Family Immigration:
Reuniting Loved Ones on U.S. Soil

blog-authorDavid A. Keller, Esq.

Introduction

For many, family reunification is the cornerstone of the American dream. Through family-based immigration, U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can bring their loved ones to join them in the United States. This guide outlines the process for family-based immigration, focusing on marriage-based green cards and other family petitions.

Understanding Family-Based Immigration

  • Immediate Relatives: Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens have priority and no annual visa caps.
  • Preference Categories: Other family members, such as siblings or married children, fall under preference categories subject to visa limits.

Focus on Marriage-Based Green Cards

  • File Form I-130: The sponsoring spouse files Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with USCIS.
  • Prove a Bona Fide Marriage: Provide evidence such as joint bank accounts, lease agreements, and photos.
  • Choose the Process: Adjustment of status is for those in the U.S., while consular processing applies to applicants abroad.
  • Prepare for the Interview: A marriage interview may be required to confirm the authenticity of the relationship.

Case Example: Success Story

A U.S. citizen approached Keller Law Group to obtain a green card for their non-citizen spouse. By presenting a comprehensive application with detailed evidence, the petition was approved without delays, allowing the couple to begin their life together in the U.S.
