How Can I Bring My Family Members To The United States?

If you're a citizen of the United States or hold a green card, which designates you as a lawful permanent resident, it is indeed possible to bring eligible family members to live in the U.S. permanently. To facilitate this process, your loved ones will need to apply for a family-based immigrant visa, which will enable them to attain lawful permanent resident status themselves.

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

Anny Leon, a seasoned Immigration Law practitioner in Florida, is here to guide you through the nuances of your immigration status. Whether you're an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or fall into the category of "preference relatives", she's skilled in navigating these complex circumstances. Immediate relatives, as per immigration law, include the U.S. citizen's spouse, unmarried minor children and parents, given the U.S. citizen is 21 years old or older. Preference relatives have a more intricate set of qualifications and consist of four levels.


The highest preference is given to adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens, followed by lawful permanent residents' spouses and unmarried children. Up next, married children of U.S. citizens, followed by U.S. citizens’ siblings, if the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old. If you're engaged to a U.S. citizen, you're eligible for a unique visa provided the wedding takes place within 90 days of arrival. Speeding up the process is key, and having Anny Leon on your side will ensure everything is seamless. Contact Anny Leon to schedule an appointment today.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?

Immediate relatives have the opportunity to apply for a visa without a delay, while preference relatives generally need to endure a waiting period due to the U.S.'s immigration policy limiting the number of visas per country. It's extremely crucial for your preference relatives to submit their petitions promptly as the USCIS operates on a first-come, first-served basis. In regions with a high volume of visa applicants, the wait can be highly extensive, reaching into several years before U.S. entry is granted. At this point, Anny Leon, your trusted attorney in Florida, comes in. Anny Leon can facilitate the process and help you navigate these complexities. Don't hesitate to reach out to Anny Leon today.
