Family Immigration Services

U.S. immigration law gives priority to certain family relationships. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens — spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents — are not subject to annual numerical limits and can generally proceed more quickly. Other relationships fall into preference categories (F1 through F4) with annual caps, meaning waiting periods that can range from months to many years depending on the relationship and the beneficiary’s country of birth.

Our attorneys help families understand where they stand in the system, set realistic expectations about timelines, and take every available step to keep their case moving.
