Frequently Asked Questions
What is family immigration?
Family immigration is the process by which a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident petitions for a qualifying family member to obtain a green card and immigrate to the United States.
Who may qualify as a family member?
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, such as spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents, may qualify without an annual limit. Other relatives, such as siblings and adult children, may qualify under a family preference category, though wait times vary.
How long does the family immigration process take?
Processing times vary widely depending on the relationship category and whether the family member is applying from inside or outside the United States. Immediate relative petitions are typically processed faster than preference category petitions.
Can my fiance come to the United States before we marry?
Yes. A U.S. citizen may petition for a K-1 fiancé visa, which allows a foreign fiancé to enter the United States to marry within 90 days of arrival.
What happens during my interview?
A USCIS or consular officer will review your petition, ask questions about your relationship and supporting evidence, and determine whether to approve the green card.
How can an immigration attorney help?
An experienced attorney can evaluate your eligibility, prepare your Form I-130 petition, organize supporting evidence, prepare you for your interview, and guide you throughout the entire family immigration process to help present the strongest case possible.
