Family is the foundation of immigration. At Stephen Roth Law, we guide families through every step of the process with clarity, compassion, and bilingual support. Se habla español.
Navigating the U.S. immigration system to reunite or remain with loved ones can be stressful and emotional — but you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re applying for a visa, seeking permanent residency, or facing obstacles due to your circumstances, Attorney Stephen Roth provides personalized guidance and strong advocacy for families in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and nationwide.
Family Immigration Law
If you are married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may qualify to apply for a green card through adjustment of status without leaving the country. We help couples prepare accurate petitions, gather strong supporting evidence, and navigate interviews confidently — minimizing delays and stress.
Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
For family members living outside the U.S., the visa process happens through consular offices abroad. We coordinate directly with consulates and the National Visa Center to ensure your documentation is complete, communication is clear, and your loved one’s interview is successful.
Consular Processing
VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) Petition
We assist individuals who have experienced abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child. Through VAWA, you may self-petition for legal status independently and safely. Our office handles these sensitive cases with discretion, respect, and compassion.
For couples separated by borders, the K-1 (fiancé(e)) and K-3 (spouse) visas offer a path to reunification in the U.S. We assist with every step — from filing the initial petition to preparing for the consular interview — ensuring you and your partner can begin your lives together as smoothly as possible.
K-1 Fiancé(e) / K-3 Spouse Visas
Some family members may be found “inadmissible” due to prior immigration violations or other circumstances. We prepare strong, evidence-backed waiver applications to help you overcome these barriers and reunite your family.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
Children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by a parent may qualify for lawful permanent residence under SIJS. We guide families and guardians through this process to ensure young people have the protection and stability they deserve.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
Immediate Relative & Family Preference Visas
If you are married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may qualify to apply for a green card through adjustment of status without leaving the country. We help couples prepare accurate petitions, gather strong supporting evidence, and navigate interviews confidently — minimizing delays and stress.
Removal of Conditions on Permanent Residency (I-751)
If you received conditional permanent residence through marriage, you must remove those conditions before your two-year card expires. We help couples file the I-751 petition correctly and on time — and support those filing waivers due to divorce, abuse, or hardship.
If your family-based petition or case has been denied, it may still be possible to appeal or reopen it. We carefully review your case history, identify procedural or factual errors, and advocate for a second chance to achieve the outcome your family deserves.
Motion to Reopen / Reconsider
Family matters most — and we’re here to help you protect it.
Whether you’re starting a petition, waiting for a decision, or facing complications, we’ll walk you through every step with clarity and care.
