At Ozek Law Firm, we understand the importance of family and the deep desire to reunite loved ones. Our team of experienced immigration attorneys is here to guide you through the complex and often lengthy process of family-based immigration. Whether you're sponsoring a spouse, child, parent, or sibling, we offer comprehensive legal services to help your family reunite in the United States.

We specialize in navigating the family-based immigration system, assisting clients with all categories, including Immediate Relative (IR) visas and the various Family Preference (F) categories. Our expertise ensures that your family’s immigration journey is as smooth as possible.

Immediate Relative (IR) Visas

Immediate Relative visas are designed for the closest family members of U.S. citizens. These visas are not subject to annual numerical limits, which means that processing times can be faster compared to other family-based visa categories.

IR Visa Categories:

• IR-1: Spouse of a U.S. citizen
• IR-2: Unmarried child under 21 of a U.S. citizen
• IR-5: Parent of a U.S. citizen (only available to U.S. citizens who are 21 years of age or older)

Our team will assist you in filing the required petitions and navigating the necessary paperwork to ensure your loved ones can join you in the U.S. without unnecessary delays.

Family Preference (F) Visas

The Family Preference visa categories are for more distant family relationships, and these visas are subject to annual limits. As a result, waiting times can be longer, depending on the category and the applicant’s country of origin.

F Visa Categories:

• F1: Unmarried sons and daughters (21 and older) of U.S. citizens
• F2A: Spouses and children (under 21) of lawful permanent residents (green card holders)
• F2B: Unmarried children (21 and older) of lawful permanent residents
• F3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
• F4: Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (only available to U.S. citizens who are 21 years of age or older)

For family preference categories, the priority dates and waiting periods can vary. Our attorneys will help you understand the visa bulletin and track the processing of your case, ensuring that all forms are filed accurately and on time.
