The
"Immediate Relative" is an immigrant petition which
allows some foreign nationals to apply for legal permanent residence
in the United States on the basis of their familial relationship
to a United States citizen. The primary befits of this type of
application is that (1) Immediate relatives receive preferential
treatment and are not subject to numerical quotas imposed on family
preference categories; and (2) If the relative entered with a
proper visa, he or she will be able to change status in the United
States even if they overstayed their visa or worked without permission.
Who is eligible? Spouse of a
U.S. citizen; parent or step-parent of a US citizen; child or
stepchild under the age of 21 of a U.S. citizen and spouse of
a deceased U.S. citizen. Note: A step-parent
or child will qualify for immigration only if the marriage creating
the step parent/child relationship occurs before the child's eighteenth
birthday.
What Our Office Can Do For You: We can
explain clearly to you what to expect, how long it will take and
what we have to prepare to succeed in the case in the fastest
time. Our staff will go over every question in the applications
with you, prepare the documentation, collect and review the supporting
documents, file the case under the name of APSAN LAW OFFICES,
prepare you prior to the interview and have a lawyer with you
at the adjustment interview. If you are living in a state that
is far from our offices, in New York and New Jersey, we will do
the same, except will offer to either (1) go to the interview
without a lawyer (and save over 70% in our fees) or (2) we will
hire a layer near your home to go to the interview with you.
