Family-Based Visa Options
Several family-based visa options help reunite families and secure a future in the U.S. Immigration lawyers possess experience in handling various family immigration cases, including the following visa categories:
Immediate Relative Visas (IR)
These visas cater to immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. These include spouses, unmarried children under 21 years old, and parents of citizens at least 21 years old. There is no annual cap on the issuance of immediate relative visas.
Family Preference Visas (F)
Family preference visas serve more distant family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders). These visas have annual numerical limits and have four categories:
- F1: Single children of U.S. citizens and their minor kids.
- F2: Partners, underage children, and single adult children (aged 21 or above) of lawful permanent residents.
- F3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens and their spouses and minor children
- F4: Siblings of U.S. citizens, along with their husbands, wives, and young kids, as long as the U.S. citizens are 21 years old or older.
K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
With the K-1 visa, the fiancé or fiancée of a U.S. citizen enters the country and gets married within 90 days following their arrival. Then, the spouse from another country can initiate the process of applying for an adjustment of status to obtain lawful permanent residency.
V Visas
The V visa is temporary for spouses and children of lawful permanent residents who have waited at least three years for their immigrant visa to become available. It allows them to live and work in the United States while waiting for their green card.
With all these various family-based visa options in mind, it’s vital that you know which one works best for your situation. An immigration attorney can help you with this by providing legal guidance.
