We prepare I-130, I-485, I-864, and waiver packages around the evidence required by USCIS and the National Visa Center.
VAWA self-petitions and hardship waivers can involve sensitive personal circumstances. We handle these matters with the confidentiality and care they require.
U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings, while green card holders can sponsor spouses and unmarried children. Cases generally begin with Form I-130 and require financial sponsorship through Form I-864. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens have no annual visa limit, while family preference categories are subject to the Visa Bulletin. Our family-based immigration lawyers help identify the appropriate category and prepare the petition.
Adjustment of status through Form I-485 allows eligible applicants already in the United States to complete the green card process without leaving the country. Eligibility generally requires lawful admission or parole, with limited exceptions. Applicants may also qualify for work authorization and advance parole while the case is pending. Careful filing is essential in cases involving family immigration law.
Consular processing is generally used when a beneficiary is outside the United States. After petition approval, the National Visa Center collects fees, the DS-260 application, and civil documents before scheduling a U.S. embassy or consulate interview. Our family visa lawyers help prepare the required documentation and guide clients through the consular process.
The K-1 visa allows the fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States to marry. The couple generally must have met in person within the previous two years and must marry within 90 days of entry. After marriage, the foreign spouse can pursue adjustment of status. Children may qualify for K-2 visas.
Unlawful presence can result in three-year or ten-year bars after departure from the United States. Certain applicants may seek a waiver by demonstrating extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse or parent. The provisional I-601A waiver can be decided while the applicant remains in the United States. Our humanitarian relief attorneys help develop the required hardship evidence.
VAWA allows certain abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to self-petition through Form I-360 without the abuser's knowledge or signature. VAWA protections apply regardless of gender. An approved self-petition can provide an independent path toward work authorization and a green card, making it an important option for humanitarian immigration relief.
