How Can I Bring My Family Members To The United States?
If you are a United States citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you may have the ability to bring eligible family members to the U.S. by submitting a family-based immigration petition on their behalf. This vital process enables your loved ones to apply for a family-based immigrant visa, which could ultimately lead to them becoming lawful permanent residents as well.

Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?
Two main categories of family members may be eligible for family-based immigration: immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and a broader group known as preference relatives. Under immigration law, immediate relatives include a U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried minor children, and parents—provided the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old.
Preference relatives fall into four levels, each with its own requirements. The first preference includes adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens, followed by the spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents. The third category is reserved for the married children of U.S. citizens, and the fourth is for U.S. citizens’ siblings, as long as the sponsoring citizen is at least 21 years old. Fiancés of U.S. citizens have a unique option through the K-1 fiancé visa, which allows them to enter the country with the understanding that the marriage will take place within 90 days of arrival.
Because these categories involve different rules, timelines, and documentation, working with an immigration attorney can help ensure each step is completed accurately.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens can apply for their visas without being placed on a waiting list, but preference relatives often face delays because the number of available immigrant visas is limited each year. For this reason, it is important for preference relatives to file their petitions as early as possible. USCIS processes these cases based on the filing date, and in countries with high demand, the wait can be very long—sometimes lasting several years before a visa becomes available.
