Spouse Visa
Massachusetts and Connecticut Immigration Lawyer
At The Harrington Law Firm we help clients from Connecticut, Massachusetts and
across the United States deal with family immigration cases involving petitioning
for Spouse Visa. Spouses and family members of U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent
Residents (LPR's) may obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States if they
are sponsored by their family member. These cases are often described as family-based
petitions. A petitioner, U.S. citizen spouse can apply for their spouse either in the
United States or in the foreign country where the spouse resides. If the spouse in
living in the United States and had a legal entry into the U.S. then the U.S. citizen
could apply for the spouse in the United States. This Spouse petitioner would file
Form I-130 and Form I-485 with the appropriate USCIS Service Center for processing.
If the marriage has been for less than 2 years then the beneficiary would receive
conditional permanent residency for two years. The beneficiary would then have to file
for removal of the condition by filing Form I-751.
If the beneficiary spouse lives outside the United States, the U.S. citizen Petitioner
would file Form I-130 in the United States and upon approval, the beneficiary spouse
would consular process for an immigrant visa.
Family members of U.S. Citizens or LPR's can also obtain permanent residency in the
United States if their relationship is defined in one of the six categories that are
necessary for the beneficiary to obtain permanent residency in the United States. The
petitioner would file Form I-130 on behalf of the beneficiary family member. The date
of filing is the priority date. As soon as the priority date is current which depends
on the family relationship, then the consular processing application will begin.
