Family-Based Immigration Attorneys in Philadelphia
Keeping families together is a core principle of U.S. immigration law. At Winkler Quintanilla, we help U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents petition for family members to join them or remain legally in the United States. We handle every step of the petition process with care and precision.
Who Can You Petition For?
Eligible family relationships include:
Spouse
Child (biological, adopted, or stepchild)
Parent (if the petitioner is a U.S. citizen age 21+)
Sibling (for U.S. citizens age 21+)
Each family-based petition starts with Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.
What the Process Looks Like
File Form I-130 to establish the relationship
Wait for USCIS approval
Begin Adjustment of Status (if in the U.S.) or Consular Processing (if abroad)
Many family-based petitions ultimately lead to adjustment of status, allowing eligible immigrants already in the United States to apply for lawful permanent residency without leaving the country.

After receiving a green card through a family petition, many individuals later pursue citizenship through naturalization once they meet the residency requirements.
