Family-Based Immigration

We help reunite families by filing immigrant visa petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings. We also assist with waivers of inadmissibility when necessary and provide guidance based on each family’s unique situation and timelines.

Our Family-Based Immigration Services

At Nola Diaspora Immigration Law, we are committed to reuniting and keeping families together through thoughtful, strategic legal representation. Whether you’re petitioning for a spouse, parent, child, or sibling, our team provides compassionate guidance through every step of the family-based immigration process.

We assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in filing Form I-130, ensuring that petitions for eligible family members are accurate, complete, and properly supported with required documentation.
Whether your relative is in the U.S. or abroad, we help navigate the path to permanent residency—guiding you through adjustment of status or consular processing to ensure a smooth transition to lawful permanent residency (green card).
We support engaged couples in obtaining K-1 fiancé(e) visas, helping them meet eligibility requirements and prepare for the visa interview, followed by adjustment of status after marriage.
For spouses who obtain conditional green cards, we provide assistance with filing Form I-751 to remove conditions and secure permanent residency—whether jointly or with a waiver.
If your family member faces legal barriers to entry or residency, we evaluate the case and pursue waivers such as I-601 or I-212 to overcome grounds of inadmissibility.
We help families facing deportation, long separation periods, or immigration delays explore legal options and advocate for solutions that keep families together.
We provide representation in special circumstances, including petitions under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), for abused spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or residents seeking immigration protection independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do if I’m Arrested?
If you’re arrested, remain calm and avoid making any statements to the police without your attorney present. Contact a lawyer immediately to protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.
How Long Will My Case Take to Resolve?
The duration of your case depends on its complexity. It can take several months to over a year. Your lawyer will provide a more specific timeline based on the details of your case.
What Is the Difference Between Family-Based Petitions and Adjustment of Status?
Family-based petitions are the first step in helping a family member obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States. This process involves a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident filing a petition to establish the qualifying family relationship. Adjustment of status, on the other hand, is the process by which an eligible person already in the U.S. can apply for a green card without having to return to their home country for consular processing.
How Can I Protect My Rights During an Investigation?
Stay silent and avoid answering questions without your lawyer present. Request an attorney immediately to ensure your rights are protected throughout the investigation process.
How Do I Know if I Need an Immigration Attorney?
If you are at risk of being deported or believe you may qualify for asylum, it's important to speak with an immigration attorney. The laws are complex, and an attorney can help you understand your options, build a strong case, and represent you in immigration court.
