Family-Based Immigrant Visas

Navigating the "Immediate Relative" vs. "Family Preference" categories is critical to your success. While immediate relative visas (for spouses, parents, and minor children of U.S. citizens) are unlimited, other family categories have annual caps that can lead to years of waiting if not handled correctly.

Our firm assists with the following family-based matters:

• I-130 Petitions: The foundational step for spouses, children, parents, and siblings to obtain a Green Card.
• K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas: For those planning to marry a U.S. citizen within 90 days of arrival.
• K-2 Visas: For the children of fiancé(e) visa holders.
• Consular Processing vs. Adjustment of Status: We help you determine whether it is better to file your case within the U.S. or at a U.S. Embassy abroad to save time and money.

Humanitarian Visas & Specialized Relief

For many, immigration is about more than just a visa; it is about finding safety. Our attorneys specialize in humanitarian relief for individuals who have faced trauma or persecution.

We provide representation for:

• Asylum (Affirmative & Defensive): Seeking refuge for families based on a well-founded fear of persecution.
• VAWA Petitions: Helping victims of domestic violence seek legal status independently of an abusive spouse or parent.
• U Visas: Providing a path to legal status for victims of certain crimes who have assisted law enforcement.
• SIJS (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status): Protecting children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents.
• Humanitarian Parole: Seeking temporary entry into the U.S. for urgent humanitarian reasons.
