Los Angeles Immigration Lawyer

Family Petitions

Immigrating to the United States is a dream for many people around the world. If you are a US citizen and hope to give that opportunity to a foreign relative, you may be eligible to sponsor your relative to enter and live in the US as a permanent resident by filing a family based petition. The process is not easy and may take time, but a determined Los Angeles immigration attorney from our firm can assist you through the process. A foreign citizen may be eligible for a family based immigration visa based on meeting any of the following conditions:

• The foreign national is an immediate relative of a US citizen including a spouse, parent, sibling or child.
• The foreign national is an adult child of a US citizen.
• The foreign national is the spouse of a lawful permanent resident of the United States.
• A foreign child being adopted by a US citizen may be eligible.
• The foreign national is the fiancé of a US citizen.

Establishing the validity of the relationship between a foreign national and a US citizen sponsor requires extensive documentation. Along with the detailed paperwork necessary to file a successful petition, it is also necessary to meet strict deadlines. The immigration process can be unforgiving and any error can result in an extensive delay or a denial.

Our compassionate firm understands that your family is important to you and we are determined to assist you in achieving the results you are looking for.
