Dedicated Illinois Family Immigration Attorneys

It is possible for citizens of the United States or lawful permanent residents (those living in the country but not yet citizens) to apply for an immigrant visa through a petition. Those who are married to a U.S. citizen, their children, parents, and siblings, or those who are married to lawful permanent residents, may receive an immigrant visa, or green card.

Zara Law Group is an Illinois law firm that can assist you in filing a petition allowing your family members to enter the United States and rejoin your family. Our expertise in immigration law will be able to assist you in the process of obtaining a green card so that your family can reunite once again.

We understand that immigration matters can be stressful and complicated, which is why we provide compassionate legal representation to help families achieve their immigration goals.

After obtaining a green card, relatives may eventually be eligible for citizenship through naturalization once they have met certain requirements to qualify for citizenship through immigration.

Eligibility requirements for family members who want to immigrate

You will need to file a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in order to obtain a green card for one of your eligible family members. The petition is known as a Form I-130 and requires your information, the beneficiary's information, as well as your relationship with the beneficiary. If you do not have U.S. citizenship or status as a U.S. citizen, you will be required to provide a written response.

Applicants must be lawful permanent residents and provide an affidavit stating that they are going to be financially responsible for the immigrants. In addition, your beneficiary will have to undergo health screening and background checks in order to be considered for permanent residency.

Becoming a lawful permanent resident through family members

It is possible to obtain family-based green cards if you will be sponsored by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who is at least 21 years old and who has no criminal record. It is possible to obtain the following types of family-based green cards:

1. Applying for an available Illinois Family Visa

There is an option to apply for an immigrant visa right away for close relatives of U.S. citizens. This family member does not need to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available. These relatives include:

• Citizens' spouses
• Unmarried children of citizen parents
• Adopted orphans of citizen parents who are living abroad
• Citizen parents of adult children

If an EB-1 visa is not currently available, it's possible to immigrate through other methods

There will be some circumstances in which an immigrant visa will not be immediately available for relatives who are distantly related to U.S. citizens, as well as some lawful permanent residents. These circumstances include:

• Children of citizens who are over 21 years old and unmarried: If you are the child of a U.S. citizen who is over 21 years old and unmarried, our Illinois immigration attorneys can help you obtain a visa to live and work in the United States.
