Family Immigration
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have complex and confusing rules for bringing family into America. In many cases, a spouse and children can easily enter the U.S. when the wife or husband obtains their immigrant or non-immigrant work visa. For other family members, the process is more difficult. The USCIS considers several factors like the country of origin, relationship to the sponsor, marital status and citizenship status of the sponsor when deciding whether to allow additional family members into our country. We take time to explain the process and help applicants with all of the paperwork necessary to acquire a family visa.
Niaz Law Group can assist with all family immigration matters:
- K1 fiance visas (and visas for children of the fiance)
- K3 spouse visas (and visas for the children of a prior marriage)
- Visa applications for extended family
- Applications for permanent residence (green card)
- Applications for Adjustment of Status (from non-immigrant to immigrant)
We are sensitive to our clients’ desire to reunite with the families, and work to make it happen in the shortest time possible within USCIS regulations. We pride ourselves on solid legal advice and thorough documentation of initial applications so that your family members get to join you in America as soon as possible.
Adjustment of Status:
Adjustment of status within the U.S. is available for immediate relatives of spouses or parents of U.S. citizens provided the alien entered with a visa, even though the alien’s authorized stay has expired. It is also available to alien applicants who have obtained a labor certification indicating that there are no qualified or available Americans who are capable of performing the services the applicant does, and provided the alien applicant is in authorized status. Also for aliens of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts, they may apply for adjustment of status, if they are in authorized stay and they can prove that they possess current widespread acclaim and international recognition requiring exceptional ability.
Non-Immigrant Visas
- E1 treaty trader visas — these are appropriate for individuals entering the United States to engage in substantial trade opportunities between the U.S. and their country of citizenship (including Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and other countries with U.S. trade relations).
- E2 treaty investor visas — best for those coming to the U.S. to operate a business, including visas for key employees, executives and management personnel.
- L1 intracompany transfers — allows companies operating both in the US and abroad to transfer certain classes of employees from its foreign operations to the US operations. This includes managers and executives (L-1A) as well as specialized knowledge employees (L-1B).
Immigrant Visas
- EB-5 entrepreneur and investor visa — allows immigrant investors to receive permanent residency upon the investment of $1 million (or $500,000 in targeted employment areas) in a U.S. business.
