The marriage visa under the Family-Based category allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring their spouses to live permanently in the United States. There are two main subcategories within this visa category: marriages under two years and marriages over two years.
For the spouse to be eligible for a marriage visa, the following criteria must be met:
The visa petition must be filed by a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
The petitioner must demonstrate financial ability to support the spouse and prevent them from becoming dependent on public assistance. This is typically done by submitting Form I-864, Affidavit of Support.
It is necessary to provide evidence of a genuine and legitimate relationship with the spouse, such as a marriage certificate, photos, correspondence, and other documents proving a bona fide and ongoing marriage.
We are a law firm specialized in immigration law, led by attorney Dr. Otávio Haverroth Silva, who is licensed by both the California Bar Association and the Brazilian Bar Association. Additionally, we are a member of AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association), ensuring that our immigration practices are always aligned with the latest U.S. policies and regulations.
Excellent service. We found the firm through a recommendation. We had a video call meeting where Dr. Karine patiently explained to us the possible immigration options for the U.S. and attentively clarified all our questions. Very satisfied. I recommend it.
We had a consultation with Dr. Otávio, and he was extremely professional and insightful. He answered all our questions and presented us with the most appropriate action plans. After this consultation, we decided to hire HS Law Corp services with the confidence that we are working with a responsible team that will do everything possible for the success of our case.
Excellent service! Dr. Otávio answered all my questions with great patience and dedication, which is essential when choosing a lawyer. I started my process with them and I recommend them to all my friends seeking a trustworthy, intelligent, and assertive attorney.
HS Law Corp is a very honest and serious firm, and Dr. Otávio is an excellent professional who is also very compassionate. Congratulations on your outstanding work.
