Family-Based Immigration
We know how important it is to keep loved ones close. Our Houston office focuses on a variety of family-related immigration services. Here are some of the main areas we cover:
Family Petitions (Form I-130)
This form begins the process of sponsoring relatives for permanent residency. U.S. citizens or Green Card holders use this form to request that a spouse, parent, child, or sibling be allowed to join them in the country. We handle paperwork, spot mistakes that might slow the process, and keep you updated.
Consular Processing
This is for relatives who need to apply for immigrant visas while they are outside the United States. After the I-130 is approved, the person abroad will work with a U.S. consulate or embassy. We help gather documents, check each deadline, and answer questions about the in-person interview.
I-601A Waivers
Some folks cannot complete consular processing because of certain bars or penalties tied to their prior stay in the U.S. An I-601A waiver is a way to ask for a pardon of the unlawful presence bar. By applying for this waiver, families might avoid lengthy separation periods. Our team strives to give each case close attention so that you have a fair shot at success.
Adjustment of Status (I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131, I-864)
Those already in the U.S. who meet certain eligibility rules may file for a Green Card without leaving the country. Adjustment of Status often involves multiple forms:
- I-485: Application to Register Permanent Residence
- I-130: Petition for Alien Relative
- I-765: Work permit application
- I-131: Travel document application
- I-864: Affidavit of Support from the petitioner
We guide families through each step, including how to handle any interviews and which documents to include with the packet.
Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1 / Form I-129F)
A U.S. citizen may request permission for a future spouse to enter the country under a K-1 visa. After they arrive, the couple must marry within 90 days, and then the newlywed can file for a Green Card. This path can feel stressful if you try to do it alone, but we do our best to simplify the sequence so you can plan a happy start to your lives together.
Parole in Place (Military Families – I-131) Leading to Adjustment of Status (I-485 Packet)
Certain family members of U.S. military personnel may qualify for Parole in Place. This allows them to remain in the country without facing removal actions, and it can create a path to a Green Card. We look at whether you qualify and help complete the forms needed, including the follow-up step of filing an adjustment application.
Humanitarian Relief
Not every immigration path is about family ties. For those who faced harm or threats, there are options meant to offer a safe and lawful stay.
U-Visas
This status is available to victims of certain crimes who offer helpful details or assistance to law enforcement. The U-visa can lead to a work permit and, in some cases, permanent residency. We keep an eye on deadlines and agency updates so that applicants can stay informed about what to expect.
U.S. Citizenship & Naturalization
Lawful permanent residents can file for U.S. citizenship through this process. It involves meeting the residency requirement, passing an English and civics test, and showing good moral character. We handle the paperwork, suggest ways to prepare for the interview, and try to remove confusion about any language or documentation issues.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
DACA protects some individuals brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. It also includes a work permit that must be kept up to date. We prepare renewal packets to minimize rejection. Time is critical here, and we aim to submit papers well before the previous status expires.
