Family Preference Immigrant Visas (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4)

Family Preference Immigrant Visas are for family-based immigration in the United States, allowing U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor relatives. The categories include F1 for unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens, F2A for spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents, F2B for unmarried adult children of lawful permanent residents, F3 for married children of U.S. citizens, and F4 for siblings of U.S. citizens. Each category has specific eligibility requirements and limited annual visa availability, which can affect waiting times for applicants seeking to reunite with family members in the U.S.
