Family Immigration from Dominican Republic
Helping Florida families bring loved ones from Dominican Republic to the United States through the family immigration process. Our Miami office provides experienced guidance from petition filing through arrival.
Family Immigration for Dominican Nationals
Family-based immigration allows US citizens and permanent residents to petition for Dominican family members including spouses, parents, children, and siblings. The process begins with filing an I-130 petition with USCIS. Depending on the preference category and country of birth, there may be a wait for a visa number. Once available, your family member completes consular processing at the US Embassy in Dominican Republic and receives an immigrant visa to enter the United States.
