Family-based immigration questions
Quick answers to the questions families ask most before filing.
How long does a marriage-based green card take?
Timelines depend on whether you file inside the U.S. (adjustment of status) or through a consulate abroad, and on the local USCIS/consulate workload. We’ll map your likely path and key milestones in your consult.
Can I file I-130 and I-485 together?
Often, yes—especially when the petitioner is a U.S. citizen and the spouse is eligible to adjust status in the U.S. Eligibility depends on entries, status history, and any inadmissibility issues.
What if my spouse overstayed a visa?
Overstay/unlawful presence can change strategy—especially if consular processing is needed. We assess risk early and plan for waivers when appropriate.
Do we need an interview?
Many family cases include interviews. We help you prepare the evidence, practice questions, and organize your documents so you’re ready.
