Family immigration can involve petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, and questions about how a relative’s history affects the path forward. The paperwork is only one part of the process. Families also need a clear understanding of the relationship evidence, prior immigration history, and timing that may matter.
Contigo Law works with individuals and families on immigration matters connected to spouses, parents, children, and other qualifying relatives. The team reviews the circumstances before recommending a path, because the right process can change when there are prior entries, removals, unlawful presence, or other complications.
A consultation gives you space to explain your family’s situation and ask practical questions before filing. It is better to bring a complete history early than to try to correct missing information later.
Family immigration may include
- A petition for a spouse, parent, child, or other family member
- Questions about adjustment of status or consular processing
- Prior entries, visa overstays, or immigration filings
- Requests for evidence or other notices after a filing
Bring a complete family picture
- Bring identity and civil documents that show the family relationship.
- List prior immigration filings, entries, departures, and any immigration court history.
- Bring prior receipts, notices, decisions, or correspondence from immigration agencies.
- Write down the questions your family wants answered so nothing important is missed.

Frequently asked questions
Can every family member file the same type of petition?
No. The available process depends on the relationship, immigration history, and other facts. An attorney can explain the options that may apply to your family.
Should I file before speaking with an attorney?
If there are prior entries, immigration issues, or uncertainty about the right process, it is wise to speak with an attorney first. A consultation can help identify what needs careful review.
What happens after I file?
The next step depends on the type of case. Keep copies of everything submitted and bring any new notice to your attorney promptly.
