You can sponsor your spouse, children, parents, and siblings for a green card. Immediate relatives, such as spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens, have priority and typically face shorter wait times. Extended family members fall under family preference categories and may experience longer processing times due to annual visa caps.
The processing time for a family-based green card varies depending on the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary. Immediate relatives can expect processing times ranging from 12 to 18 months. Family preference categories can take several years, depending on visa availability and the applicant's home country.
To sponsor a family member, you must be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). You must also demonstrate sufficient income to support your family member(s) by submitting an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). Additionally, the sponsored family member must meet all eligibility requirements, including passing medical and background checks.
Yes, you can sponsor your fiancé(e) for a K-1 visa, which allows them to enter the U.S. to get married within 90 days. After the marriage, they can apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident. The K-1 visa process includes submitting a Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) (Form I-129F) and meeting specific eligibility requirements.
If your family member's visa application is denied, it's crucial to understand the reason for the denial, which will be outlined in the decision notice. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to address the issues and reapply, file an appeal, or submit a motion to reopen or reconsider the case. Consulting with an experienced immigration attorney can help determine the best course of action.
You can check the status of your family member's visa or green card application online through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website using the receipt number provided when the application was filed. For consular processing, you can check the status on the U.S. Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website.
