Grand Rapids Family Immigration Lawyer
Grand Rapids Family Immigration Lawyer
Family immigration is available to certain family members of U.S. citizens and permanent U.S. residents (green card holders). In some circumstances, particular family members such as spouses and children may be able to use family-based immigration if their connection has status as a refugee, political asylee, or U-visa holder. A Grand Rapids family immigration attorney with Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC can answer all of your questions in person to help you better understand this pathway that your loved ones can take toward green card status and U.S. citizenship.
Who is Eligible for Family Immigration?
- Children, parents, spouses, siblings, and certain other relatives of United States Citizens
- Unmarried children and spouses of permanent U.S. residents (green card holders)
- Spouses and children of refugees, U visa holders, and asylum seekers. However, this is the most complex, and least assured, type of family-based immigration.
Family-based immigration gives your loved ones living in another country a priority to legal residency here in the U.S. with you. For family members living in the U.S. without documentation, family-based immigration is their only pathway to living legally.
Family Immigration is the Only Pathway that Currently Undocumented Immigrants Have for Legal Residency
The immigrant percentage of the U.S. population is close to its historic high, according to the Pew Research Center, as immigrants now comprise 13.5% of the population. About a quarter of those individuals are living here without documentation—all of whom are at great risk of being detained and deported, considering the current hostile political climate towards immigrants. In order to protect your loved ones who are not here legally with green card status, U.S. citizenship, or refugee or asylee status, your only option is often family-based immigration. Family-based immigration is the only pathway that your loved ones have to be granted legal residency if they are already here in the United States without documentation.
Family-Based Immigration May Soon be Attacked: Take Action Now Before it is Too Late
Under the Trump Administration, there is a renewed attempt to shift immigration priorities away from family-based immigration that reunifies loved ones, and toward a point-based system, according to the Pew Research Institute. This point-based system would give priority to those with higher levels of education and employment qualifications. What does this mean for you and your family? It is best to act sooner rather than putting it off for additional months or years, as U.S. immigration policy and laws seem to be in constant flux.

Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Kevin Racia were the attorneys handling a complex immigration case of mine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the remarkable team of Khiabett Osuna, Brittani Rivera, and Rafael Rodriguez, who were responsible for the successful release from detention of one of our parishioners, husband and father of four, after over 10 weeks of incarceration.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time. I was in detention for 6 months, and thanks to her hard work and filing a habeas corpus petition, I was finally released. In addition, when I was released, ICE did not return my documents. Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
My aunt was recently detained by ICE and sent to El Paso, Texas to the East Montana Detention Facility. This place is essentially a prison in the middle of the desert, and the majority of the detainees here get deported. My family and I interviewed a dozen immigration attorneys around the country to help my aunt, and we decided to hire Kevin Raica, an attorney with Kriezelman Burton and Associates.…

They were attentive, honest, and always ready to help. It was…
