Family-Based Visa Immigration Lawyer
Member of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)
The United States allows citizens and legal permanent residents to sponsor family members for immigrant visas or so-called "green cards."
Although the process may seem straightforward, there are pitfalls and roadblocks in family-based immigration. The best way to avoid them is by seeking help from an experienced family-based visa immigration attorney.
Please contact my Cleveland law office, Philip Eichorn Co., LPA, today to learn what I can do to help you and your family.

If you are a U.S. citizen you may petition for:
- Your spouse
- Your child under 21 years old
- Your parent, if you are at least 21
- Your unmarried child over 21 and his/her children
- Your married child of any age and his/her children
- Your brother or sister and his/her spouse and children, if you are at least 21
If you have legal permanent residency, you may petition for:
- Your spouse
- Your child under 21
- Your unmarried child over 21
Family relationships are prioritized. The higher up on the list, the higher priority they are given. It is also important to know that petitions made by U.S. citizens are given higher priority than those made by permanent residents.
Fiancé(e) Visas
Temporary fiancé(e) visas are available to foreign nationals planning to marry U.S. citizens. They must apply for the visa and get permission to travel to the U.S. to marry. Once married, they must submit an application for permanent residency that is separate from their initial fiancé(e) visas application.
If you have questions or concerns about family-based visa matters including waiting periods, work authorization, adjustment of status, returning residents, waivers or counselor processing, please call or e-mail Philip Eichorn Co., LPA today.
I have experience working with people from all corners of the globe including Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Europe, Mexico, Canada and the Middle East.
