Your Guide to Family-Based Immigration

Family-based immigration is a pathway for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring specific family members to the United States. However, the process involves many steps, legal requirements, and potential pitfalls. Here’s an overview of what this process typically entails and how we can assist you at every stage.  

Step 1: Determining Eligibility

The first step is understanding your eligibility and the eligibility of your relative under U.S. immigration law. Family members eligible for sponsorship vary depending on your immigration status:

• U.S. citizens can file petitions for their spouse, children (regardless of age or marital status), parents, and siblings.  
• Lawful permanent residents can petition for their spouse and unmarried children.  

Our attorneys will assess your individual circumstances to confirm your eligibility and identify the most effective strategy for your case.  

Step 2: Filing the Petition

Once eligibility is established, the sponsor must file a Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130). This form demonstrates the relationship between the sponsor and the beneficiary. Ensuring accuracy and completeness in this petition is critical, as incomplete or incorrect submissions can lead to delays or denials.  

At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, our attorneys meticulously prepare each petition, gather the required supporting documentation, and meet all requirements to avoid unnecessary complications.  

Step 3: Visa Processing or Adjustment of Status

Depending on whether your relative is inside or outside the U.S., the next step involves one of two primary processes:

• Consular Processing: For family members outside the U.S., the petition will be processed at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.
• Adjustment of Status: For family members who are already in the U.S., we guide them through the process of applying for their green card without having to leave the country.  

Our lawyers will guide you through these complex procedures, ensuring compliance with all legal regulations and deadlines.  

Step 4: Preparing for the Interview

Most applicants are required to attend an interview with a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officer or consular officer. While this step may seem daunting, being thoroughly prepared can make all the difference. We help clients anticipate potential questions, organize their documentation, and approach the interview with confidence.  

Step 5: Final Approval

With the interview successfully completed, your family member will receive either their visa or green card, marking the culmination of the process and the beginning of a new chapter.
