Life is too short to have to wait longer than is absolutely necessary for your spouse, fiancé(e) or partner to join you after you have settled in the U.S. We are committed to helping you reunite in the quickest time possible. Trying to makes sense of when and how the immigration laws allow you realize one of life's fundamental conditions is not easy. Will we be together faster if we get married or remain engaged? If we decide to marry, where should this take place? What kind of marriage ceremony is required? Does my spouse need to leave the U.S.? Can my same-sex partner get a "green card?"
Having worked with thousands of couples over decades of practice, we know what it takes to navigate the often baffling landscape of visa options, impenetrable application forms and documentation requirements, and seemingly endless delays. We have also helped numerous gay and lesbian couples utilize many of the visa options which keep each partner here and together. Since the 1970s, we have been involved in assisting the LBGT community with creative and effective solutions to their immigration concerns.
Our attorneys include California State-bar certified specialists with decades of experience in family immigration. Simmons & Ungar attorneys have authored and edited professional publications on family-based immigration topics and the special issues related to same-sex couples. We are ready to assist you and your loved one share your lives together in the United States in the most expeditious and assured manner possible.
