How Can I Bring My Family Members To The United States?
If you are a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you may have the opportunity to bring certain family members to the United States through a family-based immigration process. This process typically involves applying for an immigrant visa, which allows your relative to eventually become a lawful permanent resident, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of life in the U.S. alongside you.

Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?
Certain family members may qualify to immigrate to the United States through family-based petitions. These generally fall into two categories: immediate relatives and preference categories.
Immediate relatives include a U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried children under 21, and parents (if the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old). These cases are often processed more directly because they are not subject to annual visa limits.
Preference categories apply to other qualifying relatives and are divided into levels. These may include adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens, spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents, married children of U.S. citizens, and siblings of U.S. citizens (when the petitioner is at least 21). These categories are subject to visa availability, which can affect processing times.
Fiancés of U.S. citizens may also be eligible for a fiancé visa, which allows entry into the United States with the expectation that the marriage will take place within 90 days.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, which typically include spouses, children, and parents, are generally not subject to annual visa limits. This means that their applications can progress without being hindered by the same type of waiting period that affects other categories. On the other hand, preference categories are indeed subject to numerical limits, and applicants in these categories are processed based on priority dates—the specific date when the petition is filed.
Due to these numerical limits, the wait times for preference relatives can vary significantly and may be considerably longer, particularly for individuals hailing from countries with high demand for visas. Because of this variability, it can be critical for individuals seeking visas in these categories to file their applications as early as possible, as this proactive approach can be an important step in expediting the overall process and potentially reducing delays.
