At The Abiiden Law Firm, we know all too well the pain and worry associated with having your family separated due to immigration problems. The United States is still a country of freedom and opportunity, though it is becoming more difficult to immigrate to the U.S. legally.Legal counsel and representation have always been an advantage when it comes to meeting the necessary requirements to bring family members to your new homeland.

How Does Family Immigration Work in the U.S.?

In the U.S., family-based immigration allows citizens and legal permanent residents (LPRs), also called green card holders, to petition for specific relatives to join them. These relatives can include spouses, children, parents, and siblings, each with their own process and requirements.

The two main family immigration routes are:

  • Immediate Relative Immigration:This path is reserved for the closest family relationships of U.S. citizens—spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents (if the citizen is 21 or older). Benefits include unlimited visas and faster processing.
  • Family Preference Immigration: This category covers more distant family relationships, including siblings and married or adult children. It also allows green card holders to petition for their spouses and unmarried children. Each preference has annual limits, so wait times often stretch from months to many years, depending on the category and your home country.

The Typical Family Immigration Process

The family-immigration application process is initiated by the U.S. citizen or LPR. Here’s how it usually goes:

  1. Filing the Petition: The U.S. citizen or green card holder files Form I-130 to establish the family relationship. 
     
  2. Petition Approval: After approval, immediate relatives generally move forward quickly, while family preference beneficiaries must wait for a visa number. 

  3. Visa Processing: Once the petition is approved, the next stage depends on where the applicant lives. If already in the U.S., they may apply for adjustment of status. If abroad, the case moves to consular processing. Both routes involve document submission, background checks, and preparing for the final interview. 

  4. Interview and Final Decision: An interview typically confirms the relationship and eligibility, followed by a decision on the application.

The exact process may vary by visa type and case, but these steps form the core of most cases. With our personalized guidance and careful attention, you can avoid costly mistakes and unnecessary delays.

All in the Family

Depending on the nature of your relationship with the person you want to help bring to this country, the requirements will vary. Immigration laws do not operate on the basis of emotional closeness but on your genetic or marital connection to the individual who wants to immigrate. Below are the requirements that have to be met for various family members to obtain a U.S. Visa.

Wife or Husband of a U.S. Citizen

As a U.S. citizen, you do not have to wait for a visa to become available before bringing your husband or wife to the U.S. If your husband or wife is already in the U.S., you can also apply for them to get a green card without having to go back to their home country. When you work with the Abiiden Law Firm, you will have the peace of mind of being kept in the loop every inch of the way and knowing our expertise will help you get the fastest results.

Children of a U.S. Citizen

Being forced to live away from your children can be unbearable, so it is a blessing that visas are promptly available for children of U.S. citizens. To qualify as an immediate relative, however, the child in question must be:

  • Unmarried
  • Under 21 years of age
  • If a stepchild, under 18 years old when the step-child relationship was solidified
  • If adopted, the child must be under the age of 16 and have lived with the U.S. citizen for at least 2 years before filing for the immigrant visa petition

At The Abiiden Law Firm, we are unwavering in our dedication to uniting children with their parents.

Parents of a U.S. Citizen

Being apart from your parents, especially if they are living in unfavorable or dangerous conditions, or having troubles related to aging, can make rescuing them from their country of origin feel like an urgent duty. Fortunately, as with children, visas are readily available for parents of U.S. citizens, as long as you (the child) are at least 21 years old.

Spouse/Children of a Permanent Resident (Green Card Holder)

If you are a permanent resident rather than a U.S. citizen, you may still file an application for your spouse or unmarried child to immigrate to the U.S. Because there is a limit on the number of relatives who may immigrate under this category each year, however, there is typically a waiting period before your relative’s number is reached.

Brothers/Sisters of a U.S. Citizen

If you are a U.S. citizen who wants to bring a sibling to the U.S., you must apply for a family preference immigrant visa. Because there is a yearly limit on the number of such visas granted, they are awarded in order of the date you filed the visa petition. Your sibling will not be allowed to apply for a green card until that priority date comes up.

Fiancé(e)

If your intended wants to join you in the U.S. in order to marry you, and you are a U.S. citizen, there is K-1 (fiancé(e) visa created just for the two of you. Remember though that the person applying for the K-1 visa must:

  • Be a U.S. citizen
  • Be unmarried
  • Marry the fiancé(e) within 90 days of arrival in the U.S.
  • Have met the fiancé(e) in person at least once within the last 2 years
  • Meet the current income requirement

If you have immigrated to the U.S. and stay in this country, your marriage may make you eligible to apply for a green card through the adjustment of status (AOS) process.
