Keeping Families United Through Immigration Solutions

At Sebastian Simon Law Group, our mission is to keep families together and help them realize their dreams of immigrating to the United States. We believe that families should never be separated. Many barriers, however, prevent families from uniting, including unforeseen conditions and misunderstandings of the law.
How Our Houston Family Immigration Lawyers Can Assist You
When looking for legal counsel, you can feel confident relying on our family-based immigration lawyers through this process, as they have both gone through the immigration process and know precisely the challenges ahead. Whether you are in need of a visa, are applying for a green card to obtain lawful permanent resident status, or are working on the path toward U.S. citizenship, do not hesitate to contact our Houston immigration attorneys at Sebastian Simon Law Group, PLLC.
Which Family Members Are Eligible for Petition?
Our family immigration lawyers can provide you with answers to help you resolve even the most complicated legal situations. Families become separated by distance, time, and a whole host of other legal obstacles, and we want to provide a remedy to help keep your family together. Are you or a loved one applying for a visa or a green card? The process begins when that family member petitions another family member to become a permanent resident.
U.S. citizens may petition the following family members:
- A spouse
- Any children under the age of 21
- Parents, if you are at least 21
- Any unmarried children 21 and over, as well as their children
- Married children, any age, and their children
- Your sibling and their children, if you are 21 or over
Another option would be to sponsor that family member for a visa. You should note, however, that visa applications can take a while to process. Even the outcome of accurate, flawless applications can experience delays. Furthermore, there is a limit on the number of family preference immigrant visas every fiscal year.
How Do I Begin the Petition Process?
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services must approve an immigrant visa called an I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. The family relationship between the intended immigrant and his or her sponsor must be recognized by U.S. immigration law.
Any United States sponsors that are petitioning for their siblings or parents to join them in the U.S. must be at least be 21 years of age. For all other requests regarding other family members, there is no minimum age that the sponsor must be, however, in order to sign the Affidavit of Support, Form I-864 or I-864-EZ is required for a relative or spouse to come to the U.S., the individual must be 18 years old.

“We brought a very challenging case to this firm, one that other attorneys had passed on, telling us our chances of success were slim. Sebastian Simon was upfront and honest about the difficulties we faced and clearly laid out his strategy to win. Thanks to his expertise, we recently won in court and were granted a change in status. We are eternally grateful to Sebastian and his team, especially Alde Duran, one of his legal assistants. Alde was not only informative and responsive to all of our communications but also incredibly organized and attentive to every detail, which made the entire process smoother for us. Muchas gracias, Alde!!”- G.M.
