Family-Based Visas

At NextStep Law Firm, we understand the importance of family unity and are dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of family-based immigration. Our experienced legal team provides comprehensive services to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) in bringing their loved ones to the United States.

Our Family-Based Immigration Services Include:

Immediate Relative Visas

U.S. citizens can petition for their immediate relatives, including spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents. These visas are not subject to annual numerical limits, ensuring quicker processing times.

Family Preference Visas

For other qualifying relatives, such as adult children and siblings of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of LPRs, family preference categories apply. These visas are subject to annual caps, and processing times may vary based on the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin.​

Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1)

U.S. citizens can bring their foreign fiancé(e)s to the U.S. through the K-1 visa process. After entering the U.S., the couple must marry within 90 days, allowing the foreign national to apply for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident.​

Spouse Visas (CR-1/IR-1)

Married couples can apply for immigrant visas based on their marriage. The CR-1 visa is for couples married for less than two years, granting conditional permanent resident status. The IR-1 visa is for couples married for more than two years, granting permanent resident status.​

Parent Visas

U.S. citizens can petition for their parents to immigrate to the United States. The process involves filing Form I-130 and, if the parent is outside the U.S., proceeding with consular processing.
