Family Based Immigration

Family Immigration Services

At the Law Offices of Mary Kennedy, we understand how important family is and the critical role it plays in the immigration process. Our dedicated Family Immigration team is here to help you reunite with your loved ones through a variety of family-based immigration options. Whether you're sponsoring a spouse, child, parent, or sibling, we provide expert legal guidance to navigate the complexities of U.S. immigration laws.

Our Family Immigration services include:

• Green Cards for Immediate Relatives :
  We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in sponsoring immediate family members, including spouses, children, and parents, for lawful permanent residency (Green Cards) through the I-130 petition process.
• Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1) :
  For U.S. citizens wishing to bring their fiancé(e) to the U.S. for marriage, we guide you through the K-1 visa application process, ensuring compliance with all requirements for a smooth transition.
• H-4 Visa for Dependents :
  If you hold an H-1B visa, we help your spouse and children under 21 obtain H-4 dependent visas, enabling them to reside with you in the U.S. We also assist with H-4 EAD applications, allowing eligible spouses to work in the U.S.
• Adjustment of Status :
  We assist family members already in the U.S. in adjusting their status to become lawful permanent residents without leaving the country. This option is available for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
• Consular Processing :
  For family members residing outside the U.S., we handle consular processing of immigrant visas through U.S. embassies and consulates, ensuring efficient communication and a smooth process.
• Removal of Conditions on Permanent Residency (Form I-751) :
  We assist conditional permanent residents, particularly those married to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, in removing the conditions on their green card to obtain permanent residency status.
• Waivers and Appeals :
  If your family immigration case encounters obstacles such as inadmissibility or visa denials, our experienced attorneys will help you file waivers (such as the I-601A waiver) or appeals to resolve these issues and keep your family together.
• V Visas for Family Reunification :
  If you are waiting on an immigrant visa petition for your spouse or children, we assist with V visas, allowing eligible family members to reside and work in the U.S. while waiting for visa processing.
• I-539 Change of Status and Extensions :
  We provide expert guidance on extending your stay or changing your nonimmigrant status, ensuring compliance with all regulations.
• I-765 Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) :
  We guide individuals through the EAD application process, helping them secure the legal right to work in the U.S.
