If you are a U.S. citizen over the age of 21, you can petition for the following immediate relatives:
You can also petition for the following family members, but they are not considered immediate family members. Therefore the wait time for a green card is much longer:
Lawful permanent residents (green card holders) may sponsor:
K-1 Visa “Fiancé Visa”:
A Sponsor’s financial responsibility for a Beneficiary is serious business – entering into an affidavit of support binds the Sponsor to pay any potential future government assistance received by their charge. This commitment remains in force until either US citizenship has been achieved or 40 qualifying quarters of employment (the equivalent of roughly ten years) have passed within American borders.
If you’re unable to support your visa application financially, a joint sponsor can become an invaluable ally. This kind of backup could be someone from your family or even a friend who agrees to take on the same financial obligations that would normally fall onto you in case government aid is needed for your wife’s expenses down the line.
If you and your spouse were married less than two years prior to the interview, a special 2-year Conditional Green Card can be issued. Within 90 days of it’s expiration date though, an additional petition must be submitted if you wish to obtain the standard 10-year permanent card!
If your adult child is a U.S. citizen, he or she may be able to help you obtain lawful permanent residency (green card). Before making any decisions about the process, it’s important to review all of your options with an experienced immigration lawyer so that every potential issue can be addressed and taken into consideration.
Yes, If you are married to the mother of your stepchild prior to their 18th birthday, then you can file for a green card on their behalf.
A successful marriage-based immigration case is built on a strong foundation. U.S. immigration officers have to review your paperwork, and rely mainly on what you tell them during the interview – so it’s important for couples to be able to demonstrate cohabitation as well as financial entanglement in order satisfy all criteria needed for success!
