Family-Based Immigration

U.S. immigration law allows certain foreign nationals who are family members of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to obtain a green card.

The closer your family relationship is, the more rights you will have under U.S. immigration law.

We can provide a personal assessment of your family-based immigration case and help you determine your eligibility and options.

A U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident can apply for:

• F2A: Spouse and unmarried children (under age 21) of a permanent resident.

• F2B: Unmarried children 21 years of age or older of a permanent resident.

A U.S. citizen may apply:

• 21-year-old (or older) unmarried children of a U.S. citizen.

• Married children of a U.S. citizen, extending the application to the spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.

• Siblings of a U.S. citizen, extending the application to spouse and children under 21 years of age who are unmarried.

The timing of each process depends on each specific case and on the expert advice from an experienced immigration attorney. A mistake in the petition may delay the process and may even lead to the denial of the residence for your family member.
