Frequently Asked Questions
How can I legally live in the US with my family?
To reside legally, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident must file a petition on behalf of their relatives or spouse. The process requires proof of family ties and financial support to ensure the stability of all parties.
How do I apply for a Family-Based visa for the United States from Brazil?
The process is conducted through Consular Processing. After the initial petition is approved in the United States, the case is forwarded to the NVC and concludes with an in-person interview at the U.S. Consulate in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
What are the steps in the Family-Based visa process?
The steps in a consular processing case include filing the I-130 petition, submitting bona fide marriage documents, processing at the NVC with submission of civil and financial documents, medical examinations, and the final interview for the issuance of the immigrant visa in Brazil.
Which relatives are eligible for a Green Card?
U.S. citizens may petition for spouses, children (unmarried or married), parents, and siblings. Permanent residents, however, may only petition for spouses and unmarried children. The waiting time to obtain the Green Card varies according to the family relationship.
How long does the family reunification visa take?
The timeframe depends on the category. Immediate relatives of citizens receive priority processing (one to two years). Family preference categories, however, may face waiting periods of several years in the Visa Bulletin.
How can a wife apply for a Green Card?
The husband (citizen or permanent resident) must file the petition through Form I-130. If she is in Brazil, the process is consular; if she is legally in the United States, she may apply for Adjustment of Status concurrently.
Can a Green Card holder sponsor their parents?
Not directly. Only U.S. citizens aged 21 or older may petition for their parents. Green Card holders must first naturalize before applying for their parents' residence.
Who is eligible to apply for a U.S. family visa?
U.S. citizens or Green Card holders aged 21 or older may serve as petitioners. They must demonstrate sufficient income to sponsor their family members and maintain family unity.
How much does an immigration attorney charge for a Family-Based visa?
The investment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the number of family members. It is worth noting that the specialized legal services of an immigration law firm ensure the correct preparation of the documentation required for the process, avoiding errors and delays that can be detrimental.
