FAQ Section
1. How long does the family-based immigration process take?
The timeline varies depending on the type of petition, the relationship to the petitioner, and whether the family member is inside or outside the U.S. For example:
Spousal visas typically take 12–18 months.
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (e.g., parents, minor children) generally process faster than other family preference categories. We’ll provide a personalized timeline after assessing your case.
2. Can I sponsor a family member if I don’t meet the income requirements?
Yes, it’s possible. If you don’t meet the income requirements, you can use a co-sponsor or joint sponsor who meets the guidelines to support your petition. We can help you determine the best approach.
3. What documents are needed to prove my relationship?
The required documents depend on your relationship. Common examples include:
For a spouse: Marriage certificate, photos together, joint bank accounts, and affidavits from friends or family.
For parents or children: Birth certificates showing the relationship.
For siblings: Birth certificates for both siblings showing the same parent(s).
We’ll guide you in gathering the right evidence.
4. Can my family member visit the U.S. while their petition is pending?
In many cases, family members can apply for a visitor visa (B-2) to visit the U.S. However, they must prove their intent to return to their home country after their visit. Having an immigration petition pending may make it more challenging to obtain a visitor visa, but it is not impossible.
5. What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE)?
An RFE is a request from USCIS for additional documents or information to support your petition. It’s common and does not mean your case will be denied. We’ll work with you to respond promptly and effectively to ensure your case stays on track.
