At the Law Office of Alexander R. Vail, we understand how critical family unity is, and we are committed to helping families navigate the complex process of family-based immigration. Whether you’re looking to bring your spouse, children, or other family members to the United States, our firm offers strategic and personalized legal counsel that will guide you every step of the way. We work diligently to help you navigate the legal requirements, paperwork, and potential challenges, so you can focus on building your future together.


Our comprehensive family-based immigration services are designed to provide the best possible outcome for your unique situation. We assist with the full range of family immigration matters, including securing lawful permanent residency, overcoming inadmissibility hurdles, and avoiding the risk of separation due to complex legal challenges. We have a proven track record of success, helping clients from a variety of backgrounds and situations achieve their goals of family reunification.


Our Family-Based Immigration Services Include:


  • Adjustment of Status: If you're in the U.S. and seeking to adjust your status to that of a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), we’ll help you navigate the process, ensuring that you meet all necessary eligibility requirements. Whether you've overstayed your visa or face other challenges, we will tailor the process to your circumstances, as seen in cases like Matter of S.H., where a client obtained lawful permanent residency despite overstaying their visa.


  • Family Visa Petitions: We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in sponsoring their relatives for permanent residency. From spouses to children and other immediate relatives, we ensure the entire petition process, including Form I-130 and beyond, is completed efficiently. In cases such as Matter of N.V., G.C., & M.C., we helped a mother and her children adjust their status even after overstaying their visas.


  • Parole-in-Place & Waivers: For individuals who entered the U.S. without inspection or were brought here unlawfully, parole-in-place may be an option for those with military connections, allowing for adjustment of status without having to leave the country. We helped clients like Matter of Y.R.M. achieve parole-in-place, enabling them to adjust their status without risking deportation.


  • Consular Processing & Visa Application: If you need to apply for a visa or adjustment of status from abroad, our firm is here to guide you through consular processing. We work with families across the world, ensuring a smooth transition into the U.S. for permanent residence. We have a strong history of success, including cases like Matter of P.A.F., where a client successfully adjusted their status after marriage, despite prior immigration challenges.

The Importance of Having an Immigration Attorney

Navigating the complexities of family-based immigration requires not only legal knowledge but also compassion for the emotional strain it can cause. Legal representation ensures that your application process is as smooth and stress-free as possible, avoiding common pitfalls and costly mistakes that could delay or jeopardize your application.

Why is Legal Representation Crucial?

  • Legal Expertise: Family-based immigration laws can be intricate, especially with specific requirements for spouses, children, and other immediate relatives. An experienced immigration attorney understands how to navigate these legal complexities, ensuring that factors like prior overstays, criminal history, or other issues are properly addressed, protecting your eligibility to bring your family together.


  • Proper Documentation: Incorrect or missing documentation is one of the most common reasons family-based immigration applications are delayed or denied. An immigration attorney ensures that all necessary documents are gathered, organized, and submitted correctly, minimizing delays. They will help you through the intricate paperwork, such as the Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) and Adjustment of Status applications, to ensure timely and accurate submission.


  • Representation at Interviews: For many family-based immigration cases, an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is required. Having an experienced attorney guide you through this process can significantly ease any anxiety. Your attorney will help you prepare for every question, ensure you are fully confident, and provide strategic guidance, just like we did in the Matter of K.J.C., so that your family can have the best chance of success.
