Families seeking to reunite or remain together in the United States have several immigration options. The most common are family-based visas, which allow U.S. citizens to petition for their spouses, children, parents, or siblings, and lawful permanent residents to petition for their spouses and unmarried children. While visas for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are typically processed faster, other family categories may face longer waiting times due to annual limits.

 

In addition to family petitions, some families may also qualify through employment visas, humanitarian protection, or some special programs available. Each pathway has its own requirements and timelines, which can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with the guidance of attorney Jorge Rivera and the T8 Immigration team, families can rest assured to understand their options and take the right steps toward building a secure future together in the U.S.
