Obtaining a Green Card (permanent residency in the United States) through kinship involves different categories of sponsoring relatives. Specific requirements may vary based on the type of kinship.
Spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents can apply for a Green Card.
Unmarried and minor children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents can apply for a Green Card. In addition, married and/or adult children of U.S. citizens can apply for a Green Card, although the process can be more complex.
Parents of U.S. citizens over the age of 21 can apply for a Green Card as long as the sponsoring citizen is a lawful permanent resident.
Siblings of U.S. citizens over the age of 21 can apply for a Green Card as long as the sponsoring citizen is a lawful permanent resident.
It is always advisable to seek legal advice when dealing with kinship Green Card applications, as the processes can be complex and subject to changes in immigration laws. Here are some important considerations:
Some preference categories have annual quotas, which can result in significant wait times.
The adjustment of status is for those who are already in the U.S., while the consular process is for those outside the U.S., for example, in Brazil.
There are some exceptions and specific circumstances that may affect the requirements, such as abuse cases, humanitarian cases, among others.
