Family-based immigration refers to the process where a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident sponsors a close relative for an immigrant visa. As a US citizen, you have the option to petition for your spouse, child, parent, or sibling. However, if you hold a green card, you can only file a petition for your spouse or child.
Our team at Impact Immigration is here to provide you with expert guidance and consultation, ensuring that you navigate this process smoothly and keep your loved ones together.

When applying for a green card through family sponsorship, the relationship between the petitioner and sponsor can affect the priority of the application. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has two categories for family-based immigration: immediate relatives and family preference. Family members are classified into one of these categories.
Immediate family members receive priority in immigration processing as there are an unlimited number of visas allocated to this category. Those who are classified as immediate relatives are:
The family preference categories encompass all other eligible family members who seek to obtain a family-based green card. These individuals do not fall under the immediate relative category and as a result, the number of visas allocated to them is limited. This limitation often leads to a prolonged waiting period for those seeking a family preference green card.
