One of the many benefits of a U.S. citizen, is that your loved ones to come for a green card and live with you in the U.S. sponsor. As a U.S. citizen, you can use your spouse, parents and children petition for a green card status. Whereas, if you are a legal permanent resident (green card), you will be able to sponsor, only your spouse and unmarried children.
The first step is the “immigrant petition” that will establish a qualification between you, the sponsor and your child overseas through the green card application followed . If your child is in the U.S., you can file immigrant petitions and green card applications for children at the same time. But if you are a lawful permanent resident, your child must be approved for the immigrant petition must wait before they can file the green card application.
While sponsoring a green card for a child, is the first step to the Form I-130 to file the immigrant petition. If your child lives outside the United States submitted an application for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate, the jurisdiction over your child’s place of residence. Be
filedWhen live your child / children in the U.S., then file Form I-485, which you can customize the status. If your child lives in the U.S. and is both unmarried and under 21 years old, you may submit Form I-130 and Form I-485 at the same time. This is generally the fastest way to apply for a green card. As a legal permanent resident, if your child is married or older than 21 and living outside the U.S., then you need to wait for the Form I-130 before you are admitted to the next step in the process. If you are a U.S. citizen, you can also sponsor your child married for a green card. married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens fall into the third preference category, that they wait for a visa number available before they can apply for a visa through. In simple words, married sons and daughters have to wait longer than unmarried sons and daughters apply for a green card. However, note that legal permanent residents do not sponsor their married sons and daughters for a green card.
a U.S. citizen parent, you can be your unmarried children under the age of 21 years as “immediate relatives” sponsor, you can directly for a green card apply, without waiting for a priority date current. Although, as a U.S. citizen to sponsor you, your children, the are married or over the age of 21 years, these children do not qualify as immediate relatives. These candidates must wait for their priority date, to date, before it is entitled to apply for a green card.
monthly Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State, tells applicants in their priority date is current. Before you apply for a green card, applicants must be waiting for their priority date current.
It is important to remember that when a relative brings permanently living in the USA, you must accept legal responsibility for the financial support of this family member. You accept this responsibility and become your relative sponsor by completing and signing a document called an affidavit assurance of support. This legally enforceable responsibility lasts until your money credited to a U.S. citizen or with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years.)
