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

There are two types of family members who are eligible to apply for certain statuses: immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and a broader category, called “preference relatives.” Immediate relatives are defined as the U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried minor children, and parents, provided the U.S. citizen is 21 years old or older, according to immigration law. Preference relatives, however, have a slightly more complex set of qualifications, divided into four levels. The highest preference is given to adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens, followed by lawful permanent residents’ spouses and unmarried children. The third preference category includes married children of U.S. citizens, and the last category covers siblings of U.S. citizens, with the condition being the U.S. citizen must be at least 21 years old. Fiancés of U.S. citizens are eligible for a special visa (link to fiancé visa page) and are essentially considered as immediate relatives, provided that their wedding takes place within 90 days of their arrival to the U.S. To streamline this sometimes complicated process, it's beneficial to have assistance from a knowledgeable individual like Jay Mukerji, a well-established immigration attorney based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is not only equipped with a deep understanding of this field but can also ensure that your paperwork is processed accurately and promptly. Set up your appointment with Jay Mukerji today.

How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?

Immediate family members may seek a visa without delay, whereas preference relatives frequently face a waiting period due to the U.S. imposing a limit on the number of immigrant visas for each country. The promptness with which your preference relatives submit their petitions is crucial as the USCIS processes these based on the filing date. The waiting period in countries with high volumes of applicants for immigrant visas to the U.S. can be extremely long, often taking several years before entry to the U.S. is possible. In such circumstances, Jay Mukerji in Michigan can help kick-start the process. Being an accomplished immigration attorney based in Ann Arbor, he can provide the necessary assistance to navigate through the complexities of the immigration process.
