Hiring A Green Card Lawyer For Family-Based Sponsorship
Family-based sponsorship is a legal and easy way to obtain a green card in the United States. Many people dream of getting a green card, and that’s possible through a green card lawyer. Through your attorney, you can get assistance and guidance during the whole process.
It’s true that obtaining a green card is challenging. You need to adhere to different immigration laws and procedures surrounding family-based immigration. But you can skip most of the hassle by hiring an attorney for a green card for support.
Understanding Family-Based Sponsorship
You need to know that obtaining a green card through family-based sponsorship starts with learning more about the process. Like any other family-based immigration, obtaining a green card in Texas is similar to the rest of the United States.
Family-based immigration allows green card holders to sponsor their family members to the United States. It includes all U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. There are two types of family-based immigration categories: immediate relatives and family preference.
Immediate relatives are the parents, spouses, and unmarried children under 21 years old of U.S. citizens.
The process for this category is faster since they are not subjected to numerical limitations. Meanwhile, the family preference category includes unmarried children over 21 years old, married children, and siblings of U.S. citizens. Unlike immediate relatives, family preference has numerical limitations or limited visas available every year. This can lead to longer waiting times.
Like any other family immigration process, sponsorship in Texas is dependent on federal immigration laws, regulations, and procedures. That means they also have the same eligibility requirements and include the following.
The sponsored individual must have a relationship with the U.S. citizen or green card holder.
The sponsor must be a lawful permanent resident or a U.S. citizen.
The sponsor must meet the income requirements or submit an affidavit of support to show their ability to financially support the sponsored individual.
There are few more specific requirements when it comes to age and marital status, especially in other categories like unmarried children or spouses.

After deciding on your immigration pathway, there comes the preparation and submission of forms and documents. This is one of the key services of immigration law firms as well. They assist in the preparation and submission of forms and documents and help you gather other supporting documents. It includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, and financial records.

Entrusting this to a law firm can make all the difference.
