Family Immigration from India
Helping Florida families bring loved ones from India to the United States through the family immigration process. Our Miami office provides experienced guidance from petition filing through arrival.
Family Immigration for Indian Nationals
Family-based immigration allows US citizens and permanent residents to petition for Indian 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 India and receives an immigrant visa to enter the United States.
