What to Know About Bringing Family to the US

Legal Avenues for Family Immigration

Generally, to bring a family to the US, you must file a family-based immigration petition for one of the following visa types:

Immediate relative - Available for close relatives such as spouses, unmarried children under 21, or parents of US citizens. These visas have no annual cap, making them a faster option for eligible applicants.
Family preference - These apply to more distant relatives, including siblings, married children, or the spouses and children of lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders). Family preference visas are subject to annual quotas, which can lead to longer waits.
Fiancé(e) - In some cases, a fiancé(e) visa may be an option for bringing your partner to the US. This type of visa is available for non-US citizens who are engaged to marry a US citizen. To learn more, visit my site's fiancé(e) visa page.

Who Can Sponsor Family Members & What That Means

Sponsorship is a key part of family immigration, especially for visa applications. But who can be a sponsor, and what is required? First, sponsors must be US citizens or lawful permanent residents. Whether you are eligible to sponsor a family member for a visa depends on your status. US citizens can sponsor their spouse, parents, children (regardless of age or marital status), and siblings. Lawful permanent residents can only sponsor their spouses and unmarried children.

Second, as a sponsor, you file immigration paperwork on behalf of your family members. This involves completing various forms, providing evidence of your familial relationship, demonstrating that you are financially stable enough to support your family member, and more.

Sponsoring a family member for a visa is exciting. However, as described above, it comes with many responsibilities and challenges. This is why many people choose to work with an immigration attorney for advice, direction, and support during and after the petition process.

Green Cards, Citizenship, & Family Immigration

Bringing a family member to the US is an important step, but it is only the first of many. What happens after your loved one arrives in the US depends on their immigration status. For example, spouses and unmarried children of US citizens are generally eligible for Green Cards (lawful permanent resident status). In contrast, spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents may have to wait years before they can adjust their status.

Another common goal for families through immigration is eventually becoming naturalized citizens. Citizenship provides many benefits, including the right to vote and greater security in the country. When you work with me as your Dallas family immigration lawyer, I help you understand all possible paths toward citizenship based on your family situation.

The process of moving from a visa to permanent residency or citizenship can involve additional forms, evidence, and interviews, which often means continued contact with agencies like USCIS. For families in Dallas and nearby areas, there may be specific factors in processing times or interview scheduling at local field offices. Planning ahead is important, since every case may involve different timelines and requirements. As a family visa attorney in Dallas, I can clarify each phase of the journey and provide guidance if there are questions or unexpected delays as your family’s application moves through the local system. Support includes understanding eligibility for adjustment of status, removal of conditions, or steps for preparing for the naturalization interview in your community.

If you are planning to bring a family member to the US, you will likely need to make several important decisions throughout the process:

Adapting to eligibility changes due to marriage, divorce, or children aging out
Understanding how travel outside the US can affect permanent residency or naturalization applications
Meeting additional requirements unique to Dallas-area field offices, such as biometrics appointments
Deciding when to apply for citizenship after becoming a permanent resident
Addressing requests for more evidence that may arise at various stages from USCIS
