Consular Processing
Family-based immigration remains one of the most direct and compassionate pathways to obtaining lawful permanent residence in the United States. This process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to sponsor eligible family members to receive a Green Card and reunite in the U.S.
- Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens: Includes spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens over the age of 21. These petitions are not subject to annual visa caps, making the process faster and more accessible (uscis.gov).
- Family Preference Categories: Covers more distant relatives such as adult children (single or married) and siblings of U.S. citizens, as well as spouses and children of lawful permanent residents. These categories are subject to annual visa limits and may involve long wait times (uscis.gov).
- Form I-130: The process begins when the petitioner files Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to establish a qualifying family relationship (uscis.gov).
- Visa Availability: For preference categories, applicants must check the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin to determine when a visa becomes available. As of May 2025, USCIS confirms the use of the “Dates for Filing” chart for all family preference categories (uscis.gov).
- Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing: If the beneficiary is inside the U.S. and a visa is available, they may file Form I-485 to adjust status. If they are abroad, they must complete the process through a U.S. consulate or embassy (uscis.gov).
- COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement Removed: As of March 11, 2025, COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required for immigration medical exams, simplifying the process for many applicants.
- Improved Processing Guidance: USCIS has updated its guidance to clarify how officers should process petitions when it is unclear whether the beneficiary intends to adjust status in the U.S. or process through a consulate abroad (uscis.gov).
- Wait Times: Preference categories may involve significant wait times due to visa caps. Staying updated on visa bulletin movements is crucial.
- Accurate Documentation: Submitting complete and accurate documents from the start helps avoid delays and requests for additional evidence.
- Legal Guidance: Due to the complexity and frequent updates in immigration law, working with an experienced immigration attorney can greatly increase the success of your petition.
