Law Office of Xavier A. Mendez, PLLC

US citizens and legal permanent residents can sponsor family members to live and work in the U.S. as legal permanent residents. This sponsorship process is known as Family Immigration, the simplest way for a foreign national to become a U.S. permanent resident. It is usually achieved in two stages. First, the Family Visa Petition, also referred to as Family Petition. The second one is the Permanent Residency Application. A foreign national may become a U.S. permanent resident if a relative of a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident or citizen petitions her to do so. The petitioner must demonstrate that they have a relationship with the foreign national that qualifies under immigration law. The U.S. citizen relative or permanent resident must petition the U.S. government for a favorable ruling recognizing their relationship as one that makes the foreign national eligible for U.S. permanent residence (Family Petition step). The act of submitting the family petition from the U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member who is seeking a favorable ruling from the U.S. government constitutes a petitioner-beneficiary relationship (petitioner) and a beneficiary relationship between the U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member seeking the family petition and the foreign relative seeking U.S. permanent residence (beneficiary).
