What Our Family-Based Immigration Legal Services Involve?
Petitioning For Family Members To Get Into The US
We will help you file a petition to enable your family member to get into the US. A family and immigration lawyer from our law firm will walk you through the process. There are requirements that you must meet to be able to sponsor a family member to get into the US. They include:

- Prove you have a qualifying relationship with the applicant
- Be able to demonstrate you can support the family applicant at 125% or above the poverty line

An experienced family immigration lawyer will enable you to know whether you have qualified or you’re eligible to petition for your family member.
