Not every situation is the same, and we are here to provide the individualized service you need to guide you through the immigration process.
The first step in obtaining an immigrant visa for a family member is to file an I-130 “Petition for Alien Relative.” The likelihood of the petition being granted depends on whether the petitioner is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident and what level of preference is afforded to the beneficiary.
In an effort to determine the preference you will be given, it's best to speak with an immigration attorney so you can get the most accurate idea of what you are facing when you apply for a family-based green card.
If you are at least eighteen years of age, you may apply for naturalization once you have been a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, or once you have been a lawful permanent resident for at least three years if you have been married to the same U.S. citizen for that entire length of time.
You will be required to pass a citizenship test that will test your knowledge of American history and civics as well as your knowledge of the English language. You must also prove that you have a “good moral character.”
The landscape of rights afforded to same-sex couples (including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered) in immigration proceedings has changed significantly. U.S. federal agencies must allow federal benefits to same-sex married couples just as they would to opposite-sex married couples.
For immigration purposes, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident may now petition on behalf of his or her same-sex spouse for an immigrant visa. Even if the couple does not live in a state which recognizes same-sex marriages, the USCIS will consider the state where the marriage took place to determine if the marriage is valid for immigration purposes.
