It can be complex, but there might be options. Here’s a quick guide:
-
Immediate Relatives (Spouse, Parents, Unmarried Children under 21):
You (as a US citizen) can petition for them regardless of their immigration status (with some conditions).
-
Other Family (Siblings, Married Children):
More complex – may involve waiting lists and visa availability. Being undocumented might add challenges.
-
Waivers for Unlawful Presence (For Immediate Relatives Only):
If your family member must leave the US for an interview, a waiver might help them return if your absence would cause extreme hardship.
Important Note:
Sponsoring someone undocumented requires careful consideration of their immigration history and potential risks.
