Spouse and Minor Children

The United States wants its citizens to be together with their closest family members, and makes it easier and faster for these “immediate relatives” to get a Green Card. Who is an immediate relative? This group includes a U.S. citizen’s spouse and children, and also includes parents of citizens who are at least twenty-one years old. Unlike other groups of immigrants, there is no limit on how many immediate relatives can be given Green Cards in a year. As long as these immediate relatives are in the U.S. and entered it legally, they can apply to become permanent residents without having to leave the country. This is true even if they are present or working in the U.S. illegally.

General instruction by USCIS

The process will depend on whether the foreign relative of a citizen is currently in the U.S. or not. Either way, the U.S. national has to file a petition (form I-130) with the USCIS in order to show their U.S. citizenship and the nature of relationship to the non-U.S. family member. In addition, applicants who are already in the U.S. may seek to adjust their current status (form I-485) as well as apply for work and travel permits. Otherwise, those outside the U.S. borders will have to apply for an immigrant visa at a local U.S. consulate.

Affidavit of Support

In order for a foreign national’s adjustment of status or immigrant visa applications to be complete, the U.S. citizen has to prove that they are able and willing to support their non-U.S. relative financially for the first 10 years after a Green Card is issued. If the U.S. citizen does not have the required amount of income themselves, they may find an additional sponsor, or offer some sort of property they own.
