Family Immigration Law

Family law immigration refers to the area of immigration law that focuses on allowing family members to reunite and live together in a new country. This typically involves processes like sponsoring a spouse, children, parents, or siblings for legal residency or citizenship. Family law immigration aims to prioritize family unity and offers pathways for family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to obtain visas and green cards based on their familial relationships. This area of law also includes navigating the legal requirements and procedures to ensure that family-based immigration applications meet all necessary criteria and regulations.

Non-Immigrant Visas

Non-Immigrant visas are issued to individuals who wish to enter a country temporarily for a specific purpose, such as tourism, business, study, or temporary employment. Unlike immigrant visas, which are for those seeking permanent residency, nonimmigrant visas are for short-term stays and have defined time limits and conditions. Each type of nonimmigrant visa corresponds to the specific purpose of the visit, such as a tourist visa (B-2), student visa (F-1), or temporary work visa (H-1B). Holders of nonimmigrant visas must adhere to the terms of their visa and return to their home country once their authorized stay is complete.

Granted to individuals entering for a specific purpose and duration.

Special Immigrants

Special immigrants are individuals who are granted immigration status in a country under specific categories defined by law, often due to unique circumstances or contributions. In the United States, special immigrant categories include certain religious workers, employees of the U.S. government abroad, Iraqi or Afghan translators or interpreters who worked with the U.S. military, and juveniles who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. These individuals can apply for a special immigrant visa (SIV), which allows them to become lawful permanent residents. The special immigrant designation acknowledges their unique situations or services provided, offering a path to residency that might not be available through regular immigration channels.
