Family Based Visa Petitions
United States Citizens can petition for a spouse, children (including stepchildren under the age of 18), parents, brothers and sisters. A Lawful Permanent Resident can petition for a spouse and unmarried children.
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)(available to women and men) VAWA protects the victim(s) of abuse by allowing abused/battered persons and/or their children to self-petition for permanent residence without the danger of relying on the abuser's participation in the process.
A $25.00 consultation fee (cash or money order only) is charged per consultation. This fee includes a review for client eligibility and a discussion of "next steps" for the processing of the case. In most cases every person is required to come in for an initial consultation before a case is opened.
Department legal fees to proceed with a case will vary according to a written fee schedule depending on the type of service needed.
Please Note: USCIS (government) fees are separate from legal fees; USCIS fee waivers are available for many processes upon individual qualification.
