Family-Based Immigration

Helping You Bring Your Family to Live in the United States

If you are a naturalized citizen or permanent resident of the United States, being able to bring your family members to the U.S. can be an important part of the immigration process. With the documentary intensity and rigor of the whole ordeal, it can get complex and lengthy very quickly. Whether your family is still living abroad or lives with you and needs to get an adjustment of status to become legal residents, The Law Offices of Derek Lim in Fremont can help.

We have worked and continue to serve families from a diverse range of backgrounds and situations.

We also help U.S. citizens who are adopting a child from another country become eligible for and get the necessary visas to add a child to their family. Contact us online to learn more, we can help determine what your options are.

Whether you have fallen in love with someone who lives in a different country or you have been transferred to the U.S. for business and want to bring your family with you, we can help you obtain the necessary documentation to reunite you with your family. While the circumstances and requirements may differ depending on your status as either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident/green card holder, our immigration attorneys at our Fremont and San Francisco locations are well trained and experienced to help you through the process. We have years of experience working on family visas and will work diligently to bring yours here to California.

Immigration Help for Victims of Crime and Domestic Violence

If you are a victim of domestic violence or another crime, you still have rights under U.S. law, and you are able to file for legal status because of those crimes. Regardless of your citizenship or immigration status, you still have a right to legal protection. We will help you file a petition for nonimmigrant status to help the authorities pursue justice for the crime against you, and we can help you file for permanent resident status as well. If you or your children have been victims of domestic violence, we will help you file for permanent residence status without the knowledge of your spouse and keep it completely confidential under the Violence Against Women Act.
