# Family-based Visa

Family-based immigration is a cornerstone of the U.S. immigration system, allowing
United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain family 
members for legal entry and permanent residency. However, navigating the complex
application processes and shifting priority dates requires experienced legal guidance.

Based in Pasadena, Lum Law Group assists families throughout the Greater Los Angeles
area with all aspects of this critical process, from flawlessly filing initial petitions
to representing clients at USCIS interviews. We are dedicated to keeping families
together and handle a wide variety of family-based visa categories, including:

 * **Immediate Relatives:** This category includes spouses, parents, and unmarried
   children under 21 of U.S. citizens. Crucially, there are no annual numerical 
   limitations or waiting lists for visas in this category.
 * **Family Preference Categories:** These categories encompass the unmarried adult
   children, married children, and siblings of U.S. citizens, as well as the spouses
   and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents. Because these visas are
   subject to strict annual numerical limits, securing your place in line accurately
   is essential.

**Do any of the following apply to you?**

 * Are you a U.S. citizen or green card holder in Southern California looking to
   successfully sponsor a family member for immigration?
 * Have you experienced frustrating delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or complications
   in your pending family-based visa petition?
 * Do you need clear, professional legal guidance to determine the most strategic
   immigration options for your loved ones?
