Miguel became a U.S. citizen through naturalization and immediately wanted to bring his wife Sofia and their two children to the United States. The family had been separated for three years while Miguel established himself, and reunion was their top priority.
Our firm handled Miguel's family petition and subsequent adjustment of status applications. We knew documentation would be critical, so we gathered extensive evidence of the genuine marriage including photos, joint finances, correspondence, and affidavits from family members.
We filed the I-130 petitions and, once approved, immediately filed I-485 adjustment applications for Sofia and the children. Our thorough preparation paid off when USCIS issued an RFE requesting additional proof of the bona fide marriage - we had anticipated this and had evidence ready.
After the interview at the local USCIS office, which we prepared the family extensively for, Sofia and the children received approval. The family was finally reunited permanently.
