Family Based Immigration Lawyer
Your Path to a Family Based
Green Card
If you’re a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and you want to bring your loved ones to the United States, a family-based green card may be the solution. At The Grande Law Firm, we understand that family immigration isn’t just about completing paperwork—it’s about ensuring your family can be together and live a better life. We know the fear of being permanently separated from your loved ones can feel overwhelming, and the thought of being away from them, even temporarily, is stressful and unfair.
Navigating the family based green card process can be daunting, especially when you’re worried about the financial strain of being apart and the uncertainty of what’s ahead. A family based immigration lawyer can guide you through the entire process, ensuring that you and your family can reunite and stay together in the U.S. We’re committed to providing compassionate support every step of the way, including helping you navigate complex situations like removal of conditions for green card holders. Our goal is to make the process as clear and efficient as possible, so you can focus on what matters most—building a future together, without the weight of fear or separation holding you back.
What is a
Family Based
Green Card
A family based green card allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residency in the United States. It is one of the most common pathways for family reunification. There are two main categories of family members who can apply:
Immediate relatives of
U.S. citizens
Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents (if the U.S. citizen is over 21).
Other family
Members
Unmarried adult children (21 and older), married children, siblings (if the U.S. citizen is over 21), and spouses and children of lawful permanent residents.
A family based green card provides security and stability by offering the chance for family members to reunite and live together in the U.S. As one of the most sought-after immigration benefits, a family based green card is essential for maintaining strong family bonds across borders.
Who is Eligible for a Family Based
Green Card
Eligibility for a family based green card is based on the relationship between the petitioner (the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) and the family member they wish to sponsor. Here’s a breakdown of eligible family members:
Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens
- Spouses
- Unmarried children under the age of 21
- Parents (if the U.S. citizen is over 21)
Other Family Members of U.S. Citizens and LPRs Relatives of U.S. Citizens
- Unmarried adult children (21 and older)
- Married children
- Siblings (if the U.S. citizen is over 21)
- Spouses and children of lawful permanent residents
Preference Categories
Some family members may fall under preference categories, which can lead to longer wait times for a green card. For example, family members of green card holders may face a longer processing time compared to immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. If you are unsure whether you meet the eligibility criteria, a family based immigration lawyer can help evaluate your case and provide guidance.
