If you're a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may be able to help certain family members come to the United States and gain permanent residency. This process typically involves applying for a family-based immigrant visa, which requires careful attention to documentation and eligibility requirements.

Which Family Members Are Eligible to Apply for a Green Card?
Two types of family members may qualify for immigration to the U.S.: immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and a broader group known as “preference relatives.”
Under immigration law, immediate relatives include a U.S. citizen’s spouse, unmarried children under 21, and parents—if the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old. Preference relatives fall into four categories. First preference is given to adult unmarried children of U.S. citizens. Next are the spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents. Third are the married children of U.S. citizens, and finally, siblings of U.S. citizens—again, only if the U.S. citizen is at least 21.
Fiancés of U.S. citizens don’t fall under these categories, but they may qualify for a special fiancé visa. This allows them to come to the U.S. on the condition that the marriage takes place within 90 days of arrival. Since each category has its own rules, timelines, and documentation, having someone guide you through the process can help avoid unnecessary delays. Troy Gayle offers immigration services from his office in Sebring, Florida, and works directly with clients to help bring family members to the U.S. Set up your appointment today to get started.
How Long Will My Family Members Need to Wait?
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens can apply for immigrant visas without having to wait for one to become available. However, preference relatives usually face a wait, as the number of visas issued each year is limited by both category and country. That makes timing especially important—preference petitions are processed based on the date they are filed, and in countries with high demand, the wait can stretch into many years.
If you have family members who qualify under one of the preference categories, it’s important to start the process as soon as possible. Troy Gayle, an immigration attorney in Sebring, Florida, helps clients navigate the steps and submit petitions correctly so they don’t lose valuable time.
