Family Sponsorship — Frequently Asked Questions
Who can I sponsor as a U.S. citizen? +
U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, unmarried children under 21, married children of any age, adult unmarried children, siblings, and parents. Spouses, parents, and minor children are considered immediate relatives and face no annual visa caps.
Who can I sponsor as a permanent resident (green card holder)? +
Permanent residents can sponsor spouses and unmarried children. These fall under family preference categories subject to annual limits and waiting periods that vary by country of birth.
How long does family sponsorship take? +
Immediate relative petitions (spouses, parents, minor children of citizens) move fastest. Other family preference categories can have waiting periods of several years depending on the category and the beneficiary’s country of birth.
What is the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing? +
Adjustment of status is completed inside the U.S. at a USCIS office. Consular processing is completed at a U.S. embassy or consulate in the beneficiary’s home country. The appropriate process depends on where your relative currently resides.
