Frequently Asked Questions About Family Immigration
What is the difference between a marriage-based green card and a fiancé(e) visa?
A marriage-based green card is for couples who are already married. A K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows the foreign partner to enter the U.S. to marry a U.S. citizen within 90 days of arrival, after which they apply for adjustment of status. Both processes require careful documentation and timing.
Can I petition for a spouse or child living outside the U.S.?
Yes. This is called consular processing. We prepare your petition and coordinate with the National Visa Center and the U.S. consulate in the applicant’s home country. Our firm has offices in Mexico, Portugal and Thailand to support clients locally in Latin America, Europe and Asia.
How long does the family immigration process take?
Spouse and fiancé(e) cases typically take 10 to 18 months, depending on processing location and current USCIS or embassy backlogs. Parental or sibling petitions may take longer due to visa category limitations.
Does your firm work with international clients?
Yes. We serve clients throughout the United States and internationally. With attorneys and staff fluent in multiple languages and physical offices in key regions, we can handle your case whether you are in Washington, D.C. or overseas.
