Help a family member immigrate with clarity and care.
If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to help certain family members apply for lawful permanent residence in the United States. The correct process depends on your status, your relationship to the family member, where they live, how they entered the United States, and whether there are any past immigration issues.
Family sponsorship options
- Spouses.
- Parents.
- Children.
- Sons and daughters.
- Siblings.
- Certain family members living inside or outside the United States.
Adjustment of status
If your family member is already in the United States, they may be able to apply for a green card without leaving the country. We review eligibility, entry history, family relationship, prior immigration filings, and possible complications before preparing the application.
Consular processing
If your family member is outside the United States, their case may need to go through a U.S. consulate abroad. Consular processing can involve the family petition, National Visa Center, financial sponsorship documents, civil documents, medical exam, and consular interview.
Overstays and immigration history
Some family immigration cases involve overstays, unlawful presence, prior entries, prior denials, or other immigration concerns. Do not assume your family member has no options. Do not assume they are safe to file without review.
