Types of Family Petitions
Fiance Visas, Lawful Permanent Residence, Citizenship and Naturalization
The K-1 Fiancé Visa enables U.S. citizens to bring their fiancé to the U.S., requiring the couple to marry within 90 days, after which the spouse can apply for permanent residency.
Waivers
The I-601A waiver allows certain family members to remain in the U.S. while their Green Card application is processed, waiving unlawful presence if extreme hardship to a U.S. citizen or resident is proven.
Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence
Adjustment of status allows individuals already in the U.S. to apply for a Green Card without returning to their home country, enabling them to stay legally during the process and apply for work and travel permits.
I-751 Removal of Conditional Residence
If you received a conditional Green Card through marriage, you must file Form I-751 within 90 days before it expires to remove the conditions and obtain a permanent Green Card, providing proof of a bona fide marriage.
