When your family’s future depends on immigration approval, every decision matters. Family-based immigration in California can be an emotional, complex journey filled with paperwork, interviews, and legal requirements. At Perliss Law Firm, we bring clarity and compassion to your case, helping you navigate the path toward reunification with confidence.
With over 30 years of experience serving San Gabriel and surrounding communities, our law firm offers a distinct advantage: the insight of both criminal and immigration legal backgrounds. Whether you're petitioning for a spouse, parent, child, or fiancé(e), we are here to guide you through every stage of the process.
Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain family members for green cards. These relationships typically fall into two categories:
Includes spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens.
Includes siblings of U.S. citizens, adult children, and spouses or children of green card holders.
The process includes petitioning through USCIS, submitting the necessary supporting documentation, completing a visa interview, and meeting financial sponsorship requirements. An experienced attorney can ensure every form is correctly filed and every deadline met.
At Perliss Law Firm, we handle the details so you can focus on providing a future for your family. We lead with experience, compassion, and diverse legal expertise. That makes us the preferred family-based immigration attorneys in California.
