Family-Based Immigration

Historically, family reunification has been the principal policy underpinning U.S. immigration law.Family-based immigration, a tightly regulated system, allows for close relatives of U.S. Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) to rejoin their families here in America.
Family-based immigrants are admitted to the U.S. either as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or through the family preference system.
Immediate Relatives are:

• Spouses of U.S. citizens;
• Unmarried minor children of U.S. citizens; and
• Parents of U.S. citizens.

There is no cap on the number of visas available each year for immediate relatives. The Family Preference System allows into the U.S.:• Adult children (unmarried and married) and brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens; and
Spouses and unmarried children (minor and adult) of LPRs. There are a limited number of visas available every year under the Family Preference system. Under current immigration law, visas are allocated as follows:
