FAMILY IMMIGRATION CASES

Family Immigration Law in Chicago, Illinois
Family-Based Immigration Lawyers

Immigration law in the United States allows non-citizens to immigrate to the States depending upon their relationship with a legal permanent resident or a United States citizen. There are a few different categories of people that can be sponsored, and they change a bit depending upon both the requester’s status and the beneficiary’s status.

Immediate Relatives of Citizens of the United States

Family – Sponsored Preferences

Citizens of the United States may be eligible to open an immigrant petition for a spouse, parent, sibling, minor child, and adult child (be they unmarried or married). Additionally, citizens can also open a petition that names a fiancé.

Lawful permanent residents – individuals that hold green cards, in other words – can also open petition requests, however it should be noted that their options are a bit limited compared to those of citizens. Instead of the relatively wide variety of individuals that citizens of the United States are allowed to petition, permanent residents are able to open immigrant petition for adult children who are also unmarried, minor children, and spouses.

Keep in mind that “step” relationships as well as adoptive relationships are acknowledged by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). There are a few restrictions in place when it comes to petitions for individuals within this category. Widowers and widows of United States citizens are also eligible to obtain permanent resident status more easily than in the past thanks to recent legislation.

Visa Ineligibility

Everyone will not qualify for visa issuance. USCIS seeks to ensure the welfare, security, and health of the United States as a whole, and therefore restricts visas to certain individuals. Applicants with a communicable disease, dangerous mental or physical disorder, addiction, criminal history, ties to terrorism, and those who are ineligible for citizenship are, among others, usually ineligible for a visa. There are many ways to be found as ineligible, we will explore options to secure your eligibility through waiver(s) and/ or pardon(s).
