Evanston Family Immigration Lawyer
Evanston Family Immigration Lawyer
Throughout the globe there are many individuals who dream of immigrating to the United States. Many of these individuals make the incredibly difficult decision to come to America, even if it means leaving loved ones behind in their home country. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service allows these individuals to sponsor those family members so that they, too, can come to live in the United States. The process is far from easy. It is complex and confusing and many times, you will have to deal with an unfriendly bureaucracy.Â
It is for this reason that if you are going through the process of immigration, or you wish to sponsor a family member, you should speak to an Evanston family immigration lawyer right away. An attorney can tell you about the two main ways to sponsor a family member, which include processes for immediate family members, and for distant relatives.Â
Sponsoring an Immediate Relative
There is no limit to the amount of family-based immigrant visas that are issued every year. This means that if you wish to sponsor an immediate relative, you already have a better chance than if you were to sponsor a distant family member. Your loved ones may qualify for an immediate relative visa if they:
- Are legally married to a United States citizen,
- Are the child of a United Citizen, are not married, and are under the age of 21
- Are a child to be adopted by a United States citizen
- Are the parent of a United States citizen who is over the age of 21
When one or more of these factors applies to your situation, an Evanston family immigration attorney can help you sponsor your immediate relative for immigration.Â
Sponsoring a Distant Relative
Distant relatives are categorized under family preference immigration visas. Unlike visas for immediate relatives, the government does limit how many of these types of visas are issued every year. For this reason, the process sometimes takes longer and becomes much more complicated. However, your family members may still be eligible for a family preference visa if they:
- Are a son or daughter of a United States citizen that is over the age of 21
- Are married to a permanent resident
- Are under the age of 21 and are a child of a U.S. citizen
- Are a sibling of a United States citizen, and are over the age of 21
While the definitions of those who qualify for a family preference visa are straightforward, the process is not. Anyone wishing to apply needs to speak to an Evanston family immigration lawyer who can help with the case.Â

I highly recommend this law firm! They are always honest right from the initial consultation. They don't take cases just for the money. My family member was a victim of an ICE raid in Michigan on November 17th and returned home on December 30th.

So many immigration firms in Chicago who do you choose? I can tell you with certainty this is the place to go for you and your loved ones. My wife came over across the border under the Biden years. Our application was sent in, in May and by November we got approved for her 485. This law firm handles many cases of all different kinds so they just know what…
My God, if I could give 10 stars, I would. My family and I are so grateful, first and foremost to God and to attorney Brittni Rivera, who helped us free my husband. He was detained by ICE in Chicago and transferred to Michigan. The process after hiring attorney Brittni Rivera took only 15 days, when I was given about a month. It was incredibly fast and effective.
