Questions to consider
Frequently Asked Questions
These general answers are drafts for attorney review and cannot replace advice about your circumstances.
Are family immigration processes the same for every relationship?
No. The process can vary by relationship, the individuals’ circumstances, and the route involved. A case-specific review is needed to understand what may apply.
What is the difference between consular processing and adjustment of status?
They are different processes for seeking an immigrant visa or permanent residence, with distinct procedures and considerations. Which, if either, may be available depends on individual facts and applicable rules.
Can I estimate how long a family petition will take?
Processing times can change and depend on many case-specific and government factors. No timeline can be reliably promised based only on a general description.
