How Can I Bring My Family Members To The United States?
If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to help certain family members immigrate to the United States through the family-based immigration process. Depending on your immigration status and your relationship to your relative, your loved one may be eligible to apply for a visa and, eventually, lawful permanent residence.
The process of petitioning for a family member can involve detailed forms, supporting documentation, government filing requirements, and strict eligibility rules. Missing information or filing errors can lead to delays or other complications. For many families, the process can feel overwhelming, especially when they are trying to reunite with loved ones as quickly as possible.

Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?
Family-based immigration law allows certain relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to seek immigration status in the United States, but eligibility depends on both the family relationship and the petitioner’s status. In general, some relatives of U.S. citizens may qualify more directly, while other family members fall into visa categories that can involve longer wait times and additional requirements.
For example, the immigration process may differ depending on whether the person seeking to petition for a relative is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Eligibility can vary for spouses, children, parents, siblings, and certain fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens. Some categories may be subject to annual visa limits, while others may have different rules and processing timelines.
Because these cases often involve detailed forms, supporting records, and careful attention to eligibility requirements, it is important to approach the process thoroughly and accurately. Dina Sokhn helps individuals and families in California understand which family-based immigration options may apply to their situation and assists with preparing petitions and supporting documentation. Whether you are seeking to bring a spouse, child, parent, sibling, or fiancé(e) to the United States, Dina Sokhn can provide clear, personal guidance through each stage of the process.
How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?
In family-based immigration matters, some relatives may be eligible to move forward more quickly, while others may face longer wait times because certain visa categories are subject to annual limits. For family members in categories with limited visa availability, the timing of the filing can be very important, since processing often depends in part on the date the petition is submitted. In some cases, waits can be lengthy, especially when there is high demand in a particular visa category or country.
Because these timelines and requirements can be difficult to navigate, it is important to begin the process as early as possible and make sure the petition is prepared carefully. Dina Sokhn helps individuals and families in California start the family-based immigration process, understand the steps involved, and prepare the documentation needed to support their petitions.
