Buffalo Grove Family-Based Immigration Attorneys Help Reunite Families for Over 40 Years
Many individuals, when they choose to immigrate to the United States, make the decision to do so because they want to better the lives of their loved ones. However, once one family member makes it here and begins to establish a new life for himself or herself, they find it difficult to get the rest of their family the documentation they need to gain residency in the U.S.. Oftentimes, families will find themselves separated for years, causing undue emotional turmoil and distress for all. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our family-based immigration lawyers have been reuniting families for over 40 years, and now we want to help you. Contact our Buffalo Grove immigration law firm to retain the legal assistance you need to reunite with your loved ones once and for all.
Family Based Green Cards
The U.S. strives to reunite immigrant families by allowing U.S. citizens and permanent residents to petition for green cards for particular family members. Unfortunately, because the U.S. only allows so many individuals into the country each year, an individual cannot petition for a grandparent, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, or anyone else of extended relations. However, if they can create a chain of relations that would allow a more immediate family member to petition for an extended family member, then an entire family might be united. For instance, while an individual may not be able to petition for a cousin, they can petition for a parent, who (upon receiving his or her green card) could petition for a sibling, who (upon receiving his or her green card) could petition for a child (the cousin). However, this kind of strategy requires long-term planning, as obtaining even a single green card is a lengthy process—oftentimes taking several years.
Though the U.S. needs to limit the number of immigrants it allows into the country each year, they are lenient when it comes to specific family members. An unlimited number of green cards are issued to the following types of family members of U.S. citizens:
- Spouses, including recent widows and widowers;
- Children of U.S. citizens who are under the age of 21;
- Parents of U.S. citizens if the citizen is over the age of 21;
- Stepchildren and stepparents, if the marriage that created the relationship took place before the child turned 18; and
- Adopted parents/children, if the adoption took place before the child was 16.
Fiancés are also eligible; however, if the couple wishes to hold the marriage in the United States, they must apply for a K-1 fiancé visa, which is a temporary visa good for 90-days.
