All About Family Visas In California
Family-based immigration allows citizens of the United States to bring home family members who live abroad. Here are some of the potential family visas available:
- IR visa: For U.S. citizens’ immediate relatives, including spouses, unmarried children who are 21 or under, and parents
- F-1 visa: For unmarried adult children of American citizens
- F-2 visa: For spouses and unmarried adult children of lawful permanent residents
- F-3 visa: For the married, adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
- F-4 visa: For the siblings of American citizens
- K-1 visa: For fiancés of American citizens
- K-3 visa: For spouses of American citizens awaiting approval of an immigrant visa petition
Having an immigration lawyer on your side is essential. We can help you navigate the complex visa process, gather the necessary documentation and represent you before immigration authorities. Our goal is to reunite you with your loved ones as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Can I Bring My Family Over On A Nonimmigrant Visa?
Yes, you can bring your family over on a nonimmigrant visa. Certain nonimmigrant visas allow family members to accompany you to the United States. For example, if you have an H-1B visa, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can apply for H-4 visas. It is important to consult with an immigration lawyer to understand the specific requirements and options available for your situation.
How Long Does Family-Based Immigration Take?
The family-based immigration process can take anywhere from weeks to months, depending on the type of visa and the specific circumstances of your case. Reuniting an entire family, especially if it includes multiple people, can be a lifelong journey. Our family immigration attorneys are dedicated to making the process as fast, smooth and stress-free as possible. They will work tirelessly to ensure your family is together in the U.S.
Immigration Lawyers Who Have Been Through The U.S. Immigration Process
Both Mariano Herrera and Juliette Potter are immigrants themselves. They understand that the U.S. immigration system can be confusing and frustrating. After meeting in law school in Florida and getting married, they are living their own version of the American Dream and truly enjoy helping other immigrants reunite with their family members.
They can assist U.S. citizens and their foreign national family members with visas and extensions, adjustment of status (to permanent resident “green card) and the naturalization process to become American citizens.
