The US immigration laws permit U.S. Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents to sponsor certain family members. US citizens may be able to sponsor their spouse, unmarried sons and daughters, married sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters for an immigrant visa. A permanent resident, on the other hand, may only be able to sponsor their spouses and children, and unmarried sons and daughters.
Fiancé(e) Visas
This visa also called a K visa allows foreign nationals to obtain a visa for the purpose of entering the U.S. In order to obtain a K-1 fiancé(e) visa, the foreign national and the US citizen fiancé(e) must intend to marry each other within 90 days of entering the U.S. and the foreign national must meet all eligibility requirements.
Adjustment of Status
Applicants may apply for their immigrant visa (“Green Card”) from within the U.S., through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Applicants who qualify for an Adjustment of status do not need to leave the United State in other to apply for their Green Card. The eligibility requirements for adjustment of status may vary depending on the immigrant category.
Consular Processing
This process is similar to the adjustment of status except the applicant must apply for their immigrant visa in their home country. In other words, if the applicant already lives in the US, he/she must leave the US and return to his/her home country in order to obtain a visa to reenter the US.
B-2 Visitor Entry Visas
The US immigration law requires that individuals who enter the U.S. for a limited time to visit must hold a B-2 visitor visa. Visitor visas are nonimmigrant visas and allow a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port of entry and request permission of the U.S. immigration inspector to enter the US. Applicants for visitor visas should generally apply at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where they live.
U.S. Naturalization Applications
Individuals holding lawful permanent residence may apply to become a Naturalized U.S. Citizen after a period of three or five years, provided they meet all other eligibility requirements. To qualify for U.S. citizenship, a permanent resident must be at least 18 years old and demonstrate that are able to communicate in the English language and have knowledge of U.S. civics.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival Applications
Some foreign nationals who arrived in the U.S. as children and do not have a lawful status may be eligible for Deferred Action. DACA is valid for two years and may be renewed. To qualify for DACA, individuals must have entered the U.S. before the age of 16, meet all other eligibility requirements.
Employment Authorization Document Applications
Certain individuals who are in the U.S. in nonimmigrant status may apply for an Employment Authorization Document. This document is issued by USCIS and to allow these individuals to work in the U.S.
F-1 and J-1 Student and Exchange visitor Applications

An applicant may obtain an F-Visa or J-visa, provided they are accepted by an authorized school; they have sufficient funds to cover costs for at least 12 months of education; they Intent to return home at end of studies. F-1 and J-1 students are only admitted for the duration of their status.
Waiver and Admissibility Issues

A Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility is available to these individuals provided they meet the eligibility requirements.

I had a consultation with Fafa and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I came prepared with a list of questions, but she addressed every single one as she explained the process—even before I had a chance to ask. She was very helpful, and I will definitely be booking her services.

Top immigration lawyer! Mrs. Assignon is a very professional, understanding, patient and comprehensive lawyer. From the very beginning, she was friendly and confident about her work and what we needed to do in our situation. If we had any questions at all, she was available to clear them up in a timely manner. Additionally, she walked us step by step through our interview with officials as we met before that crucial day. We highly recommend contacting her as a lawyer if you have any immigration needs. She has the experiences and expertise herself to back it up.
