What Is Family-Based Immigration?

Family-based immigration is one of the most common paths to lawful permanent residence in the U.S. It allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor certain relatives for green cards, visas, or other immigration benefits.


At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we assist with all aspects of family-based immigration, including:



In addition to traditional family petitions, we also handle more complex and sensitive cases involving humanitarian relief and derivative citizenship.

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Victims of abuse at the hands of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child may be eligible for relief under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)—regardless of gender.


We help survivors:

  • File self-petitions (Form I-360) confidentially
  • Avoid relying on their abuser for immigration status
  • Include children as derivatives, when eligible
  • Transition to lawful permanent residence


Our firm handles VAWA cases with compassion, care, and complete discretion.

Consular Processing

If your relative is outside the United States, they may be required to complete the immigration process through consular processing.


We assist families with:

  • Filing immigrant petitions (Form I-130)
  • Navigating the National Visa Center (NVC) process
  • Preparing for consular interviews
  • Addressing issues such as inadmissibility or prior immigration violations


With strong experience in consular procedures, we help ensure your loved one’s immigration journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible.


Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA)


A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent may be eligible for U.S. citizenship at birth. This can be documented with a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).


We guide U.S. citizen parents through:

  • Determining eligibility based on physical presence and citizenship laws
  • Preparing and submitting the CRBA application (Form DS-2029)
  • Scheduling appointments at U.S. embassies or consulates


A successful CRBA allows your child to receive a U.S. passport and full citizenship rights from birth.


Removal of Conditions on Permanent Residence (Form I-751)

When a foreign spouse obtains a green card through marriage, it is initially conditional and valid for only two years. To maintain permanent residency, you must file Form I-751 to remove those conditions.


We assist couples and individuals with:

  • Filing joint petitions or waiver-based petitions (in cases of divorce or abuse)
  • Gathering strong evidence of a good-faith marriage
  • Responding to USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
  • Representing clients in interviews


Whether your marriage remains intact or has changed, we’ll help you protect your legal status.


Cuban Adjustment of Status

Under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA), Cuban nationals and certain accompanying family members may apply for lawful permanent residence after one year of physical presence in the U.S.


We help clients:

  • Determine eligibility under the CAA
  • File Form I-485 and supporting documentation
  • Handle related forms for work and travel permits
  • Prepare for USCIS interviews


Our attorneys have extensive experience with Cuban immigration cases and are proud to serve the Cuban-American community throughout Florida.


Special Immigrant Juveniles (SIJs)

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJ) is a humanitarian immigration option for minors who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents.


We provide full representation for:

  • Family court proceedings to obtain required SIJ findings
  • Filing the I-360 petition for SIJ classification
  • Applying for adjustment of status (green card)
  • Coordinating with state and immigration authorities


We’re deeply committed to protecting vulnerable children and ensuring they have the opportunity for a safe and stable future in the U.S.
