Family Immigration Requirements

In order to immigrate to the United States as a family member, the immigrant must be related, married, or engaged to be married to a United States citizen or a green card holder. This citizenship can be by birth or by naturalization. 

Relatives who qualify for family immigration include:

• Spouses
• Children
• Parents
• Siblings
• Fiancés

The process of applying for a family visa requires the citizen or permanent resident to file a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. A Form I-485 is also required but can be filed at the same time.
