Family-based immigration

US citizens and lawful permanent residents are able to file for most immediate relatives to immigrate to the United States.  Many different procedures are involved. Different waiting times need to be recognized during such a process.  Not all family relationships are recognized for purposes of immigration to the United States.  An individual can file for his or her own parents or siblings. But a grandchild, for instance, could not petition for a grandparent. And a  niece could not petition for an aunt or uncle. 

 

Our immigration attorneys in New Jersey excel in first identifying whether a particular familial relationship qualifies for immigration purposes.  When such a relationship is properly identified, we put you at ease by ensuring that all work is completed in securing proper immigration status for a particular family member.
