Family-Based Green Card

What Is a Family Based Green Card?

A family-based green card allows a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to sponsor eligible family members for permanent residency in the U.S. To do this, you need to file an immigrant petition and follow the guidelines established by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The process for obtaining a green card includes filing an immigration petition, Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative). You will also need to prove the family relationship here.

For some green card categories, you will need to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available.

There are two main categories of family-based immigration:

1.) Immediate Relative Green Cards

This type of immigration visa is for spouses, unmarried children 21 years of age or younger, and parents of U.S. citizens.

These visas are not subject to annual caps.

2.) Family Preference Green Cards

This type of immigration visa is for unmarried sons and daughters, married children, and siblings of U.S. citizens. Spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents can also apply for these visas.

These categories have annual limits, so your family may need to wait until a visa becomes available.

Questions About Family-Based Immigration Process

You may be wondering how family-based immigration and family green cards work. When you partner with Coleman Law Group, we work alongside you from start to finish. This is what the process will look like:

1. Filing the Immigrant Petition

Your family member must file Form I-130 with USCIS. This establishes a qualifying family relationship.

2. Waiting for Visa Number Availability

Family members applying for an immediate relative green card do not have a wait time.

Those applying through preference categories must wait for their priority date in the Visa Bulletin. We would like to help you understand this and what actions you need to take at that time.

3. Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status

If your family member is abroad, they will complete consular processing. If they are in the U.S. they can apply for adjustment of status with Form I-485.

4. Receiving the Green Card

Once approved, your family member will obtain their green card. Now, they can live and work legally in the U.S.
