<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Applying for a green card with the help of family is the most popular way to obtain permanent residency status in the U.S. If one of your relatives is a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you could be eligible for this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Can Sponsor You?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. citizens can sponsor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spouses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children (unmarried and under 21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents (if the sponsor is 21 or older)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siblings (if the sponsor is 21 or older)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green card holders can sponsor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spouses<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unmarried children (any age)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

File Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your sponsor has to file a petition with USCIS to prove your connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Wait for Visa Availability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t an immediate relative, you must be patient until the date on the Visa Bulletin matches your priority date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Choose Your Process Type<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you happen to be in the United States, you should use the Adjustment of Status procedure (with Form I-485).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not in the U.S., Consular Processing takes place at your nearest U.S. embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Submit Required Documents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These items are proof of your relationship, documents showing your identity, an affidavit of support (Form I-864), and a medical examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Attend the Interview<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your sponsor and you could be scheduled for an interview. Be ready to give real, consistent answers and more proof if the question arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Receive Your Green Card<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your application is approved, you\u2019ll get your green card by mail if in the U.S. or upon entering the U.S. with your immigrant visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
