US Family Based Green Card Visa

US Family Based Green Card Visa

The family classifications visa includes:

Relatives of US Citizens

Immediate Relative – the Immediate Relative class is regarded as a high priority classification and hence the US government has not imposed any annual number ceiling on this category and the family members of applicants can obtain permanent resident Green Card rapidly. Family members regarded as immediate relative includes following relations:

  • Spouse
  • Unmarried and dependent children under 21 years of age
  • Parents (if the US citizen is above 21 year of age)
Family Preference

The family preference class includes those members not included in the immediate relative class, i.e. the relatives in question are those family members of US citizens not defined in the immediate classification. In this category, the relations include following people

  • Unmarried sons or daughters aged over 21years
  • Married children of any age
  • Brothers and sisters (incase the U.S. citizen is aged over 21 years)

Congress has limited the number of relatives who may immigrate under these categories each year so there is usually a waiting period before an immigrant visa number becomes available.

Relatives of Green Card Holders (2nd Preference Class)

The category of eligible family members includes relative classifications of both Immediate and Family Preference class.

Request Petition for Immediate Relative Class

There is a slight difference in requests placement process (petitioning) for people already in the US and those outside the US.

Applications Process
  • Filing process for Immediate Class
  • Single phased process

If the applicants are already in US on some other entry arrangements and visa transition is permitted under that specific arrangement, the applicants can straightaway file I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) to obtain a permanent residential status at the same time when the US national is placing an I-130.

  • Two phased process
    • First Phase -The process starts with US national (Immediate Relative) placing I-130 for approval.
    • Second Phase - applicants can submit I-485 whenever convenient after the submission of I-130 by sponsoring US National and receipt of I-797 (Notice of Action/sanction notice). However, it is very important to keep in mind that I-130 should not have been rejected. The process usually requires submission of I-130 acknowledgements or I-797 (Notice of Action/sanction notice) along with I-485 indicating that I-130 is under review or has been sanctioned.
