Family-Based Immigration in the United States

The United States grants lawful permanent residency, also known as a green card, to several different types of individuals. These include:

• Family-based immigrants: These individuals receive a green card based on their relationship with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative in the United States.
• Employment-based immigrants: These individuals receive a green card based on their employment in the United States.
• Diversity immigrants: These individuals receive a green card based on their country of origin and are selected through a random drawing.

There are many types of family-based immigrants. Some of the most common include:

• Family-based immigrants can include immediate relatives such as spouses, children, and parents. A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident can sponsor their immediate relatives for a green card.
• Family-based immigrants can also include other relatives such as aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident can sponsor their relatives for a green card if they have an existing family relationship. If the sponsoring relative is a lawful permanent resident, they will need to wait until they become a U.S. citizen before they can sponsor their relatives.

The United States limits the number of green cards that are issued in each category. Therefore, it is important to start the process as soon as possible to increase your chances of being selected.
