D7

D7 is a visa allowing individuals outside the United States who have a spouse or parent in the U.S. holding an active green card (permanent residence) to join or accompany them. It provides legal permission to enter and stay in the U.S. while their family member’s permanent resident status is processed. Essentially, D7 acts as a bridge, enabling family reunification by granting temporary legal status during the immigration process, ensuring the family can stay together legally while waiting for final residence approval.
