Is your loved one living in the United States without legal documentation? Do you have a spouse, parent, sibling, or children that are still living in their country of origin that you hope to be reunited with here in the U.S.? Family-based immigration may be the answer in either of those scenarios. As a U.S. resident, you are in a position to help your family member or family members gain legal entry and residency in the U.S. through family-based immigration. A Kalamazoo County family immigration attorney with the law offices of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC can help you today.
There are dozens of reasons for an individual and his or her loved ones to move to another country. Due to economic hardships, political reasons back at home, refuge from climate change, educational opportunities, and many other reasons, immigrants come to the U.S. in hopes of a better life or learning experience, or to simply earn a good paycheck before returning home. While the U.S. does allow roughly 1.1 million immigrants annually to take permanent residence (green card status), according to the Migration Policy Institute, there are still millions more who wish to gain legal access, yet are denied or are forced to “wait in line” for years or decades. Many people simply do not have the time to wait this long, especially spouses and children of an immigrant who has already gained entry to the U.S. Family-based immigration allows the family members of a green card holder or U.S. citizen to essentially bypass these long wait times in some cases.
Family-based immigration is available to certain family members of the following people:
By having a family member legally living in the U.S., individuals who are living here as undocumented or who are living abroad are given certain priorities when it comes to immigration status. For individuals already living in the U.S. without authorization, however, family-based immigration is their only option for legal residency.
The U.S. immigration system is backlogged by many months when it comes to green cards and citizenship, and waiting times to apply are years or decades long for some individuals, depending on their country of origin and their level of education. Family immigration may be the best route for your loved one, and you can help make that possible.

Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Kevin Racia were the attorneys handling a complex immigration case of mine. On the assurance of both attorneys that the case is going to be presented in a systematic way, I went ahead with confidence. I was able to become a legal permanent resident.

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. From his detention to the payment of his bail and from Immigration Court to his reunion with his family, there were blessings aplenty made possible through the…
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.…

From start to finish, Kevin was professional, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about immigration law. He made sure every document was prepared correctly and took the time to explain each step clearly. Anytime I had questions, he responded promptly and made…
