Family Based Green Cards
To apply for permanent residency you must have a qualifying relationship. You must qualify under one or more of the following categories:
- Child of an American or Resident;
- Parent of an American;
- Spouse of an American or Resident;
- Sibling of an American.
The type of relationship and the country of the Beneficiary (the person seeking the immigration benefit) matters greatly. This will determine if the process is to take months versus many years. A petitioner can lose their place in line, so to speak, if they become 21 or they get married. Stepchildren/parents can petition for their children/parents but there are additional requirements.
Please call our office to schedule a consultation in order to discuss which options best apply to your case.
