Who can apply to you with immigration?

Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

This is a question that many people have who want to obtain residency in the country and have family members who can apply for them, or who have a family member who can apply for them. companies. It is important to land exactly who can make a family request o request work.

Family request

Spouse

It does not matter if they are residents or U.S. citizens. The interesting thing is that the waiting time is the same. Currently there is a Visa available immediately if you are petitioned by a U.S. citizen or resident spouse. As long as you understand that there is a waiting period for approval of the petition.

Once the request has been approved, you can proceed with the residence or the pardon within the country to obtain the residency at the American embassy. This is why it is important to have the legal advice of your lawyer, because we already know that our priority is that, if you can get your residency within the country, so much the better. But not everyone qualifies.

Parents

You can be petitioned by a resident parent or U.S. citizen. There is only one limitation, and that is that resident parents cannot petition if you are married. However, if your parent is a U.S. citizen, they can petition if you are married or single.

Children

Children can order, but they must be U.S. citizens and over 21 years of age. It is very important that they are of legal age. 

Sisters

Siblings can help you order, but you must be a U.S. citizen. Here it does not matter if you are married or single. Remember that, in all of these categories, many of them allow you to include your spouse and children, which is called the derivatives.

But, you can't always include them. For example, in resident requests, a resident parent cannot include your spouse because the resident cannot ask you if you are married. There are many other examples like this.

As lawyers, we want to include the whole family. If possible, include your spouse and your children under 21.
Many times we can include nieces, nephews, grandchildren, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law. So there are many possibilities when we talk about family requests. 

Request work

Labor petitions are a very good alternative. We Hispanics are hard workers and we earn the trust of our employers. Many times, we are the right hand in a business. If we don't have the papers, the employer can tell us "I want to help you". 

Yesterday with the work team, we went to one of our favorite restaurants here in Miami, and a gentleman approached us. He recognized me from social media and TV and said, "I've been looking at you for years, I've been trying to get the restaurant to order for me". So, I clarified the problem, which is that they did not speak to him with the whole truth. Yes, you can be asked by your employer, but it is important to be advised by a lawyer.

If you are undocumented within the country, you must qualify for a combination. For example, a combination with 245I is one possibility, or a combination with the waiver of a parent or spouse who is a resident alien or U.S. citizen. Generally the latter combination is when you combine the waiver on the basis of a parent. Why? Because if you have a resident citizen spouse, petitioning for residency on the basis of the spouse is much easier.

Case in Mexico

If you are in Mexico, the TN Visa is great. It is the easiest visa to obtain in the world. But of course, you need an employer in the US as a basic requirement.

If you have a parent who is going to petition you, the petition takes 20 years. We can process the pardon on a parent basis or we do the process on a company basis, which is much faster than having to wait 20 years for that family petition.

I have given you an infinite number of combinations through your family, and through your company. The important thing is to have a good legal representation.
