Our lawyers take great satisfaction in helping reunite fiancés, husbands and wives, parents and children, and brothers and sisters by helping them with safe and legal U.S. visa and residence applications.

Contact our immigration law office in Seattle if you would like to arrange a consultation with Ms. Higuera about family-based immigration.

When you discuss your family immigration problem with us, we will tell you exactly what to expect and we can do for you. We are respected for our knowledge of US immigration law and known for our dedication to our clients.

Family-based immigration matters the firm is prepared to handle include:

  • I-130 petitions for alien relatives, the first step in the legal immigration process for most family members
  • K-1 visa applications, to permit the fiancé or fiancée of a US citizen to enter the United States in order to marry
  • K-3 visa applications, to allow the spouse of a US citizen to enter the United States without a long wait
  • I-485 adjustment of status for family members present in the US, to obtain the green card (resident alien card) necessary to legally live and work in the United States
  • I-601 waivers of inadmissibility in conjunction with an application for residence for family members, for unlawful presence, criminal matters and other grounds of inadmissibility
  • I-212 waivers of prior removal or deportation in conjunction with a family member's application for residence
  • I-751 removal of conditions on residence for those whose conditional residency is based on marriage to a US citizen
  • I-751 waiver of the joint filing requirement for the removal of conditions based on abuse, hardship or good-faith marriage
  • I-360 self-petitions for survivors of family violence
  • N-400 naturalization applications to obtain citizenship for legal residents, including disability waivers

Our lawyers also do pro bono work for victims of domestic violence through the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, helping survivors of domestic violence and crime victims avoid the threat of deportation if they seek protection from their batterers.
