Family-based immigration is one of the primary ways individuals immigrate to the United States. Certain family members of U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) may qualify for a visa that leads to permanent residency (Green Card) and potentially citizenship. Immediate family members, such as spouses, minor children, and parents of U.S. citizens or LPRs, always have visas available to them.

Other relatives of U.S. citizens or LPRs may also qualify for a family-based immigration visa under the family preference category. However, these family members, which include married/unmarried adult children and siblings, may need to wait for a visa to become available.
