US Family & Marriage Visa Categories<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

US family-based immigrant visa categories are divided in two groups: family-based visas that are \u201cimmediately\u201d available for spouses, children under 21, and parents of US citizens, and family-based preference categories for those who are related to Lawful Permanent Residents (\u201cgreen card\u201d holders) and adult children or siblings of US citizens. Those applying under a preference category must wait for a visa number to become available to them which results in a backlog that sometimes results in many years waiting. Although the “immediate” visa category give the impression that it is a quick process to obtain a visa, depending on where the US citizen lives, it could take more than a year to sponsor an immediate family member.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” row_negative_margin=”disable_negative_margin” css=”.vc_custom_1580301673938{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” z_index=”” padding_top=”60″ padding_bottom=”60″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
