Our Gainesville Family-Based Visa Lawyers Understand How These Visas Work
At Bogin, Munns & Munns, our immigration lawyers know how to help our clients determine their options and petition for immigrant visas. We also file applications for nonimmigrant visas to ensure your family can reunite and remain together during this process when necessary.
In general, there are two ways to get a family-based immigrant visa. They include:
- Being sponsored by an immediate relative who is a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR)
- Being sponsored by a distant family member who is a U.S. citizen
Having a Sponsor Is One Aspect of the Process
There is more to securing a visa than simply having a family member to sponsor you, though. The criteria for who qualifies for each type of visa and what is required of a sponsor differ.
An immediate relative could sponsor your family-based immigrant visa if:
- They are age 21 or over.
- They are your child, parent, or spouse.
A more distant relative could sponsor you based on your situation. Our team can assess your circumstances and explain more during your initial consultation.
Types of Family-Based Visas Possible With Help From Our Team
Our Gainesville family-based visa attorneys help clients petition for many types of visas for their loved ones. These could include:
- F-2: This visa is for spouses, minor children, and unmarried children over age 21 of Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs).
- F-3: This visa is for married adult children of U.S. citizens and can include their spouses and children.
- F-4: This visa is for brothers and sisters, spouses, and minor children of U.S. citizens.
- K-1: This is a fiancé(e) visa meant for U.S. citizens planning to marry a foreign national.
- K-2: This visa is for the unmarried children (under age 21) of a K-1 immigrant visa holder.
- K-3: This visa helps keep families of U.S. citizens together while a spouse waits for their immigrant visa to receive approval.
- K-4: This visa is the counterpart of the K-3 and allows unmarried children to stay with their families while their immigrant visas process.
All of these visas and the petitioning process are managed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the U.S. Department of State. Our team of Gainesville immigration lawyers understands how each one works and can offer advice that suits your situation. We can help you make your initial decisions or navigate any issues or concerns that arise.
