Immediate Relative Visas (IR1, CR1, IR2, CR2, IR3, IR4, IR5)
Immediate Relative Visas are family-based immigration options allowing U.S. citizens to bring relatives to live in the U.S. The IR1 visa is for spouses, while the CR1 is for spouses married less than two years. The IR2 visa is for unmarried children under 21, and the CR2 is for children of CR1 visa holders. The IR3 visa is for orphaned children adopted from abroad, and the IR4 visa is for orphans with a pending adoption. The IR5 visa is for parents of U.S. citizens. These visas prioritize family reunification without annual caps.
