Family-Based Immigration Services at ABP Law
Family unity is at the heart of U.S. immigration law. At ABP LAW, we are committed to helping families stay together and build their futures in the United States. We handle all types of family-based immigration petitions and provide clear, strategic legal guidance at every step of the process.
Our experienced attorneys assist with a wide range of family-based immigration petitions, including:
- Spouse Visas (CR-1/IR-1)
- Fiancé(e) Visas (K-1)
- Visas for Children (IR-2, F-2A/F-2B)
- Visas for Parents (IR-5)
- Visas for Siblings (F-4)
Many of these categories offer a pathway to lawful permanent residency (Green Card) and, ultimately, U.S. citizenship. Navigating these petitions can be complex and emotionally challenging, but our firm is dedicated to making the process as smooth and understandable as possible.
Personalized Service
At ABP LAW, every family-based immigration case is assigned a dedicated case manager who works closely with your attorney and remains in regular contact with the petitioner and beneficiary throughout the process. Our case managers help collect supporting documents, ensure proper filing, and provide regular updates so you’re never left in the dark.
Support for All Families, Including
ABP LAW proudly serves LGBTQ+ and same-sex couples and families, regardless of the legal status of same-sex marriage in your home country or U.S. state. Immigration law recognizes same-sex marriages equally, and we are honored to help LGBTQ+ couples navigate their path to permanent residency and citizenship. We are strong advocates for immigrant rights and are committed to supporting clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
Adjustment of Status vs. Consular Processing
Whether your loved one is already in the United States or living abroad, there are two primary methods for obtaining a Green Card:
- Adjustment of Status: Allows eligible applicants in the U.S. to apply for permanent residency without leaving the country.
- Consular Processing: For applicants living outside the U.S., involving an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.
We will evaluate your family’s unique situation to determine the most appropriate and efficient route to lawful permanent residency. Our attorneys are well-versed in both processes and will ensure that your case is handled thoroughly and professionally.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
If you or your loved one are concerned about potential barriers to a Green Card—such as prior unlawful presence, certain criminal convictions, or prior immigration violations—you may be eligible for a waiver of inadmissibility or a provisional waiver (Form I-601 or I-601A). Our legal team includes attorneys who focus exclusively on immigration waivers. We have successfully helped hundreds of families in Tennessee and beyond overcome legal obstacles and remain together while applying for lawful status. We will assess your case, explain your options clearly, and advocate forcefully on your behalf.
