- Family based immigration, Fiancé Visa
Our firm has helped many families re-unite in the U.S. and achieve their dreams of living close to each other. You are able to immigrate to the U.S. if you are sponsored by a spouse, parent or other qualifying family member. U.S. Citizens may sponsor their spouse, un-married minor children, married and un-married children over 21 years-old, parents and siblings. U.S. Citizens may also sponsor their foreign born fiancée’s subject to certain rules and restrictions.
Permanent residents are also able to sponsor certain family members.
One of the biggest misconceptions that we encounter is a newly approved permanent resident who does not know he/she may immediately sponsor their children. A permanent resident may only sponsor a spouse, un-married minor children and un-married adult children. Note that permanent residents are not allowed to sponsor married children and marriage after a petition has already been filed will affect the validity of that petition.
