Tindall & Foster has thirty plus years of experience in assisting clients with petitioning for their foreign spouses, children, parents, siblings, and fiances. 

Spouses, Minor Children and Parents of U.S. Citizens currently residing in the United States

An immigrant visa is immediately available for a U.S. citizen's spouse, minor children and parents.  The wait time relates to the Citizenship and Immigration Services processing time.  In such cases, Tindall & Foster assists clients and their family members with the collection and preparation of extensive required documentation, filing the visa petition and adjustment of status with work and travel authorization, and attorney representation at all related interviews.

Spouses, Minor Children and Parents of U.S. Citizens living outside the United States

An immigrant visa is also ordinarily immediately available for a U.S. citizen's spouse, minor children and parents when they are living outside the United States.  The wait time in such cases depends on the Citizenship and Immigration Service's and Department of State's processing times.  In such cases, Tindall & Foster assists clients and their family members with the collection and preparation of extensive required documentation, filing the appropriate visa petition, and attorney preparation for consular interviews.

K-3 Visa Petition for Spouses and K-4 Visa Petition for Minor Children Outside the United States. 

The K-3/4 may be available to bring a spouse and minor children to the United States sooner than an immigrant visa petition.  In addition to assisting clients and family members with the filing of the immigrant visa petition, Tindall & Foster's attorneys will prepare and file the K-3/4 visa petition, prepare the family members for their consular interview, and prepare and file for the family members subsequent adjustment of status in the United States.

Fiance Visa Petitions

A U.S. citizen has the legal right to petition for his or her foreign fiancé.  Tindall & Foster regularly prepare and files fiance visa petitions with the necessary supporting evidence to demonstrate a bona fide relationship.  Our representation includes collecting the required documentation, preparing and filing the visa petition, preparing the fiance for their consular interview, and filing the subsequent adjustment of status and attorney representation at a subsequent interview.

Removal of Conditional Status

When a couple has been married for less than two years at the time the foreign spouse interviews for their adjustment of status or interviews for their immigrant visa, the foreign spouse should be granted permanent residency on a two-year conditional basis.  At the end of those two years, Tindall & Foster will prepare and file a client's application to remove the conditions on permanent residency.  In the case of a legally separated or divorced couple, our attorneys have had great success in overcoming the joint filing requirement in order for the conditional resident to have their conditions removed.

Adult Children of U.S. Citizens, Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents, Married Children of U.S. Citizens, and Brothers and Sisters of U.S. Citizens

Tindall & Foster prepares and files immigrant visa petitions for those family members subject to the Visa Preference Categories. Although Visa are ordinarily not immediately available, and may take some years to become actionable, Tindall & Foster continually monitors the progress of the petition and visa availability and pursue immediate options where available to reunite family members separated by immigration quotas.  When the time comes to pursue consular processing or to file for adjustment of status, Tindall & Foster stands ready to pursue the case until these family members become lawful permanent residents.
