Family Immigration FAQ
Who can I petition for as a US citizen?
US citizens can petition for spouses, unmarried children (any age), married children, parents (if you're 21+), and siblings. Each category has different waiting times.
What's the difference between immediate relatives and family preference categories?
Immediate relatives (spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of US citizens) have no numerical limits. Family preference categories have annual limits and longer waiting times.
How long does the family petition process take?
Processing times vary by relationship and country of birth. Immediate relatives typically take 8-15 months, while preference categories can take several years.
Can my family member work while the petition is pending?
Work authorization depends on their current status. We can help determine if they're eligible for work permits during the process.
