Chicago, IL Family Sponsored

Family-sponsored immigration is one of the most common routes to ultimately obtaining U.S. citizenship. For assistance in sponsoring a family member, preparing for an adjustment of status interview, or preparing for a visa interview at the U.S. Consulate overseas, the immigration law attorneys at Marshall H. Hong, Attorney at Law can help.

Areas of Practice Include:

• Visas for Children: Age and Marital Status- A child's age and marital status may affect his or her eligibility to immigrate to the United States. The age of a child at the time of adoption or when a step-relationship is created also affects eligibility. The immigration law attorneys at our law office can assist in determining whether or not your children meet the eligibility requirements.
• Alien Relative Petitions, Immigrant Visas, and Adjustment of Status- Assuming one of the qualifying relationships exists between the U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident petitioner and the intending immigrant family member, our firm can assist in the preparation and filing of the required USCIS Petitions and Applications. We also assist in the preparation for immigrant visa interviews (at a U.S. Consulate overseas) and adjustment of status interviews (at a local USCIS office).
• Assistance to Individuals Living Abroad- We can assist in the preparation of documents to present at visa interviews at U.S. Consulates overseas. Our immigration law attorneys are available to travel abroad to assist in dealing with the U.S. Consulate in the individual's home country. We work with clients around the world through e-mail and over
  the phone.
• Other Grounds for Family-Based Immigration- Many other factors may affect family-based immigration. For example, battered spouses and children of U.S. citizens may be eligible to self-petition for immigration benefits.  Alternatively the Diversity Visa Lottery offers opportunities to immigrate to the United States without a family or employer sponsor.

Immigration Petitions
Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States can petition for certain family members to immigrate permanently to the U.S.  Qualifying relationships include:

• Parents
• Spouses
• Brothers & sisters
• Married & unmarried sons and daughters over the age of 21
• Children (including adopted children and stepchildren) who are under the age of 21 and unmarried
