Overview

U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can apply on behalf of their foreign relatives for green cards. The process, and the time it takes to get your relative a visa to live in the U.S. depends on your immigration status, how closely you are related, their age, and where the foreign relative is from.

Some times people have to wait for many years, before they get their visa. Some cases take over a decade or more, while others take less than a year. In other cases the waiting times are much shorter. We have provided information on this website regarding family based immigration to the U.S., so please explore the site to see if family based immigration is right for your situation.
