Green Card for Family in US?

Thinking of sponsoring a family member for a green card, but they're already in the US with a visa? You might still have options!

Here's a quick guide:

  • Immediate Family (Spouse, Parents, Young Children): As a U.S. citizen, you can sponsor them directly for a green card (no waiting for visas!).

  • Other Family (Siblings, Married Children): You can sponsor them, but there might be a wait for a visa to become available.

  • Employment-Based Green Card: If they have a qualifying job offer, they might be able to adjust their status through work.

  • Asylum/Refugee Status: After meeting specific requirements, they may be eligible to apply for a green card.

  • Special Cases (Fiancé(e) Visa, U Visa): Depending on the visa and situation, there might be adjustment of status options.
