Reunite Your Family in the United States with a Family Petition
If you are a U.S. resident or citizen, you can help your loved ones obtain a Green Card and live legally in the country. At JAL LAW, we are with you every step of the way.
What is the Family Petition?
The family petition is the legal process that allows citizens and permanent residents of the United States to apply for a Green Card for some of their family members, facilitating their reunification and establishing a legal path to permanent residency.

- Parents
- Siblings
Permanent residents can petition for:

Benefits of the Family Petition:
