Continuing on our series of blog about US immigration laws, todays blog focus is on immigration options and path to US residency.
Our last post was fun fact about green card. So what are the pathways for a person to get green card? One of the option is family based immigration whereby, whereby a US citizen or resident can petition for family members.
There are main 6 categories of family based immigration:
Immediate relative (spouse, children under 21 years old, and parents) of US citizen. US citizen must be 21 years old to sponsor parents
Unmarried sons and daughter 21 years old or more of US citizen
Spouse and minor children under 21 of lawful permanent residents
Unmarried sons and daughters 21 years old of more of permanent residents
Married sons and daughters of US citizens
Brothers and sister of US citizens
