What Relatives Can a U.S. Citizen Sponsor?

If you have immigrated from another country, obtained United States citizenship, and now wish to do the same for your family members, our firm is here to help. It is important to remember that the process may be different for them because of your permanent legal status in the country. Under special circumstances, United States citizens are able to petition for the permanent residency of their family members and initiate the process for their citizenship.

Family members eligible for such petitions include:

• Spouses
• Parents
• Children
• Siblings

Depending on the nature of the familial relationship, there are several types of family visas available to begin this process. Immediate relatives eligible for these visas include children who are under the age of 21, parents, and spouses.
