If you are a direct family member of a U.S citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident then you could petition for immigration to the United States through a family-based visa. As the name implies, this type of visa is meant to help U.S citizens and their families to stay together. Immediate Relative Immigrant Visas offer relative peace of mind compared to other visas because they are not subject to yearly limits. Immediate Relative Visas come in five types, each of which is selected depending on the relationship between the U.S citizen and the immigrant in question. Spouses, unmarried children, orphans adopted abroad, orphans to be adopted in the U.S, and parents of a U.S citizen can apply for one of these visas. If your family members are related in a different manner, such as brothers or sisters, then a Family Preference Immigrant Visa may be the best option.
