Family Immigration​

Family Visa Lawyer

Our office takes great satisfaction in helping reunite families or keeping families together by working with our clients in every step of the immigrant visa or permanent resident application processes. At our Seattle law firm, families receive care and support as well as excellent legal representation during the sometimes discouraging and lengthy processes of family-sponsored visas, adjustment of status, consular processing, and other United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) matters. We are proud to offer our services to any and all types of families including same-sex couples. 

​Contact our office to arrange a consultation regarding family-based immigration. At your consultation, we will tell you exactly what to expect and we can do with and for you. We are respected for our knowledge of US immigration law and known for our dedication to our clients.

Family-based immigration matters the firm is prepared to handle include:

  • I-130 petitions for alien relatives, the first step in the legal immigration process for most family members, including same sex couples and families
  • K-1 visa applications, to permit the fiancé or fiancée of a US citizen to enter the United States in order to marry
  • K-3 visa applications, to allow the spouse of a US citizen to enter the United States on a temporary basis
  • I-485 adjustment of status for family members already present in the US to obtain lawful permanent residency ("green card") necessary to lawfully live and work in the United States on a permanent basis
  • I-601 and I-601A waivers of inadmissibility in conjunction with an application for residency for family members to waive unlawful presence, prior criminal history, and other grounds of inadmissibility
  • I-212 waivers of prior removal or deportation in conjunction with a family member's application for residency
  • I-751 removal of conditions on residence for those whose conditional residency is based on marriage to a US citizen
  • I-751 waiver of the joint filing requirement for the removal of conditions due to abuse, hardship, or showing  a good-faith marriage
  • I-360 self-petitions for survivors of family violence
  • N-400 naturalization applications to obtain citizenship for legal residents, including disability waivers

If you would like assistance with family-sponsored immigration or naturalization, we will explain exactly what can be done in your case. Contact our office for a consultation.
