Ready to Take the First Step Toward Reuniting Your Family?
If you are a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident, you can help your close family members move to the United States. This process is called family-based immigration.
The U.S. government has rules for who can apply. These rules are part of a law called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This law explains how U.S. citizens and green card holders can sponsor (help) certain family members get a visa to live in the U.S.
At Coleman Law Group, we work hard to make the family-based immigration process easy.
We understand how complex immigrant visa applications can be. At Coleman Law Group, we deliver personalized legal help to U.S. citizens and permanent residents to bring their families from outside the United States into the country legally through family-based petitions. We have the help you need to secure an immigrant visa for a spouse, a parent, or your child. And at Coleman Law Group, we will support you every step of the way.
Each one of the Coleman Law Group family-based immigration lawyers speaks both English and Spanish. This allows us to provide our expert legal services to the families who use one or both of these languages.
We understand how important clear communication can be. That is why we take pride in offering bilingual legal services in English and Spanish. With Coleman Law, you know that you will be listened to, heard, and understood—no matter what language you speak.
Family-based immigration allows United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to help their immediate relatives get an immigrant visa. Legislation called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) outlines eligibility and requirements for petitioning family members. This act explains how relatives living legally in the U.S. can sponsor preference relatives (the intending immigrant) to gain a visa to live here legally.
Our law firm makes it easier for you to file Form I-130. This is the Petition for Alien Relative form. We guide beneficiaries through USCIS procedures, adjustment of status, and complex consulate processing. We can help you with every step of the process.
We can help you apply for the Department of State’s consular process or for an adjustment of status (Form I-485).
Don’t Navigate Immigration Alone—We’re Here for Your Family.
1.) Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas (IR Categories)
U.S. citizens can file an I-130 petition for their immediate relatives. Immediate relatives are spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents (if the petitioner is at least 21 years of age). Your immediate relatives do not need to wait for visas to be available. Their applications are processed as soon as the petition is approved.
2.) Family Preference Visas (F Categories)
The process is different for lawful permanent residents (LPRs). They must submit Form I-130 to sponsor unmarried child spouses. The Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State gives updates on priority dates. This shows when visas are available for different family preference categories. The categories are:
1.) First Preference (F1)
F1 is unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens
2.) Second Preference (F2A & F2B)
F2A and F2B are spouses and unmarried children of LPRs
3.) Third Preference (F3)
These are any married children of U.S. citizens
4.) Fourth Preference (F4)
This preference category is for siblings of U.S. citizens
Coleman Law Group has extensive experience handling family-based immigration cases. We have successfully helped clients obtain green cards through consular processing and adjustment of status.

Your Family’s Immigration Journey Deserves Care.
Only some applicants are eligible to apply for a family-based immigrant visa. These are split into two basic categories: immediate relatives and preference category beneficiaries, such as spouses, children, and siblings of U.S. citizens or LPRs.
Processing times vary, but immediate relatives typically experience faster processing compared to family preference categories.
A priority date determines your place in the visa queue. It is crucial for preference categories.
Yes, if you meet the eligibility criteria and visas are available, you can file Form I-485 to adjust your status.
You may appeal the decision or refile with additional evidence. Our attorneys can help navigate these options.
The Department of State publishes the Visa Bulletin monthly to provide updates on when visas are available.
Yes, the K-1 visa allows your fiancé to enter the U.S. and apply for adjustment of status after marriage.
Proof of relationship, financial support documents, and identity verification are required.

The Child Status Protection Act was enacted by the CSPA in 2002. The act helps preserve child status for particular beneficiaries who would have turned 21 and "aged out" before they could be issued a visa due to visa processing delays.
