Bringing Families TogetherFor many families, immigration is about something simple: being able to build a life together in the United States.U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may petition for certain family members to become permanent residents. U.S. citizens have the broadest family sponsorship options and may petition for spouses, children, adult sons and daughters, parents, and—in certain circumstances—brothers and sisters. Permanent residents may petition for spouses and unmarried children or sons and daughters.

Some relatives of U.S. citizens are considered immediate relatives and are not subject to the annual numerical limits that apply to family preference categories. Other relatives may need to wait until an immigrant visa becomes available based on their family relationship, priority date, and applicable visa category.The process may involve adjustment of status from within the United States or consular processing through a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Determining the right path requires looking carefully at your family relationship, immigration history, current status, and long-term goals.
