Family-Based Green Cards
Representation from Our Immigration Lawyers in Houston
Legal permanent residency in the United States can be obtained through sponsorship by a family member who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. This method is commonly used, but the rules — and the wait times involved — depend heavily on your relationship to the sponsor.
How Are Family-Based Green Cards Obtained?
Green cards through family members can be applied for by either a United States citizen or permanent resident. Immediate relatives of a citizen are given greater preference to obtain lawful permanent residency through this form of sponsorship.
Immediate relatives include:
- Spouse
- Unmarried children under age 21
- Parents
Relatives who are not considered "immediate" may be able to be sponsored through a "family-preference category." Individuals who may be eligible include the unmarried sons or daughters over the age of 21, married children of any age, and brothers / sisters of the citizen.
The steps to obtain a green card while inside and while outside of the United States are different. At Rodriguez Law Office, we offer the quality representation that you need. We have the experience and knowledge you can trust in to complete this process. Our Houston immigration attorneys are devoted to working hard and taking every possible route to obtain a positive case result.
Our firm also offers honest assessments of each client's case. We are here, first and foremost, to help the client.

We understand the specific laws and regulations that apply to your situation and can use this knowledge to help you avoid mistakes.

Would recommend Rodriguez Law Office to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable lawyer. Rebekah was able to provide advice and guidance to my family regarding a complex immigration case involving my disabled relative. We'd already tried before with a different lawyer. Unfortunately, we had very negative results and were about to give up. Rebekah not only provided advice (in English and Spanish), she also explained the process in a helpful and detailed manner, and she also provided additional resources to help us meet the requirements needed for our case involving the disability aspect. The results were as desired, and we very grateful to have found Rodriguez Law Office.

Choosing Rodriguez Law Office was the best decision my husband and I have made regarding his residency. She answered any and every question we had. Was also so honest and helpful during the process. We will definitely go back to her in the future and appreciate everything she was able to do for our family. Would recommend Rebekah to anyone in need of a immigration lawyer.
