Family-Based Immigration
Reuniting families is at the heart of U.S. immigration law. Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring their loved ones to live permanently in the United States. These petitions are reviewed carefully by immigration authorities, so accuracy and preparation are critical at every stage.

What It Is:
Consular Processing is the procedure through which a foreign national who is outside the United States applies for an immigrant visa (commonly referred to as a “green card”) at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country after an immigrant petition (such as Form I-130) has been approved.
Who Qualifies:
Beneficiaries of approved family-based petitions who are currently outside the United States.
Applicants who must complete the National Visa Center (NVC) process and attend an interview in their home country.
How I Help:
I assist you from the very beginning, preparing and filing your Form I-130 petition with the necessary supporting evidence. Once approved, I coordinate directly with the NVC, guide you through document submissions, and help you prepare for your consular interview. Even if you are just starting to plan your case, I can guide you through every stage of the NVC and consulate process to ensure a smooth and timely approval.
