How Can I Bring My Family Members To The United States?
If you are a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you may have the opportunity to bring eligible family members to the United States, allowing you to reunite with your loved ones in the land of opportunity. In order to facilitate this process, your family members must apply for a family-based immigrant visa, which will enable them to obtain lawful permanent residency as well and enjoy the rights and benefits that come with it.
Attorney Maria Aguila is dedicated to assisting clients nationwide in navigating this complex and often daunting process. She focuses on helping families understand the various requirements, gathering the necessary documentation, and meticulously completing the many forms that are involved in applying for immigrant visas. By working closely with you and your family members throughout each step, she ensures that everything is handled with care and precision.
This attention to detail not only helps alleviate the stress often associated with immigration procedures but also significantly increases the likelihood of a successful outcome, giving your loved ones the invaluable opportunity to join you in the United States on a permanent basis.

Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?
Two main categories of family members may be eligible to apply for family-based immigration: immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and a broader group known as preference relatives. Under immigration law, immediate relatives include a U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried minor children, and parents, as long as the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old. Preference relatives fall into four levels, beginning with a U.S. citizen’s adult unmarried children, followed by the spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents. The next category consists of a U.S. citizen’s married children, and the final category includes the siblings of U.S. citizens who are at least 21 years old.
Fiancés of U.S. citizens may also qualify for a special visa and are treated similarly to immediate relatives, provided the marriage takes place within 90 days of entering the United States.
Because each category has different requirements, documentation, and wait times, having careful guidance can help prevent delays and ensure everything is completed properly. Florida Immigration Law Firm
works with clients nationwide to review eligibility, prepare forms, and make sure all steps are in order. You are encouraged to schedule an appointment to begin the process and help bring your loved ones to the United States.
How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?
Immediate relatives can apply for a visa without waiting for a visa number to become available, but preference relatives usually face a wait because the United States limits the number of immigrant visas issued each year for each country. This makes it especially important for preference relatives to file their petitions as early as possible, since the government processes these cases based on the filing date. In countries with high demand, the wait time can be lengthy—often stretching into several years before a person is eligible to enter the United States.
Florida Immigration Law Firm helps clients nationwide begin this process correctly and without unnecessary delays. By reviewing eligibility, preparing documentation, and ensuring filings are submitted properly, she works to put your loved ones in the best possible position. You are encouraged to reach out and get the process started.
