Reuniting with your loved ones should never feel like an impossible dream, and at Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC, we are here to make it a reality. Family-based immigration is a vital process that helps bring families together, allowing spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives to live and thrive together in the United States. For many families in Des Plaines, this process represents hope, connection, and the chance to build a brighter future.
Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) to sponsor certain family members for permanent residency. This process is central to fostering strong family bonds and creating stable communities. Whether you’re a spouse longing to reunite with your partner, a parent wanting to bring your child to the U.S., or a sibling hoping to bridge the gap of distance, this legal pathway can help bring families together.
Eligibility for family-based immigration primarily depends on your relationship with the sponsoring individual:
Each category has specific visa types and priority levels, which determine the processing times and availability.
Family-based immigration involves several critical steps. Success requires a thorough understanding of requirements, gathering accurate documentation, and ensuring all applications are completed and submitted correctly. Here’s a basic outline:
Begin the process by filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to prove your qualifying family connection. This step requires strong evidence, such as marriage certificates, birth certificates, or adoption papers.
Additional documents, like proof of financial sponsorship, police records, and valid travel documents, may also be required to ensure eligibility.
Depending on the relative’s location, they may pursue Consular Processing from outside the U.S. or Adjustment of Status if they are already in the country.
Some cases may involve complications like inadmissibility issues. If waivers are necessary, it’s important to complete the proper applications with supporting evidence.
The final step involves the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or a consulate abroad issuing the green card or visa upon approval.

I had the pleasure of working with Marta Delgado for my immigration petition. From the moment I met with Marta, I felt confident she was the attorney I was looking for after many years of waiting. I was so nervous going into this process, but Marta walked me through the details more than once, giving me so much peace about it all. The process was seamless, and their turnaround time was QUICK! My whole case was started and closed within 10 months. I will always be grateful for their expertise and kindness along the way.
What a wonderful experience I had with Elizabeth and her team. Her professionalism made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process we went through. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!
DRB helped us with securing a work visa for one of our staff members, communicated well, and helped explain the process.
I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully. It has been only your diligence and professionalism in the work which guided my case to success. I am very fortunate to have you as an attorney. With other attorneys I've experienced ones who only took my money and promised to help me or never called me back. You're helping a lot of people with your honesty and great quality of work. I can't thank you enough. Yay, I am an American Citizen!
Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and were very honest with us about any possible issues we could have. I would highly recommend her and her team.
I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She was always available when I wanted to talk to her and provided the updates in my case as soon as she had one. I also noticed a different level of knowledge and expertise in comparison to the other 3 lawyers....
Marta was the most professional, accurate and caring lawyer I’ve encountered in the 6 years I’ve been living in the US, her work ethics are unmatched and without doubt was the best decision for my process. I recommend her to anyone that needs help, you will feel listened and she is incredible when it comes to explaining this procedures in a simple and straight forward manner. She will be my first option again when the time comes in the future.
Elizabeth has been my immigration attorney on multiple cases. She handled my 3 different cases over past 7 years including the recent immigration case that got approval last month. Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the status of my case. She is very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
