Family-Based Immigration Services We Offer

Family is at the heart of the immigration system, and at Ibrahim Law Global, it’s at the heart of what we do. U.S. immigration law allows citizens and lawful permanent residents to petition for certain family members to join them and build a life together in the United States. But while the goal is simple—keeping families together—the process is often anything but.

Family-based immigration involves navigating a complex set of rules, eligibility categories, and timelines. Whether you’re sponsoring a spouse, child, parent, or sibling, each case requires detailed paperwork, careful preparation, and a clear legal strategy. Mistakes or delays can cause real setbacks (or even lead to denials) so it’s important to work with a team that knows the system inside and out.

At Ibrahim Law Global, we’re committed to guiding families through the immigration process with compassion and clarity. We understand how much is at stake, and we treat every petition like it’s for our own family. Whether you’re filing from inside the U.S. or abroad, starting fresh, or facing complications, we help you understand your options and take confident steps toward reunification.

Some of the family-based immigration services we offer include:

  • Spousal Petition (Form I-130)
    Bringing your spouse to the U.S. or adjusting their status starts with the I-130 petition. We help couples file strong, complete applications and ensure they’re prepared for interviews. Whether your spouse is in the U.S. or abroad, we guide you through each phase of the process to avoid delays and build a clear path to a Green Card.
  • Adjustment of Status
    If your family member is already in the U.S., they may be eligible to apply for a Green Card through Adjustment of Status. We assist with the paperwork, help gather supporting documents, and prepare you for interviews. For family abroad, we handle Consular Processing, guiding your loved one through the visa interview at a U.S. consulate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the family-based immigration process take?

Timelines vary depending on the relationship, country of origin, and whether the person is in the U.S. or abroad. Some cases may take months; others may take a few years. We help you understand what to expect in your unique case.

What’s the difference between Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing?

Adjustment of Status is for applicants already in the U.S.; Consular Processing is for those applying from outside the country. We can help determine which path applies to your situation.

Can I sponsor a family member if I have a Green Card but not citizenship?

Yes. Green Card holders can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children. U.S. citizens can sponsor a broader list of relatives, including parents and married children.

Do I need to attend an interview?

Most family-based Green Card applications require interviews. We help you prepare so you know what to expect and how to present your case clearly and honestly.

What if my I-130 was denied?

You may be able to appeal or reapply with stronger documentation. We can review your case and help you understand the best next step.

Can I still apply if my family member is undocumented?

Possibly. Eligibility depends on several factors, including how and when the person entered the U.S. Let’s talk about your specific situation and options.

Do I need a lawyer to file a spousal petition?

It’s not required, but immigration law is complex. Working with a lawyer helps you avoid mistakes, delays, or denials that could cost you time and money.

What documents are needed for a family-based immigration case?

You’ll typically need identity documents, proof of the relationship (like a marriage certificate), financial information, and immigration history. We’ll give you a full checklist.
