Family Immigration
Permanent immigration to the U.S. comes with a variety of rights and privileges. One method to obtain lawful permanent residency is through a relative who is either a citizen of the US or a lawful permanent resident. If you want to immigrate to the U.S. through the family-based category, your relative who is either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident must sponsor you.
Within the family-based categories, foreign nationals eligible to seek lawful permanent residence include:
- children (under 21), spouses and parents of US citizens
- unmarried sons and daughters (over 21) of US citizens
- spouses, children and unmarried sons and daughters of lawful permanent residents
- married sons and daughters of US citizens
- siblings of adult US citizens
