Law, PLLC, our experienced immigration attorneys are dedicated to simplifying the family reunification process for our clients, ensuring that you can navigate the complexities of the immigration system with clarity and confidence.

  • Petition Preparation and Filing: Our team will meticulously prepare and file the necessary petition forms, such as Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative), ensuring that all required documentation is included and the petition is submitted correctly and in a timely manner.

  • Document Gathering and Organization: We will guide you through the process of collecting and organizing the necessary supporting evidence to prove your qualifying family relationship and meet the financial sponsorship requirements.

  • Consular Processing and Adjustment of Status: Whether your family member is abroad or already in the U.S., we will assist with the appropriate process, either through consular processing or adjustment of status, to help them obtain their green card.

The family reunification process offers numerous benefits, including promoting family unity, facilitating social integration, contributing to the U.S. economy, and enhancing cultural diversity. However, the process can be lengthy and complex, with different requirements and waiting periods for various family categories.
