Family-Based Immigration
Keeping families together is at the heart of U.S. immigration law, and it is one of the primary focuses of our practice.
We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in petitioning for eligible family members, including spouses, parents, children, and siblings. Whether your loved one is already in the United States or residing abroad, we guide you through each stage of the immigration process.
Our family immigration services include:
  • Immediate Relative Petitions
  • Family Preference Petitions
  • Marriage-Based Green Cards
  • Parent Petitions
  • Child and Adult Child Petitions
  • Sibling Petitions
  • Fiancé (K-1) Visas
  • Consular Processing
  • Adjustment of Status
  • Appeals
  • Motions to reopen
  • Motions to Reconsider
  • Appeals: Requests a higher authority (like the Board of Immigration Appeals or the Administrative Appeals Office) to review a lower office's unfavorable decision because it was legally or factually incorrect.
Timeline: Typically requires filing within 30 days of the decision (33 days if sent by mail).
Action: Use the USCIS Form I-290B or check the appropriate EOIR Appeals guidelines if dealing with the immigration court system.
  • Motions to Reopen: Asks the same officer or court that made the decision to reexamine the case based on new facts. You must provide new, material evidence that was previously unavailable.
Timeline: For USCIS, usually within 30 days. In Immigration Court (EOIR), the limit is generally 90 days from the final order of removal.
  • Motions to Reconsider: Asks the same officer or court to review their decision based on a claim that they incorrectly applied law or policy. It must be based entirely on the existing record at the time of the original decision.
Timeline: Usually must be filed within 30 days of the decision
Our goal is to help families navigate the immigration process with confidence while minimizing delays and avoiding unnecessary complications.
