Petitioning for a Family Member to Obtain a Green Card or Permanent Residence in the U.S.
Whether you are a U.S. Citizen married to a foreign national or the child or parent of a U.S. Citizen, we can help you or your loved ones obtain legal status in the United States.
As a U.S. Citizen or a Permanent Resident (green card holder), you may be eligible to petition for a family member to obtain a green card, or permanent residence in the United States. Petitioning for a family member to obtain a Green Card or permanent residence in the U.S. is a deeply significant process that allows families to reunite and build a life together in this country. It involves a series of legal steps to establish the familial relationship and demonstrate eligibility for sponsorship.
The process begins by filing the appropriate forms with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This petition serves as the foundation for the family member's application for a Green Card, which, once approved, grants them the right to live and work in the U.S. permanently. Navigating this journey requires careful attention to detail, understanding of immigration laws, and adherence to specific eligibility criteria.
Consulting with experienced immigration professionals, like those here at IX Legal, is crucial to ensuring a successful and smooth process. Our team provides expert guidance throughout the entire petitioning process, ensuring all requirements are met, and supporting families in their pursuit of a brighter future together in the United States.

— Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
Yes. Corporate immigration (H-1B, L-1, O-1, PERM, EB-1/2/3) and family immigration (marriage-based green cards, K-1 fiancé visas, consular processing, removal defense) are both core practices.

Most denials can be appealed, refiled with additional evidence, or reopened by motion. We review the denial notice, identify the specific ground, and recommend the path with the best odds.
Timelines vary by matter and by the other side's cooperation. On the first call we will give you a realistic window based on matters like yours, and we update you at every meaningful milestone rather than waiting for you to ask.
