Family-Based Immigration

Providence, Rhode Island Family-Based Immigration Lawyers

Family-based immigration can be extremely rewarding for an attorney in uniting members of a family in the United States. At Kaplan & Associates Inc. in Providence, Rhode Island, we have helped our clients secure the following types of family-based immigration visas:

• K Fiancé Visa
• Spousal Visas
• Child, Sibling, and Parent Visas
• F-1/M-1 Student Visas
• J-1 Exchange Visitor Visas

At Kaplan & Associates Inc., our family-based immigration attorneys recognize the complexity and ever-changing nature of immigration laws. The issues are saturated with media coverage with everyone taking one side or another. Our job is not to take sides, but to represent our clients who want to legally bring family members to the United States.

Foreign nationals can also apply for a temporary fiancé visa to travel to the United States and get married. Following the completion of the ceremony, that individual can apply for permanent residence, a process that is separate from the initial visa application.

Those who are citizens can sponsor family members for family-based immigration visas, including a spouse, parent, married and unmarried child, or siblings. There are age requirements, but we will clearly communicate that to you during the initial meeting. Permanent residents can petition on behalf of their spouse and unmarried children under 21. Please know that citizens get a higher priority than permanent residents.

We oversee all aspects of a family-based immigration case, including the initial application for permanent residence, consular processing, immigrations through marriage, affidavit of support, and any grounds and waivers of inadmissibility. The family-based immigration process is lengthy and certain family members will have a higher priority and less of a waiting period.
