Employment Authorization, Green Card and US Visas

There are many ways to immigrate to the US. One popular form of immigration is family-based immigration, which allows you to immigrate to the US if you have a family member who is a US citizen. The US wants to promote family unity and for this reason makes it possible for US citizens to sponsor relatives to come to live and work in the US. You can immigrate to the US through family if you have:

  • A spouse who is a US citizen. Whether you are already married to a US citizen or merely engaged, you can seek an application for a green card and eventually for citizenship. Most couples start this process with the engagement. If you are engaged to a US citizen, you can apply for a K1 visa, which allows you to enter the US and marry. The K1 visa also allows you to live and work in the US. Once you are married, you can then apply for a green card and eventually for citizenship.

  • A parent who is a US citizen. If one of your parents is a US citizen (this can include adoptive parents and step-parents) and you are an unmarried or married biological child, you may qualify for immigration based on this relationship. Unmarried, minor children usually have a higher priority waiting time than married children over 21. However, it is possible to sponsor any child through US immigration. If you qualify for a green card this way, the Green Card for Children Application from US-Immigration.com contains everything you need to apply today.

  • A brother or sister who is a US citizen. In some cases, siblings can sponsor each other for immigration into the US. Be sure to check out the Green Card for Brothers or Sisters Application kit from US-Immigration.com if you qualify for a green card through a sibling. This kit contains detailed instructions, the latest USCIS forms and everything else you need to complete a permanent residency application.

  • A child who is a US citizen. In many cases, US citizens can sponsor their parents for immigration to the US. To do this, get the Green Card for Parent(s) Application kit; it contains everything you need to apply today.
