Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?

Two kinds of familial relationships qualify for applications: U.S. citizens’ immediate loved ones, and a broader group, dubbed “preference relatives.” According to immigration law, immediate loved ones include the U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried minor children, and parents, as long as the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old. Preference relatives is a more intricate category, comprising four tiers. The highest preference is given to U.S. citizens’ adult unmarried children, trailed by lawful permanent residents’ spouses and unmarried children. The third tier goes to U.S. citizens’ married children, followed by U.S. citizens’ siblings if the U.S. citizen is 21 years or older. Fiancés of U.S. citizens can apply for a distinctive visa (link to fiancé visa page) and share a similar status as immediate relatives, given their wedding is conducted within 90 days of arrival. To facilitate efficiency within this process, it's beneficial to have someone like Ruben Espinoza in your corner. Ruben Espinoza can ensure every step is handled correctly.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?

Immediate family members may request a visa without delay, whereas preference relatives typically endure a wait due to U.S. immigration visa limits per country. Therefore, it is critically important for your preference relatives to submit their petitions as swiftly as possible. USCIS manages these in the sequence your relatives apply. In regions where a surplus of individuals are petitioning for immigrant visas to the U.S., the wait can be significantly lengthy, frequently extending into several years before entry into the U.S. is possible. Ruben Espinoza, an immigration law attorney in California, can initiate the process and guide you. Contact Ruben Espinoza as soon as possible.
