“Immediate Relatives” of a U.S. Citizen:

“Immediate Relatives” refers to the parents, spouses and children (who are unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen. Immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen can immigrate to the United States without being subject to any numerical restrictions, unlike other close family members of U.S. citizens and/or permanent residents. Namely, they can apply for the permanent resident status without having to deal with any waiting time:

⦁ For Spouses of U.S. Citizens

⦁ For Unmarried Children under 21 years of age of U.S. Citizens.

⦁ For Parents of U.S. Citizens

Other Close Family Members of a U.S. Citizen:

Other close family members of a U.S. citizen can qualify to immigrate to the United States, but unlike the immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, they are subject to a numerical limit of immigrant visas available to them each year. Close family members are divided into several groups called “Preferences”. The higher the Preference, the quicker the alien will be eligible to receive a green card:

⦁ First preference (F1): Unmarried Children over 21 years of age of U.S. Citizens

⦁ Second preference (F2A & F2B1): Spouses and children, and unmarried sons and daughters of Permanent Residents.

⦁ Third preference (F3): Married Children of U.S. Citizens

⦁ Fourth preference (F4): Brothers or Sisters of U.S. Citizens.

Family Members of Permanent Residents:

Spouses and unmarried children of a permanent resident can also apply for a green card. They are categorized as the “Second Preference” group of people who are eligible for immigration to the United States.

⦁ Second preference (F2A & F2B1): Spouses and children, and unmarried sons and daughters of Permanent Residents.
