Why families use a lawyer
Family petitions look simple, but small things — a name spelled two ways, a missing document, the wrong category — can add months or get a case denied. A lawyer files it clean, tracks it, and answers the government quickly if they ask for more evidence. If you already filed and got an RFE or a denial, a lawyer can often save the case.
Common questions
How long does an I-130 take?
In 2026, I-130 petitions for close family often take a year or more. A lawyer helps you file it right the first time.
What is a K-1 fiancé visa?
A K-1 visa lets your fiancé come to the U.S. to marry you within 90 days, then apply for a green card. Most cases take around a year.
Can I petition for my parents or siblings?
U.S. citizens can. Parents are usually fast; siblings can take years. A lawyer can tell you the real timeline for your family.
