What Are Family-Based Visas?

Family-based visas exist to help qualifying relatives live in the United States through sponsorship by a U.S. citizen (and, in some cases, other qualifying family relationships). The primary goal is family unity, but the process requires specific forms, evidence, and procedural steps.

In many marriage-based cases handled by our office, the process begins with the U.S. citizen spouse filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with USCIS. If the immigrant spouse is already in the United States, Form I-485, Application for Adjustment of Status, may be filed concurrently with Form I-130.

Types of Family-Based Visas We Handle

⚖️ Adjustment of status through marriage to a U.S. citizen (marriage in the U.S.)
⚖️ Marriage outside the U.S. – consular processing
⚖️ Conditional green card (if marriage less than two years old at approval)
⚖️ Removal of conditions (I-751)
⚖️ Waivers of the joint petition requirement (due to death, abuse, divorce)
