Family-based immigration is a complicated and oftentimes lengthy process. Many family-based visas take years to become available. For applicants living in the United States, also need to determine whether they are eligible to apply for residency in the United States or must travel abroad for consular processing. Furthermore, applicants with certain criminal convictions, or those who have been unlawfully present in the United States, may need a waiver before being able to use their petition to apply for residency. To determine if you or your family member are eligible for family-based immigration, consult with one of our attorneys or accredited representatives. Please call our hotline number 213-814-5248. CARECEN offers services at a variety of locations across Los Angeles.
