What is Family-Based Immigration?

Family-based immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to sponsor their family members for a chance to live together in the U.S. It’s all about family reunification—something that strengthens not only individual families but also entire communities.

Types of Family-Based Immigration

There are two main categories for family-based immigration:

Immediate Relatives: This group includes spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens. They have a unique advantage, as there are no limits on the number of visas available for them.
Family Preference Categories: This includes more distant family relationships, such as siblings or married children of U.S. citizens. These petitions do have annual limits, meaning there can be longer wait times.

The Family-Based Immigration Process

The process to bring your loved ones to the U.S. involves a few key steps:

Filing a Petition: As a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you'll begin by filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with USCIS to start the process.
Petition Approval & Visa Availability: Once USCIS approves the petition, it goes to the National Visa Center (NVC). If you’re in the family preference category, your loved one will have to wait until their visa becomes available due to annual limits.
Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status:
- Consular Processing: If your family member is outside the U.S., they’ll apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate in their country.
- Adjustment of Status: If they’re already in the U.S., they may be able to adjust their status to permanent resident without leaving the country.
Medical Exam & Interview: Your family member will need to get a medical exam and attend an interview with a USCIS or consular officer to ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
Approval & Entry: Once approved, they’ll receive their visa or green card, allowing them to legally enter and stay in the U.S.

The Benefits of Family-Based Immigration

Family-based immigration isn’t just a legal process; it has lasting benefits:

Family Reunification: It’s about bringing loved ones together and providing them with the emotional and financial support they need.
Economic Impact: Immigrant families play a key role in contributing to the workforce and strengthening the economy.
Cultural Growth: Immigrant families enrich the American cultural landscape, making it more diverse and vibrant.
