Family-Based Immigration
Reuniting spouses, parents, children and siblings — the work our founder describes as the reason he practises immigration law.
Most people who come to us are trying to keep a family in one place. Sometimes that means a green card for a spouse who is already here; sometimes it means bringing a fiancé(e) or a parent from abroad; sometimes it means untangling an old immigration history first.
Which path applies to you depends on your relative's status, on how you entered the United States, and on what is in your record. Those three facts decide almost everything, which is why the first conversation is about your history rather than about forms.
Adjustment of Status
Adjustment of Status is how an eligible person already inside the United States becomes a lawful permanent resident without leaving the country for a consular interview abroad.
K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
The K-1 brings the fiancé(e) of a United States citizen to the country so the couple can marry within ninety days and then apply for a green card.
Family Petitions
A family petition is the document that establishes the relationship. Whether your relative waits months or years after that depends entirely on which category they fall into.
Keeping Families Together
KAFT was announced in 2024 as a parole-in-place process for noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of United States citizens. Its status has since changed, and what matters now is which of the remaining routes fits your family.
