What Is Family-Based Immigration?
Family-based immigration refers to the process of becoming a resident of the United States through family relations. There are two parties in any given family-based immigration case: the Sponsor and the Beneficiary.
The Sponsor is either a U.S. citizen (USC) or permanent resident (LPR) who files an immigration petition on behalf of a relative—the Beneficiary—to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Who Can Be a Sponsor?
In order to be a Sponsor of a family-based immigration petition, an individual must meet some requirements.
All sponsors must be:
- A U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- At least 18 years old to sign an Affidavit of Support
- An occupier of a U.S. dwelling
If eligible, a sponsor may apply for a family visa. This process will involve a few steps with the USCIS.
The steps for applying for a family visa include:
- Filing an I-130 Petition for an alien relative and receiving approval
- Demonstrating an ability to financially support one’s relative at least 125% above the poverty line, until he or she becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked for 40 qualifying quarters
- Executing an Affidavit of Support, claiming legal responsibility to financially support their sponsored relative

"Fought Hard, Delivered More"In short - I will forever recommend Mrs Meaders and her law firm staff! ... Mrs Meaders very recently was a significant part in the big blessing that our family received. Our family member's situation was a hard one, a case that most attorneys couldn't handle - but Mrs Meaders did. She did what most believed was impossible. We hoped for one outcome and came out with so much more. Mrs Meaders is full of passion for what she does, is extremely knowledgeable, and has such an amazing and inspiring personality ready to fight for her clients. Having dealt with an attorney prior to Mrs Meaders that destroyed us mentally and emotionally, Mrs Meaders was truly God sent. She took the time to really review every single piece of our case yet worked diligently, making positive moves in the case in a short period of time. Her love for her clients and families is a gift in itself. She and her staff offer such great patience and communication and will never make you feel rushed or misunderstood. Mrs Meaders and her staff always responded to every and any questions or concerns promptly, professionally, and genuinely. Mrs Meaders and her staff will never be forgotten and will forever be appreciated for accomplishing what seemed so impossible. Our family members case consisted of an immigration and criminal case combined. We were told multiple times that our only option was a voluntary departure if she was even granted that avenue. Mrs Meaders fought both cases and our family member not only returned back home to us, but came back in a position where she is not only able to retain her residency but is now also able to obtain her citizenship. Mrs Meaders is one amazing human being and attorney. Through her hard work and dedication, God has restored and reunited our family. Thank you Mrs Alexandra Meaders and law firm...FOR EVERYTHING!- C. M.

So much stress Pero La Abogada Alexandra Meaders gave us faith, hope, & that confidence every family needs through tough times. She was professional in all the categories throughout our process.
