Family Petitions

Reunite your family in the U.S. with our family petition assistance.

What is the family petition?

The family petition is a process by which a U.S. citizen or permanent resident applies to allow a member of his or her foreign family to obtain an immigrant visa to enter and live in the United States on a permanent basis. This petition allows family members to join their loved ones in the country.

Depending on the relationship and status of the sponsor, there are different categories of family petition. Some categories include spouses, minor or adult unmarried children, parents and siblings of U.S. citizens.
