Family-Based Immigration For Missouri Families
Many individuals in the U.S. look to sponsor people from other countries to come to the U.S. Those applications are sought by U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents looking to sponsor certain family members to become permanent residents. These are statistically the most common way that people immigrate to the United States.
Our legal team here at Wehage-Zickwolf Law Firm, LLC, provides services in the varying ways to sponsor your family members to obtain legal permanent residence or “green card” status in the U.S. These applications require detailed information and in the current environment knowing exactly how to prepare the application gives the best chance of obtaining a successful result.
We provide assistance with immigration matters such as, but not limited to:
- Family-Based Lawful Permanent Residence or Green Card
- I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Permanent Residence
- Fiancé Visa Petition
- Consular Visa Processing
- Waivers of Inadmissibility (I-601, I-601A & I-212)
- I -176 Work Authorization with Family-Based Application while in the U.S.
- Optional I-131 Travel Document if applicable
- Renewals of expiring Green Cards (I-90)
Certain criminal acts (even minor traffic infractions) and other factors such as unlawful presence in the U.S. (such as working without authorization while on a student visa or not maintaining the number of hours required to be a fulltime student) may make an applicant ineligible to become a permanent resident. Some of these problems can be waived. Let us help you assess the risks and identify the most effective approach for your circumstances.
Citizenship
U.S. citizenship is a right one may achieve after reaching certain requirements which allows you the right to vote, sponsor certain family members, and remain in the United States without having to continually renew applications. This right has become increasingly stricter and more stringent to obtain over the years, and the application process and background checks are very rigorous.
For many years, our legal team at Wehage-Zickwolf Law Firm, LLC, has successfully guided our clients through the journey of becoming a citizen. The process begins with assessing if you have been a permanent resident for five years (or three years if you got your status through a marriage), you then may be eligible to become a U.S. citizen. The waivers for English are very limited and difficult to obtain in this current environment. Annie Wehage-Zickwolf, with the experience and background of 35 years in healthcare, and 25 years in Legal Practice, can help you navigate those applications with insight and wealth of medical knowledge.
