Family Visas

Southern California Family Visa and Fiancée Visa Lawyers

Please contact us to discuss your unique situation and needs.

A person can qualify for an immigrant visa, or green card, through marriage to a U.S. citizen. It is important to recognize that you may be required to prove the validity of the marriage as part of your visa application process.

Visas for Children, Spouses, Siblings and Parents

U.S. immigration authorities maintain a priority or preference system for family visas that proceeds in the following order:

  • Unmarried children of U.S. citizens
  • Spouses and unmarried children of permanent legal residents
  • Married children of U.S. citizens
  • Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens
  • Parents of U.S. citizens

A complex web of quotas by country and waiting periods dictates how long it will take for your family visa application to be approved. Approximate current waiting times are listed on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Web site, located at www.uscis.gov.
