Family and residence · Family immigration
Residence based on an eligible family relationship.
Residence processes based on an eligible family relationship. MGM organizes information, documents and administrative workflow so the project advances with clarity and care.
You can start with the family relationship and the residence goal — the document roadmap is built later.
A residence pathway tied to the family story.
Pathways based on an eligible family relationship may support U.S. residence when the picture is organized with clarity and care.
Eligible family relationship
Marriage or another kinship with an eligible family relationship.
Document organization
Evidence of the relationship, status and participants coordinated with method.
Care and clarity
MGM coordinates the project; legal advice belongs to an independent attorney.
Applicability depends on the relationship, the status of the people involved and the other applicable stages.
Not every family relationship opens the same pathway.
Family immigration often deserves review when there is an eligible relationship, a residence goal and a need to organize the story with care · not only a generic intent.
Residence based on an eligible marriage
There is a marital relationship that may support a residence pathway when the picture is organized.
Residence through another eligible family tie
There is another eligible kinship that must be understood seriously.
Family already partly in the U.S.
Part of the family is already in the United States and status needs to be organized with clarity.
Comparison with N-400
You may also be evaluating citizenship (N-400) and need clarity on the next step.
No single element defines the picture. The set must be organized and explored case by case.
A family story needs to be organized, not only told.
Relationship, status and documentation form a story that must stay coherent · from first contact through the administrative stages.
The first step is not to gather every document. It is to understand the goal, the relationship and what still needs to be explored.
The family scenario needs to be understood before it is documented.
MGM coordinates information, documents, participants and administrative steps so the project advances with organization and clarity.

Guidance
Marriage or kinship?
Both pathways can involve residence through a family relationship, but they start from different foundations.
Marriage
Residence based on an eligible marital relationship
A residence pathway tied to an eligible marriage · with its own document organization and stages.
Kinship
Residence through another eligible family tie
A residence pathway tied to another kinship with an eligible family relationship.
Already have conditional residence? Start the preliminary assessment
In some scenarios, more than one pathway may deserve review. The choice should not be made only by the category name.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you begin.
Do I need to know whether it is marriage or kinship before assessing?
No. The preliminary assessment starts with the family situation, current status and residence goal. You do not need to master the distinction between categories to take the first step
Does MGM handle any type of kinship?
No. MGM organizes residence processes within the family categories it coordinates. Fit must be understood case by case · with no invented relationship list and no eligibility confirmation in this FAQ
Is family immigration only the initial residence petition?
No. Family immigration covers residence pathways based on an eligible relationship. In some scenarios there are continuity stages after conditional residence · organized in the case context, without a standalone public page
Does MGM provide legal advice?
No. MGM coordinates information, documents and project participants. Legal strategy, advice and representation belong to an independent licensed attorney when engaged
Can I include children?
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 assessment guarantee eligibility?
No. The preliminary assessment organizes the picture and guides the next step. It does not conclude eligibility, approval or outcome
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 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 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
Your family story deserves a careful review.
Tell us about the relationship, current status and residence goal. We can start with the relationship and the goal.
Initial contact with no guarantee of eligibility, approval or outcome. Submission does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not create an engagement. MGM provides global mobility coordination and administrative support; legal services, when needed, are provided separately by independent U.S.-licensed counsel.
