If you have a qualifying family member outside the United States, you may be able to help them immigrate through an immigrant visa application and consular processing, so they can enter the United States as a permanent resident.
Family-based immigration is more limited than many people realize: qualifying relationships include spouses, fiance(e)s, parents, children, and siblings, and the timeline depends on the family relationship, the petitioner's status, and the beneficiary's age and marital status.
In most cases the firm can file the petition within the first month, then continues representing you through the National Visa Center stage and the consular interview.
Border Crossing Law Firm handles this service for a clear flat fee of $1,000/month for 8 months, $8,000 in total. Work on your case begins with the first payment. Government filing fees are separate and not included in the legal fee.
For Form I-130 (family petition, all categories), USCIS currently reports that most cases complete in roughly 21.5 months to 31.5 years, depending on case type and office (USCIS data, July 15, 2026). This covers only USCIS's petition stage; National Visa Center and consulate steps add time, and the range spans immediate-relative through preference categories. See current USCIS processing times for your office.
Government filing fees change frequently. We confirm the current amounts with you again at the time of filing, and the firm is not responsible for government fee increases.
A K-1 fiance(e) case uses the separate fiance(e)-visa service.
After the first payment, the firm e-mails an Attorney-Client Contract for electronic signature, a link to the online intake form, and a checklist of documents to start collecting. Attorney Shahid Haque is available by e-mail, phone, and video throughout the case.
