What Chinese Migrants Must Know About Family-Based Immigration to the United States

America is a land of immigrants, and the Chinese are one of the most notable immigrant groups in the country's history. Many Chinese come to the United States in search of better opportunities and a better life. However, the immigration process to the United States can be complex and challenging. This blog post will provide insights into the family-based immigration process for Chinese migrants interested in immigrating to the United States.


The most common way for Chinese migrants to immigrate to the United States is through the family-based immigration process. Family-based immigration is designated for immediate relatives of United States citizens or legal permanent residents. The family members include spouses, parents, children, and siblings of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The category of the family member and the immigration status of the family member who filed the petition determine the processing time.


One of the most significant benefits of family-based immigration is that it is less restrictive than other immigration categories. Chinese migrants can legally reside and work in the United States while their petition is pending, and there is no limit to the number of visas issued each year.


Many Chinese migrants are traveling on foot through Mexico to the United States due to the current political climate. The current U.S. administration is perceived as being hostile to immigrants, and the Chinese migrants are using this method to avoid being detained or deported. However, this method of entry is illegal and often hazardous, and we urge Chinese migrants to avoid it. Lively Law Firm can provide legal assistance to Chinese migrants interested in immigrating to the United States through legal means.


Lively Law Firm has extensive experience in the immigration process and can provide legal support to Chinese migrants who want to come to the United States. We can assist in preparing the application and navigate the legal requirements, ensuring that there are no roadblocks in the way to achieving the desired outcome.


In summary, the family-based immigration process is the most common and less restrictive method of immigrating to the United States for Chinese migrants. Chinese migrants must avoid illegal and dangerous means to enter the United States and seek legal assistance from Lively Law Firm to help navigate the immigration process. With the right support and guidance, Chinese migrants can achieve their dreams of living and working in the United States legally.
