Family Immigration Lawyers for Green Cards in Morris, AL

A Green Card for Family Preference Immigrants allows certain relatives of people who are either U.S. citizens or permanent residents to become permanent residents of Morris, AL, and the entire United States. For those who are U.S. citizens, family members that can come to the U.S. with this green card include spouses, children and  siblings (if the citizen is 21 years or older). If someone is a lawful permanent resident, the relatives eligible for this green card include unmarried children no matter what age, and spouses.

Permanent residency cards based on family preference are different in application from immediate family member green cards, which are meant for parents, spouses, and minor children of U.S. citizens. Your Morris, AL family green card lawyer can help your family decide the right green card category to pursue, helping your family to reconnect and create and grow your lives together in the United States.

How Do Family-Preference Green Cards Work in Morris, AL?

To start, the family member in Morris, AL who is a US citizen or permanent resident must file Form I-130, which is the Petition for Alien Relative. The form demonstrates the connection necessary for the sponsorship. As soon as that form is approved, the family member who is out of the country must wait for visas to become accessible based on the date they apply and the annual visa quotas authorized by Congress. If the relative is legally in the U.S. already, they can request for their immigration status to be adjusted by filing forms including I-485.

Each category of eligible relative has a defined preference categorization, which all have individual annual caps. As an example, F1, or First Preference, is for over 21-year-old, unmarried children of U.S. citizens. F1 is allocated only 23,400 of 226,000 family preference green cards each year. Often, Morris, AL applicants have to wait for years or in many instances, decades for family preference green cards to open up.
