Family Immigration

North Carolina Family Immigration Attorney

Families belong together in a place where they are safe and have opportunities. Oftentimes, a family member must be a legal permanent resident or a U.S. citizen to help another family member. This process often takes years, with multiple delays and waiting periods. To make the process more frustrating, immigration laws and policies are constantly changing, sometimes even within the same day!

If you want to achieve family unity in the U.S. through immigration, you should always seek assistance from a family immigration lawyer. Vestal Immigration Law, located in North Carolina, has assisted hundreds of clients and their families to stay together or be reunited. Contact us for more information today.

Our Passion for Family Immigration

Attorney Carla Vestal knows how stressful the ever-changing immigration laws can be for family members who wish to immigrate to the United States. She will examine each situation in light of current immigration policy and devise the best strategy for clients to experience the most efficient immigration process possible.

When family members rely on well-meaning friends and family members for legal advice, there are many things that can delay the case and some mistakes may be so severe that the result could be removal from the United States. Do not risk these problems – instead, seek assistance from the start of the process from the team at Vestal Immigration.

Family Immigration Cases

There are two ways people might qualify for family immigration, including:

  • Spouses of U.S. citizens, unmarried child (under age 21) of a U.S. citizen, and parents of a U.S. citizen (21 years of age and older)
  • Family preference categories – There are several categories of family preference, including:
    • Unmarried adult children of citizens
    • Spouses and children of lawful permanent residents
    • Married adult children of citizens
    • Siblings of citizens, if U.S. citizen is 21 years old or older

There is not a cap on the number of immediate relatives who can obtain permission to come to the U.S. via consular processing. On the other hand, there are limits to family preference categories and certain categories have long wait times from certain countries.

The Family Immigration Process

Vestal Immigration can assist with every step of the process, including:

  • Adjustment of Status
  • Consular Processing
  • Waivers
  • Removal of Conditions
  • Fiancé(e) Visa
  • Other humanitarian assistance

The goal is to obtain a green card for qualified family members so they can stay in the U.S. as permanent residents. There are different methods of applying for green cards, depending on your situation. 

Spouses of citizens who have been married for less than two years might receive conditional green cards, which expire after two years and have conditions attached. If you have a conditional green card, you must apply for a full green card in the 90 days before your conditional documents expire. Our firm helps people provide evidence that they have a bona fide marriage, so they can receive a full green card and remain as a lawful permanent resident without conditions.
