Family and permanence · page hero

You can start with the family situation and what you intend to build — the path is organized from there.

The option is not defined only by the type of family tie. It depends on the family story, current status, permanence or citizenship goal and how the information connects.

  • I want residence based on an eligible marriage

  • I seek residence through another eligible family tie

  • I have marriage-based conditional residence and need to remove conditions

  • I want to organize the path to U.S. citizenship

  • I am already in the U.S. and need to understand the next step with my family

  • I am not sure yet which option matches my situation

Four family options. Four different moments.

All relate to family ties, permanence or citizenship, but they do not require the same status, documentation or stage of the journey. Knowing the initial differences helps you ask better questions.

MGM does not guarantee approval or replace legal advice. Legal representation, when needed, is handled by an independent licensed attorney.

A family story needs to be organized, not only told.

Ties, documents, status and goals need to form a clear, coherent line. In the initial stage, we seek to understand the family’s current situation and what already exists to move forward.

No single element tells the whole story. Value lies in how the information connects · and that is what we organize in the preliminary assessment.

Understand how to begin

Trust comes from clarity, care and follow-through.

We do not promise shortcuts or automatic outcomes. Our commitment is to make the process understandable, organized and conducted with seriousness.

A clear work plan

Steps, priorities and responsibilities are organized so the process does not rely on improvisation.

Centralized information

Documents, requests and pending items are coordinated in a structured way, reducing scatter and rework.

Clear communication

You receive objective guidance on what needs to be done and can track the next step in the process.

We turn scattered information into an organized journey.

A family project may gather personal documents, evidence of the relationship, status and participants with distinct responsibilities. MGM creates structure so information and pending items move within a clear flow.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you begin.

Do I need to know which form to choose before the assessment?

No. The preliminary assessment starts with the family situation, current status and permanence or citizenship goal. You do not need to master form names to take the first step

What is the difference between marriage and kinship in these pathways?

They are distinct family ties that, in some scenarios, support different residence pathways. Fit depends on family history and the case · confirmed in the preliminary assessment and, when engaged, with an independent attorney · with no eligibility guarantee in this FAQ

Is marriage-based residence always permanent from the start?

No. In many scenarios, marriage-based residence begins with conditions and requires organized document continuity. Details depend on the case and need careful review

Can I include children in the same process?

In some categories, a spouse and children may be included in project organization as family members. Whether and how that applies to your case depends on individual analysis by an authorized professional · the preliminary assessment helps gather context

Does the preliminary assessment guarantee eligibility or approval?

No. The preliminary assessment organizes the picture and guides the next step. It does not conclude eligibility, approval or outcome

What is a Green Card?

It is the common name for the document that proves lawful permanent residence in the United States. A Green Card holder may live and work in the country permanently, subject to the rules for maintaining that status. It is not U.S. citizenship

What is the I-130 petition?

In general terms (informational guidance): the form through which a U.S. citizen or permanent resident asks for recognition of a family relationship for immigration purposes. It is a common step on family pathways; alone it does not complete the Green Card. Case applicability belongs to an independent attorney

What is N-400?

In general terms (informational guidance): the naturalization application form · a path to U.S. citizenship, generally after permanent residence and other case conditions. It differs from the Green Card (residence, not citizenship). Eligibility is independent-attorney analysis

What is USCIS?

It is the U.S. government agency that handles many immigration and citizenship filings inside the country (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). When a case has steps abroad, other agencies (such as the Department of State) may also be involved
