Family-Based Immigration and Green Cards
Many people believe that immigration is easy and quick if you are the family member of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. This is one of the biggest mistakes made by foreign citizens who want to get a family-based immigration visa through an immediate relative. The process has many complicated stages, including:
- Countless pages of paperwork
- Collecting evidence of the family relationship, including birth certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees and marriage certificates
- Medical examination and a police record check
- A rigorous interview with a U.S. immigration official
The process isn't quick, either. With many family-based immigration visas, there can be a wait of more than a year. An experienced immigration lawyer can help with the application, go with you to any interviews, and may be able to speed up the immigration process.
If you are found to have committed marriage fraud, you may be refused admission to the United States, deported, or have other adverse consequences to your immigration and residency status. Contact a lawyer at Wolov & Felixon, P.C. for assistance in this area.

At Wolov & Felixon P.C., we understand the strain placed on families when they are separated by international borders. For 15 years, we have helped bring families together to live in the United States by using family-based immigration. We can file applications for a flat fee or negotiate a payment agreement to represent you or your family member through the entire process. We have represented immigrants from more than 100 countries around the world, and we share our clients' joy when families are finally reunited.
Because we focus exclusively on immigration law, we are particularly qualified to solve difficult family immigration problems. Our experienced immigration lawyer personally interviews each client and will advise you when a different kind of visa - perhaps a work visa - might be easier to get or if you qualify for entry under a political asylum law or as a refugee. In some cases, you can come to the United States on a non-immigrant visa (visitor's visa) while you wait for your permanent resident card to be processed. Even if you believe you don't qualify for a family immigration visa, Wolov & Felixon P.C. may be able to help you find a solution you hadn't thought of.
