Family-Based Immigration
With a family visa, you are sponsoring your relative to live in the U.S. Who you can sponsor depends on your status in the U.S.:
- If you are a legal permanent resident, you can file a family-based immigration petition for a spouse or an unmarried child.
- If you have obtained U.S. citizenship, you can file a family-based immigration petition for fiancé, spouse, parents, married or unmarried children, and brothers and sisters.
Barriers to Family-Based Visa
Some issues can present problems to a family-based immigration visa. Legal status, manner of entry, domestic violence, divorce or a criminal conviction are just a few things that can block the petition. We know the immigration process and the administrative hurdles that it can present.
