Help For Family Based Immigration
For families to immigrate into the United States, a foreign national must have an approved petition by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is submitted by either a U.S. lawful permanent resident relative or U.S. citizen. Occasionally, a U.S. citizen who is residing abroad can file a petition for immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy, or with the USCIS overseas, when the American citizen petitioner has lived there for the past 6 months and has permission from the host country to reside there. To determine eligibility for direct filing, the U.S. Embassy must be contacted. For questions about this, contact our family based immigration attorney today.
Immigrant visas for Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens (IR) are based on close family relationships with the U.S. citizen, such as children, spouses, and parents. As our Alexandria family based immigration lawyer explains, IR classification includes:
- Child who is unmarried, younger than 21 years of age of the U.S. citizen
- Spouse of the U.S. citizen
- Orphan to be adopted by U.S. citizen in United States
- Orphan adopted abroad by U.S. citizen
- Parents of U.S. citizen who is 21 years or older
