Employment-based and family-based visas

Virginia Family-Based Visas Attorney

The Law Offices of Amelia L. Ramer in Reston, Virginia helps not only businesses, but also individuals and families who are seeking visas or permanent residency for themselves or relatives.  Once a client has chosen me to be his or her immigration attorney, I remain personally involved in the case from beginning to end.

I have assisted many individuals to obtain employment-based and family-based visas.  Some of the employment-based visas actions I help individuals with have included labor condition applications, labor certifications, and applications for permanent residency based on employment.

Family-based visas include those issued to spouses, children (under 21) and parents of U.S. citizens who are over 21.  A U.S. citizen over 21 may apply for a parent.  Other family preference categories that I work with include adult children of U.S. citizens, and siblings of U.S. citizens (who may need to wait longer than 10 years.)

Spouses and minor children of permanent residents may need to wait three years or more after filing the application for an available visa, while unmarried adult sons and daughters of permanent residents may need to wait five years or more.

Throughout the visa or residency application process, I am “on call” for my clients.  I answer inquiries, I keep clients informed of progress, and when the time comes for a hearing before the USCIS (the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, formerly known as The Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] and  later, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services [BCIS]), I will personally accompany you if you so desire, no matter where in the country you live.

Contact me to ask for an initial consultation on your employment-based or family-based visa matter.
