Family Petitions
Reuniting your family is possible with the right petition. We help El Paso residents and citizens bring spouses, children, parents, and siblings through the family-based process, whether inside the U.S. or from abroad.
What's Included
Form I-130 petitions
We file the petition for alien relative for spouses, children, parents, and siblings of citizens and permanent residents.
Adjustment of status (I-485)
For relatives already in the U.S., we prepare the green card application with USCIS.
Consular processing
When the relative is outside the U.S., we guide you through processing at the Ciudad Juárez consulate or another appropriate consulate.
Unlawful presence waivers
We combine your family case with an I-601A waiver when the relative accrued unlawful presence in the U.S.
VAWA petitions
We represent survivors of domestic violence who can self-petition for a green card without relying on their abuser.
