Service Description

Kinship-based petitions are filed by U.S. citizens or permanent residents for the benefit of their family members. Through this process, members associated with immigration law have the possibility to obtain a Green Card, becoming permanent residents and, later, citizens of the United States. The immigration law divides family members into two groups: a) immediate relatives: close relatives of the American citizen, including spouse, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21. b) Preferred relatives: other family members of the American citizen including married children, over 21, brothers or sisters. So as relatives of permanent residents: spouses, single children under 21 or more.
