Family-Based Petitions
Fiancé Visas (K1 and K3)
The K-1 visa, or the fiancé(e) visa, allows a foreign national engaged to a U.S. citizen to enter the United States to get married. The U.S. citizen must petition for their fiancé(e), and once granted, the couple must marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival. After marriage, the foreign national can apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident. This visa offers an efficient way for engaged couples to unite in the U.S. and begin the process toward permanent residency.
Adjusting your relative’s status while in the US
The K-1 visa, or the fiancé(e) visa, allows a foreign national engaged to a U.S. citizen to enter the United States to get married. The U.S. citizen must petition for their fiancé(e), and once granted, the couple must marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival. After marriage, the foreign national can apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident. This process provides a streamlined path for families to stay together while securing lawful permanent residency within the United States.
Bring your relatives through consular processing
Bringing relatives to the U.S. through consular processing allows U.S. citizens and green card holders to sponsor family members for immigrant visas. As a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you can petition for your spouse and children under 21 years old, while only U.S. citizens can sponsor parents and siblings. After approval of the petition, the relative will attend a visa interview at a U.S. consulate abroad, and upon entry into the U.S., they will become lawful permanent residents.

Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence
The Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (Form I-751) is a crucial step for conditional permanent residents who obtained their Green Card through marriage. Conditional Green Cards are issued to individuals whose marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident was less than two years old at the time of approval. This conditional status ensures the marriage is bona fide and not solely for immigration purposes.
