Family immigration lawyer · Los Angeles and nationwide

Keep your family moving forward—together.

Family-based immigration can bring spouses, parents, children, and fiancé(e)s together in the United States. It can also expose old filing errors, status violations, or admissibility issues. Careful planning begins with the whole immigration history—not just the next form.

Marriage green cards and adjustment of status

For a spouse already in the United States, the process may involve an I-130 family petition and an I-485 adjustment of status application. Preparation can include documenting a bona fide marriage, reviewing entry and status history, addressing financial sponsorship, and preparing both spouses for a USCIS interview.

Consular processing and family petitions

Relatives outside the United States generally complete immigrant visa processing through the National Visa Center and a U.S. embassy or consulate. The right sequence depends on the petitioner’s status, the beneficiary’s relationship, visa availability, prior immigration history, and possible grounds of inadmissibility.

Fiancé(e), parent, and child cases

The firm advises on K-1 fiancé(e) visas, petitions for parents and children, stepchild relationships, same-sex marriage-based immigration, and follow-up applications after entry. Each path has different timing, evidence, and eligibility rules.
