Key Family Visa Types

Among the most common types of family immigration visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency (USCIS) are the following:

• K-1 fiancée visas, which allows a foreign national planning to marry a U.S. citizen to travel to the United States and reside legally until the wedding. Individuals with this visa may apply for a green card after the wedding.
• K-2 visas, which are for the children of an individual receiving a K-1 visa.
• K-3 spouse visas, which allow an alien who is currently married to a U.S. citizen to come to live in the United States while their I-130 petition is being processed.
• Family-based green cards, which provide permanent residency to aliens who are sponsored by a family member who is already a Lawful Permanent Resident or U.S. citizen.
• I-751 Removal of Conditions Petitions, which certain individuals must file after obtaining a conditional green card based on marriage to a U.S. citizen to remove their conditions after a period of time.

We are able to facilitate the applications of a wide array of other family visa types, so contact our immigration lawyers for additional details.
