Discover Family Immigration Options

This dynamic video series is your personalized guide to family immigration options, empowering you to make confident, informed decisions. While you may have ideas about what works best, exploring all possibilities ensures you choose the perfect path. Let’s dive into key questions to unlock your future.

Do You Have a U.S. Citizen Family Member to Sponsor You?

Question 1: Do you have an American citizen parent, sibling, or child (over 21) ready to sponsor you?

Immediate family can sponsor you for a Green Card, granting permanent residency and the right to work or retire. Here’s how it works:

  • A U.S. citizen child over 21 can sponsor you, with a process typically under a year.

  • If you’re over 21 with U.S. citizen parents, they can sponsor you, but wait times may exceed seven years. Under 21? It’s usually less than a year.

  • A U.S. citizen sibling over 21 can sponsor you, though wait times may stretch beyond 10 years.

Check the U.S. Department of State’s monthly bulletins for the latest wait times on family- and employment-based sponsorships. Ready to explore this option? Contact us to discuss your unique situation!

Are You Married to a U.S. Citizen?

Question 2: Are you married to an American citizen?

Your U.S. citizen spouse can sponsor you for a Green Card in just 6–12 months, whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad. Immigration processes can be complex, even for experts, and DIY attempts often lead to overwhelming challenges. Avoid pitfalls by starting with our experienced attorneys. We’ll guide you on critical decisions, like filing from inside or outside the U.S., ensuring a smooth journey.

Engaged to a U.S. Citizen?

Question 3: Do you have an American citizen fiancé(e)?

Your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) can sponsor you for a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa, allowing entry to the U.S. for marriage within 90 days. The process takes 3–9 months, but many factors require careful planning. Book a detailed consultation with our team to make the best choices for your future.
