Who can apply for a visa under the Family Immigration law?

Whether you’re a Green Card holder or a US citizen, you may be eligible to sponsor certain family members for a Green Card under the Family Immigration law. The specific eligibility criteria are as follows:
Remember, a US citizen can sponsor their spouse, children (married or unmarried), parents, and siblings. On the other hand, Green Card holders can only sponsor their spouse and unmarried children.

What is the basic eligibility to become a sponsor?

Suppose you want to sponsor a family member for a Green Card. In that case, you first need to prove that you have a bona fide and verifiable relationship with the family member and that you have enough financial resources to support the family member if they are in the country.

Which family members can one sponsor?

You can’t sponsor green cards for every relative or family member under the Family Immigration law. As a sponsor based in New Jersey and a US citizen, you can sponsor

• Unmarried Sons & Daughters aged 21 or above under the F1 Family preference Category.
• Married Sons & Daughters under the F2 Family preference category.
• Brothers and Sisters under the F4 Family preference category.
• Spouse under the Immediate relative category.
• Unmarried kids below 21 years of age under the Immediate relative category.
• Parents are considered immediate relatives.

On the other hand, if you are a Green Card holder or a Law Permanent resident based out of Texas, you can sponsor.

• Spouse and unmarried children below the age of 21 under the F2A Family preference category.
• Unmarried sons and daughters aged 21 or above under the F2B Family preference category.

How should you prepare yourself?

Suppose you want to file for a Green Card for a family member under the Family Immigration law, irrespective of your status. In that case, you need to have enough documentation to show there is a bona fide relationship between you and the family member. The basic documents one should be ready with

• For Spouse, a copy of the marriage certificate and, if there are previous marriages, documentary proof of termination.
• For children or sons and daughters, a copy of their birth certificate showing the parent-child relationship, and, in case you have adopted them, the adoption decree.
• For Parents, a copy of your birth certificate showing the parent-child relationship with them.
• For Siblings, your and your siblings’ birth certificates and proof of the common parent’s identity.

Why should you hire a Family Immigration attorney?

Navigating family immigration law and obtaining a Green Card for your family requires in-depth knowledge and continuous practice. Any mistake in filling out the application, answering RFEs, or giving a wrong answer during the Green Card interview can jeopardize your family member’s chances of getting a Green Card. That makes having a family immigration attorney by your side the most essential requirement.
The intricacies of the application process and the long waiting period for a family-based green card make it very complex. Somebody who has done it many, many times and understands the nuances will be able to do it for you in the best possible way, reducing the likelihood of case rejection. Hiring a family immigration firm in Florida with a long legacy of handling complex cases, including those involving immigrants from different nationalities, is apt to ensure success in obtaining a green card for your family.
