Family Sponsorship (Consular Processing and Adjustment of Status) Keeping Families Together Across Borders and Within Them

Your family belongs together. Let’s find the right path to make that happen.

Family is at the heart of the U.S. immigration system, and whether your loved one is abroad or
already living in the United States, there is a pathway to bring them home permanently. Consular
processing is the route for family members applying from outside the U.S., while adjustment of
status allows eligible individuals already in the country to apply for their green card without
leaving.

At NeoVita Law Group, we guide U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents through the
family sponsorship process from start to finish, preparing petitions, navigating visa bulletin
priority dates, preparing families for consular interviews, and managing adjustment applications.
We understand how deeply personal these cases are, and we treat every file with the attention and
care your family deserves.

 

Why Choose NeoVita:

    • – We handle both consular processing and adjustment of status cases with equal expertise.
    • – We monitor visa bulletin movement and advise you on the best timing strategy.
    • – We prepare sponsors and beneficiaries thoroughly so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between consular processing and adjustment of status?

Consular processing is for family members outside the U.S. who attend an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Adjustment of status is for eligible individuals already in the U.S. who apply for their green card without leaving.

Who can be sponsored through family immigration?

U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Lawful permanent residents can sponsor spouses and unmarried children.

What are priority dates and why do they matter?

Some family-based categories are subject to annual visa caps, creating waiting lines. Your priority date is your place in line, and you must wait until your date is current before proceeding to the final steps.

How long does the process take?

Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, including spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents, have no annual cap and generally move fastest. Other family preference categories can take years depending on the category and country of birth.

What is an affidavit of support?

The sponsoring family member must file Form I-864 to demonstrate they can financially support
the immigrant at 125% of the federal poverty level.
