Caring and Dedicated Legal Assistance for Spouse, Parent, Child, and Sibling Visa

Reuniting with your parents in the U.S. is a meaningful step. We guide U.S. citizens through the IR-5 visa process, helping them sponsor their parents for lawful permanent residency. Our team ensures every detail is handled carefully to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Who qualifies:

• Biological, adoptive, or step-parents of U.S. citizens (not permanent residents)

• Petitioner must be at least 21 years old

Visa type:

• IR-5: Parent of a U.S. citizen

Process Overview:

• Filed via Form I-130 by the U.S. citizen child

• No annual visa cap for IR-5, which allows for a relatively faster process

• Parents must apply through consular processing if outside the U.S.

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for their spouses to immigrate to the U.S. The best visa option depends on your status and your goals. Whether you're applying from abroad or adjusting status within the U.S., we help you choose the right path and manage everything from petition prep to interview support.

Who qualifies:
