At Allison Rub, P.A., we understand that nothing is more important than keeping families together. Our immigration practice is built on the belief that every family deserves clear guidance, strong advocacy, and a dedicated legal team that genuinely cares about the outcome.

Our firm proudly serves clients throughout the United States, offering personalized support for every type of family-based immigration matter.
Family Based Immigration Options for Relatives of U.S. Citizens
U.S. citizens have the ability to petition for several categories of immediate and extended family members, each with its own rules, timelines, and requirements. At Allison Rub, P.A., we explain each option, determine the most effective route, and prepare a strong, well-documented petition.
Petition Options for U.S. Citizens Include:
- Immediate Relatives Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens. These cases do not face annual visa limits and often offer the fastest path to residency.
- Family Preference Categories
- F1 — Unmarried adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
- F3 — Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
- F4 — Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens
- Fiancé(e) & Spousal Visas
- K-1 visas for fiancés/fiancées entering the U.S. to marry within 90 days
- K-3 visas for spouses of U.S. citizens waiting abroad while their immigrant petition is pending
These categories require strong documentary evidence and careful preparation—something our firm takes great pride in delivering.
Family Based Immigration Options for Relatives of Permanent Residents
Green card holders can also petition for certain family members. Although these cases may involve waiting periods depending on visa availability, they remain one of the most common paths to U.S. residency.
Petition Options for Permanent Residents Include:
- F2A — Spouses and unmarried children under 21 of permanent residents
- F2B — Unmarried adult sons and daughters of permanent residents
We guide permanent residents through each step, from preparing the initial petition to monitoring visa bulletin movement and completing the adjustment or consular process when the priority date becomes current.
Additional Pathways for Family Reunification
Some families may qualify for alternative immigration categories that provide temporary or permanent relief. At Allison Rub, P.A., we help clients evaluate options such as:
- Humanitarian visas for victims of crime or trafficking (U & T visas)
- Certain special immigrant classifications
- Parole programs and humanitarian reinstatement
- Waivers for families facing inadmissibility issues
Our goal is to explore every possible avenue that may allow a loved one to join or remain with family in the United States.
International Adoption Support
One of the most meaningful areas of our practice involves assisting families with international adoptions. Bringing a child home from abroad requires navigating both U.S. immigration laws and the adoption laws of the child’s home country. Our firm helps families:
- Understand Hague vs. non-Hague adoption requirements
- File the correct immigration forms for adopted children
- Complete the steps necessary for the child to obtain lawful permanent residence and/or U.S. citizenship
This work is incredibly rewarding, and we are honored to help create lifelong family bonds through adoption.
