Family Petition
The family-based petition process is a resource available to both citizens and permanent residents to reunite their families who are in other countries and/or lack legal status.
Through this process, the beneficiary can obtain a permanent resident card if they meet all the required criteria. The family-based petition process involves filing an application with U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain approval. Eligibility to file a family-based petition varies depending on the petitioner's immigration status and their relationship to the beneficiary.
The most common family-based petitions include:
1. Spouse Petition: A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident can petition for an immigrant visa for their foreign spouse.
2. Child Petition: A U.S. citizen can petition for an immigrant visa for their unmarried or married children, whether 21 or younger, while lawful permanent residents can do so for their unmarried children, whether 21 or younger.
3. Parent Petition: U.S. citizens can petition for an immigrant visa for their parents.
4. Sibling Petition: U.S. citizens can petition for an immigrant visa for their siblings, provided they are 21 or older.
It is important to note that the family-based petition process can be complex and subject to quotas and waiting times, depending on the family relationship and the immigration status of both the petitioner and the beneficiary.
