FAQs – Family-Based Immigration

1. Who can sponsor a family member for a green card?
U.S. citizens can sponsor certain relatives, such as spouses, minor children, adult sons and daughters, parents, and siblings. Lawful permanent residents can sponsor spouses, minor children, and unmarried adult sons and daughters.
 

2. What’s the difference between consular processing and adjustment of status?
Consular processing is the way to apply for a green card that occurs abroad at a U.S. embassy or consulate, while adjustment of status happens within the U.S. We help our clients determine the right path.
 

3. How long does it take to get a green card through your family?
Timeframes vary widely by relationship type and country. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens generally have shorter waits.
 

4. Can I still apply if I overstayed my visa?
You may be eligible depending on your circumstances. We’ll evaluate your case and present you with available options.
 

5. Do marriage-based green cards require an interview?
Yes, marriage-based green cards generally require an interview. We’ll help you prepare and provide guidance throughout the process. We also offer our clients accompaniment and representation at USCIS interviews.
