At Cristea & Tatti Law Firm, we understand that family is everything. That’s why we are dedicated to helping U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (LPRs) navigate the complexities of family-based immigration. Whether you are seeking to bring a family member to the United States or adjust the status of a loved one already in the country, our experienced attorneys are here to guide you every step of the way.
✔ Petitions for Family Members – We assist U.S. citizens and LPRs in filing petitions for their immediate relatives, including spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
✔ Adjustment of Status – If your loved one is already in the U.S., we can help them transition to lawful permanent resident (green card) status without having to leave the country.
✔ Consular Processing – For family members applying from outside the U.S., we streamline the visa process through consular offices to ensure a smooth transition.
✔ Fiancé(e) & Marriage Visas – We provide legal assistance with K-1 fiancé(e) visas and marriage-based green cards to help couples reunite in the U.S.
✔ Waivers & Appeals – If your loved one faces inadmissibility issues, we can help you apply for waivers and represent your case in appeals when necessary.
✔ Citizenship & Naturalization – Once your family members become permanent residents, we assist them in taking the next step toward U.S. citizenship.

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for certain relatives. Citizens can sponsor spouses, children, parents, and siblings, while permanent residents can sponsor spouses and unmarried children. We review your relationship and status to confirm who you can petition for and the best way to do it.
It depends on the relationship and the family member’s category. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, such as spouses and parents, are usually faster, while other categories can involve longer waits due to visa availability. We explain the realistic timeline for your specific situation.
Not always. If your loved one is already in the country and meets the requirements, they may be able to adjust status to lawful permanent resident without leaving. For family members applying from abroad, we handle the process through consular processing instead.
Some issues can be addressed through waivers, which ask the government to excuse a ground of inadmissibility. We assess whether a waiver applies, help you file it, and represent you in appeals when necessary so a setback does not have to end the process.
