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

Warner Law in New Jersey navigates through two types of family-based visa categories: immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and a broader group referred to as “preference relatives.” Under the purview of immigration law, immediate relatives encompass the U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried minor children, and parents, provided the U.S. citizen is 21 years old or older. Delineating the qualifications for preference relatives is more intricate and comprises four tiers. Top priority is given to U.S. citizens’ adult unmarried children, with the subsequent place going to lawful permanent residents’ spouses and unmarried children. The third category belongs to U.S. citizens’ married children, and the last to U.S. citizens’ siblings, provided the U.S. citizen has reached the minimum age of 21. Fiancés of U.S. citizens, nonetheless, qualify for a unique visa (link to fiancé visa page) and share a similar status as immediate relatives, as long as they get married within 90 days of their arrival. To expedite the process, engaging a legal team like Warner Law capable of ensuring that everything is in order can be immensely beneficial. Schedule your consultation today.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?

Immediate family members can submit a visa application without delay, while preference relatives typically face a waiting period due to U.S. immigration visa distribution restrictions. The importance of your preference relatives filing their applications promptly cannot be overstated, as the USCIS handles these submissions in the order they are received. In countries with a high volume of U.S. immigrant visa applicants, the waiting period can be considerable, even spanning several years before entry into the U.S. becomes possible.
