Experienced Immigration Attorney

Steven C. Thal, P.A. can advise and assist you in all types of family visa matters, including:

  • K-1 fiancé visas — for fiancés of U.S. citizens
  • K-3 fiancé visas — for fiancées already married to U.S. citizens
  • 1st preference visas — for unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, and their children
  • 2nd preference (2)(a) visas — for spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents
  • 2nd preference (2)(b) visas — for unmarried sons and daughters over 21 of lawful permanent residents
  • 3rd preference visas — for married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, their spouses, and children.
  • 4th preference visas — for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, and their spouses and children, provided the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years of age

U.S. citizens bringing in their spouses, minor unmarried children, and parents, qualify as "immediate relatives" and always have visas immediately available to them. However, there is never a guarantee of being admissible for a green card and they must still meet other stringent requirements. There are immigration quotas for the relatives of permanent residents or more distant relatives of U.S. citizens — and these persons face long and unpredictable wait times.
