Question 1

Who can I sponsor through family immigration?

Accepted Answer

U.S. citizens can typically sponsor spouses, fiancé(e)s, children, parents, and siblings (depending on age and marital status). Permanent residents (Green Card holders) can usually sponsor spouses and unmarried children. We’ll confirm eligibility and map the fastest viable route for your family member.

Question 2

How do marriage-based green cards work?

Accepted Answer

Most cases involve filing an I-130 petition to prove a valid marriage with either Adjustment of Status (if your spouse is in the U.S.) or Consular Processing (if abroad). We assemble evidence, submit the forms, and prepare you and your spouse for the interview so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 3

What is a K-1 fiancé(e) visa?

Accepted Answer

A K-1 lets the fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen enter the U.S. to marry within 90 days, then apply for a Green Card. You’ll need to show a bona fide relationship and that you’ve met in person (with limited exceptions). We prepare the petition and visa application and help your fiancé(e) get ready for the consular interview.

Question 4

How long does the process take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by case type and government workload. Marriage-based cases can take several months to a year or more, while other family categories may have longer waits due to annual caps. We will work diligently to provide up-to-date time frames and options, and to prevent delays by filing complete and accurate applications.

Question 5

Do you offer flat fees?

Accepted Answer

Many family immigration matters qualify for flat-fee packages. We will provide a comprehensive cost and filing fee breakdown so that you can be confident about what to expect.

Question 6

Do I need a lawyer to apply for a visa or green card?

Accepted Answer

It’s not required, but experienced counsel can reduce errors, avoid Requests For Evidence, and help guide you through complex consular processing and changing USCIS policies. Our role is to make your process clearer, faster, and less stressful.
