Married a US citizen? We can help with getting you a green card.Family-based immigration law governs the procedure by which citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United States sponsor members of their family to immigrate to the country. Read more about family-based immigration law.

This law, which is primarily based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), allows qualifying relatives—spouses, unmarried children of legal permanent residents, parents, siblings, and children of U.S. citizens—to file family-sponsored immigration applications. Read more about the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Family-sponsored immigrants' immigration status and the nature of their relationship with the sponsor determine their priority level and privileges. Sponsors must provide an affidavit of support as evidence of their financial backing. Typically, to apply, a petition must be filed with USCIS, along with any necessary supporting documentation and in-person interviews. For additional information on affidavits of support, go to the USCIS website. Family-based immigration enables US citizens and legal permanent residents (LPRs) to sponsor certain relatives for a green card, granting them permanent residency in the United States. The visas for family-based immigration are separated into two categories. 

Immediate Relative (IR) Visas: 

These visas are for close relatives of US citizens and have no numerical limitations.
IR-1: Spouse of a United States citizen.
IR-2: An unmarried child (under 21) of a United States citizen.
IR-3: An orphan adopted overseas by a United States citizen.
IR-4: An orphan who will be adopted in the United States by a citizen.
IR-5: Parent of a US citizen aged 21 or older.
Family preference visas:
These visas are for distant relatives of US citizens and LPRs, with yearly numerical restrictions.
F1: Unmarried sons and daughters (21 and older) of United States citizens.
F2A: LPRs' spouses and unmarried children (under the age of 21).
F2B: unmarried sons and daughters (21 and older) of LPRs.
F3: married sons and daughters of US citizens.
F4: Brothers and sisters of US citizens (at least 21 years old).
These categories facilitate family reunification by offering a legal method to bring loved ones to the United States as permanent residents. 

Wait times vary widely for family-based visas due to backlogs and visa quotas. Waivers might occasionally be available, but issues with admissibility can also arise. Upon approval of a visa, beneficiaries can choose to proceed with consular procedures or modify their status. More information on the changes is here.

In order to manage family-based immigration effectively, one needs to gain a comprehensive grasp of these crucial elements.
