Family-Based Visas and Green Cards
The process of obtaining a family-based visa or green card can take months to years depending on the relationship between the individual seeking a visa and the relative who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
Our firm will help you in preparing your family-based petition, simplifying the process, and keeping you up to date on all important matters throughout. We will continue to monitor USCIS processing times to let you and your loved ones know when you can expect your case to be adjudicated.
