To promote family unity, U.S. immigration law allows U.S. citizens to petition for a spouse, child or parent to come and live permanently in the United States. Also a brother or a sister.
Who is eligible?
A U.S. citizen can file a petition for the following “immediate relatives,” as defined by immigration law:
Children, unmarried and under age 21;
Parents, if the petitioner is age 21 or over; and
Spouse
Immediate relatives have special immigration priority and do not have to wait in line for a visa number to become available for them to immigrate because there are an unlimited number of visas for their particular categories.
For other qualified relatives that a U.S. citizen may petition, they have to wait for a visa to becomw available.
