Family-based immigration is grounded in INA §§ 201 and 203, codified at 8 U.S.C. §§ 1151 and 1153, which define immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and family-sponsored preference categories.

Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP specializes in immigration issues related to businesses. While we do not file family petitions, we collaborate with experienced attorneys specializing in immigration law, with a focus on reuniting families through visas and green cards.

How Family-Based Immigration Works

Under the INA:

  • Immediate relatives (spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens 21 or older) are not subject to annual numerical limits (U.S. Code)
  • Family preference categories include adult children and siblings of U.S. citizens and certain relatives of lawful permanent residents, subject to worldwide and per-country caps (U.S. Code)

Family immigration may involve filing petitions with USCIS, undergoing consular processing abroad, or adjusting status in the United States.
