Family-Based Immigration Attorneys in Marietta, GA
Understanding Family-Based Immigration in Marietta
Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to sponsor certain relatives for permanent residence. The goal is simple: keep families together.
Whether your family member is in the U.S. or abroad, navigating USCIS regulations requires detailed knowledge of eligibility, forms, timelines, and supporting evidence. Common family-based immigration categories include:
- Immediate Relative Petitions: Spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 of U.S. citizens.
- Family Preference Petitions: Adult children, married children, and siblings of U.S. citizens, or spouses/children of green card holders.
- Fiancé (K-1) Visas: Allows foreign fiancés of U.S. citizens to enter the U.S. and marry within 90 days.
- Adjustment of Status: For family members already in the U.S. who may apply for permanent residence without leaving the country.
- Consular Processing: For family members abroad applying for a green card through a U.S. consulate.
- Removal of Conditions: For spouses with conditional green cards needing to apply to remove conditions.
- Naturalization for Spouses: For foreign nationals married to U.S. citizens who may be eligible for expedited naturalization.
