If you are in Cleveland and seeking a skilled family-based immigration attorney, our team is here to provide compassionate guidance and legal representation.

What Is Family-Based Immigration?

Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to petition for certain family members to join them in the United States. Through this process, eligible relatives may obtain visas, green cards, and eventually, U.S. citizenship if they meet the legal requirements. This crucial avenue of immigration is designed to ensure that families can remain together despite geographical and legal barriers.

Who Is Eligible?

Eligibility for family-based immigration depends on the petitioner’s status:

• U.S. Citizens can file petitions for:
  • Spouses
  • Children (under or over 21, married or unmarried)
  • Parents
  • Siblings  

Additionally, fiancés of U.S. citizens may qualify for a K-1 visa to enter the U.S. and marry within 90 days. Certain spouses and children may also qualify for nonimmigrant K-3 or K-4 visas while their petitions for green cards are pending.

• Green Card Holders (Lawful Permanent Residents) can petition for:
  • Spouses
  • Unmarried children under 21
  • Unmarried sons or daughters over 21  

Other categories, such as refugees, asylees, and U visa recipients, may also have pathways to sponsor family members, but the rules can be complex and specific to each case.  

This highly sensitive and intricate process requires knowledge of immigration laws to avoid delays or denials. That is where our attorneys excel.
