Family-based Immigration

 

Family-Based Immigration

Certain family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents can apply for a family-based visa, which includes:

  • Immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, like spouses, widows or widowers, unmarried children under 21, adopted children, and parents (immediate relative visas)
  • Extended family members of a U.S. citizen, including unmarried children aged 21 or over, married children, and siblings (family preference visa)
  • Immediate relatives of a U.S. permanent resident, including spouses and unmarried children (family preference visa)

Visa applications for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are prioritized, and there's no limit to the number of visas issued each year in this category. 

The number of family preference visas is capped each year, resulting in long wait lists.
