Family-Sponsored Immigration

Family-sponsored immigration allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to bring certain family members to live permanently in the United States. This process typically involves filing a petition with the U.S. government to prove the relationship, such as for spouses, children, parents, and siblings. The system is designed to keep families together and can take time due to visa limits and processing times. Eligible relatives may receive an immigrant visa, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. after approval.
