Family-Based Immigration
Seattle Area Lawyer: Family-Based Immigration
Immigration law allows for people in the United States to apply for an immigrant visa for another family member so he or she can enter the country. However, with a stressful and time-consuming process, you want experienced legal counsel with an understanding of your concerns to guide you through the process. At the Law Offices of Susan Amini, in Bellevue, our attorney has focused on immigration and family law since 1994.

The family relationship, the country of origin, and the size of the backlog for immigration visas are all factors that influence waiting times for an immigrant visa for a family member. Working with United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), we will obtain an estimate of how your case will proceed, so you know what to expect from the family-based immigration process.
We will help you complete the paperwork to prove that you can financially sponsor the relative for whom you are seeking permanent residence, whether it is a husband, wide, child, or sibling. Afterwards, we will follow up to make sure your family petition is moving along.
Fiancée Visas
If you are a foreign national engaged to marry a U.S. citizen, you are eligible to petition for a fiancée visa. We will work with you to make sure your wedding plans do not jeopardize your pending visa petition. For example, if you overstay your visa, you cannot leave the U.S. to get married or you will be banned from returning for three years. Our law firm takes care of the family-based immigration details so that your can marriage take place as planned.
VAWA petitions
Spouses and children of U.S. citizens or green card holders may petition to obtain their own green cards in circumstances detailed in the Violence Against Women Act, passed in 1994. The law provides special status for battered women to file by themselves, rather than as a family member, so that they can achieve independence from an abuser.
