Category Family-Based Green Card

Family reunification is the cornerstone of United States immigration policy. However, the path to bringing your loved ones to the U.S. is strictly defined by two main factors: your legal status (U.S. Citizen vs. Lawful Permanent Resident) and your relationship to the beneficiary.

This category serves as your comprehensive guide to the Family-Based Immigration system. We break down the critical distinction between ‘Immediate Relatives’ (who face no annual visa caps) and ‘Family Preference Categories’ (who must wait for a visa number according to the Visa Bulletin). At CLINCH LAW FIRM, we provide strategic counsel on filing Form I-130, meeting the financial requirements of the Affidavit of Support (I-864), and overcoming admissibility hurdles. Whether you are petitioning for a spouse, child, parent, or sibling, our goal is to navigate the bureaucratic complexities so you can focus on building a future together
