Family immigration FAQs

Every case is different. These answers are general information and not legal advice.

Who qualifies as an immediate relative?

In general, spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens may qualify as immediate relatives (with specific requirements and exceptions).

Should I file adjustment of status or consular processing?

It depends on where the beneficiary is located, lawful entry, visa availability, and any potential inadmissibility issues. We help you choose the safest, most efficient option.

What evidence is needed for a marriage-based case?

Common evidence includes joint financial documents, shared residence proof, photos, travel records, communications, and affidavits—tailored to your situation.

What if there are prior immigration violations or criminal issues?

These issues can affect eligibility and may require a waiver or a different strategy. We review your history carefully before filing.

How long will my case take?

Timelines vary by category, processing location, and government workload. We’ll provide realistic expectations and keep you updated as your case progresses.

Can you help if I receive an RFE or NOID?

Yes. We develop a targeted response strategy and organize evidence to address the government’s concerns clearly and persuasively.
