Family-Based Petitions

Fiancé Visas (K-1 and K-3)

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

Adjusting Your Relative's Status While in the U.S. allows a foreign national to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the United States. A U.S. citizen must petition for the relative, and once the petition is approved, the adjustment of status process can move forward. This process gives families a streamlined way to stay together and obtain lawful permanent residence in the U.S.

Bring your relatives through consular processing

Consular processing allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to apply for immigrant visas for relatives living abroad. After USCIS approves the petition, the case is forwarded to the Department of State, and the applicant attends an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate.

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.
