Experienced Immigration Representation For Family-Based Visas

Bringing family to the U.S. is a journey filled with hope and challenges. Many families dream of reuniting with loved ones in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. The path can be complex and overwhelming. But with help from our experienced and compassionate immigration lawyers at Cox & Cox Law Office, PLLC, it’s possible. 

Various Types Of Family-Based Visas

Family-based visas come in different forms, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a brief overview of the main types:

  • Immediate relative visas for close family members of U.S. citizens 
  • Family preference visas for more distant relatives of citizens and some lawful permanent resident (LPR) relatives 
  • K-1 fiancé(e) visas for foreign nationals engaged to U.S. citizens 
  • K-3/K-4 spouse and child visas for families of U.S. citizens awaiting immigrant visas 

Each visa type has its own requirements and processes. Seek legal guidance from our experienced immigration attorneys to help you through them. 

Eligibility For Family-Based Visas

Eligibility depends on various factors, including your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident and your personal history. For example, K-1 fiancé visas allow U.S. citizens to bring their foreign fiancé(e)s to the U.S. with these specific requirements: 

  • The sponsor must meet minimum income requirements based on federal poverty guidelines. These vary by household size and are updated annually. As of 2024, the minimum for most states is typically around $20,000-$25,000 for a household of two. 
  • Not everyone is eligible. Those with certain criminal records or immigration violations may face challenges bringing their loved ones to the U.S. 
  • Proving your relationship is crucial. Share photos, correspondence and travel records. Show evidence of meeting in person within two years of applying. 

Our attorneys can guide you through your application, prove the authenticity of your relationship and meet all legal requirements.
