Overview
If you have US Citizen Family Members or US Green Card Holder Family Members, you can get a Green Card (Permanent Residence) as one of the following Family Members:
Fiance
Spouse
Child
Parent
Sibling
Fiance(e)
The U.S. fiancé(e) visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the U.S. to marry within 90 days. After marriage, the foreign spouse can apply for a green card. The process requires proof of a real relationship and meeting financial and eligibility requirements.
Spouse
The U.S. spouse visa allows a U.S. citizen or green card holder to sponsor their foreign spouse for permanent residency. The process involves proving a genuine marriage, and meeting financial requirements. Spouses may apply from abroad or adjust status if already in the U.S. after approval.
Child
A U.S. citizen or green card holder can sponsor their foreign-born child for a green card. Children under 21 and unmarried qualify as immediate relatives, allowing faster processing. The process involves proving the parent-child relationship, meeting financial requirements, and either consular processing abroad or adjusting status in the U.S.
Parent
U.S. citizens aged 21 or older can sponsor their foreign-born parents for a green card as immediate relatives. There’s no annual cap, so processing is typically faster. The process includes proving the relationship, meeting financial requirements, and either consular processing or adjustment of status in the U.S.
Sibling
U.S. citizens aged 21 or older can sponsor their foreign-born siblings for a green card under the family preference category. This category has annual limits, leading to longer wait times. The process includes proving the sibling relationship, and completing consular processing once a visa becomes available.
US Domicile
There are a lot of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who live outside the United States on a temporary basis. While there is no time limit on how much time you can live abroad before you can no longer claim domicile in the United States, you may need to show that you still have ties with the United States and that you intend to come back after a limited, not indefinite, amount of time.
Financial Support Requirement
The Petitioner will need to show they are currently earning taxable income and can afford the Beneficiary’s move to the US. If the petitioner does not earn the required income, or has not lived in the US for a while, they will need to enlist a co-sponsor for this purpose.
