What is Family-Based Immigration?

Family-based immigration is the process of obtaining legal status in the United States through a family member who is either a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder). This type of immigration allows for eligible individuals to reunite with their immediate family members and gain entry into the U.S. as a non-immigrant or immigrant.

Benefits of Family-Based Immigration

One of the primary benefits of family-based immigration is that it allows families to stay together and build a new life in the United States. It also provides a pathway for individuals to obtain permanent residency, which can lead to citizenship. Additionally, certain family members may be eligible for work authorization while they await their visa or green card.

Understanding Family-Based Immigration

Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor their relatives to live in the United States permanently. The eligibility of family members depends on the immigration status of the sponsor:

• U.S. Citizens: Can petition for spouses, children (under and over 21, married or unmarried), parents, and siblings. They can also apply for fiancé(e) visas and K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrant visas.
• Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders): Can petition for spouses and unmarried children under 21 or any age.
