In the contemporary landscape, the expansion of international borders are constant, which initiates a decisive impact on the lives of individuals and socio-cultural contexts, especially in the family relational universe. Thus, the objective is to review scientific literature that addresses the relationship between the migratory process and family dynamics of immigrants.

From the understanding of the production of scientific papers, theses and dissertations. The methodological and semantic aspects were divided into five categories of analysis. The results point to gaps at the related scientific production strictly to the migration issue and family dynamics, now highlight the process of cultural adaptation that families experience when immigrating. It discusses the emphasis on psychosocial dimensions that guide the life cycle of the family from the migration process
