FAMILY VISA

Family Based Immigration refers to acquisition of U.S. permanent residency via invitation of immediate relatives (spouse, children, and parents) and siblings sponsored by a citizen or a permanent resident. The types of Family Based Immigration are divided by the family relationship between the immigration status of an inviter (citizen or permanent resident) and an invitee, and the required documentation may differ for each type. The processing time varies from generally the shortest 6 months to the longest 12 years, and the time depends on the immigration type. Family Based Immigration falls into two types: one does not get affected by the quota for a financial year, and the other is limited by the quota.
