Family Immigrant Laws to Know About

Every day, people come to the United States from other countries. Some of these people want to stay in America, but they don’t know how. Other people want to come to America and live, but they may not know the laws, and so they may unintentionally break them. Sometimes, immigrant parents who want to bring their children to America send them in the wrong way.

At other times, immigrants without any idea of America’s laws may bring small children by themselves. Some people seem to believe that they can come to America in any way they want without asking the government or knowing some law or the law’s requirements. All immigrants should know some laws about how they can move here and how long they have to be in the country.

What Are Family Immigrant Laws?

Family immigrants are people who come to America to live here and be part of the American family. There are many family laws that help family immigrants, including being near your family members. Family immigrants may be able to bring their relatives with them if they want to live here. Family laws can keep people from trying to bring over more than one member of their family at a time, especially when the law says the person who is coming must have a sponsor and show a reason for coming.

Family immigration laws tell you how long you have to be in the United States before you can get a green card. This is considered one part of being in the American family and allows you to stay with your relatives, who are your sponsors or sponsors for your relatives. In some cases, people must have a relative here who is sponsoring them before they can apply for citizenship and get their own residence permit.

What is a Family-Based Visa?

In some cases, green card holders can get the visas of their family members at the same time. This is a family-based visa. Family-based visas are used for people who want to bring their parents and siblings here with them. They are used less often for children and adult children, so when this situation happens, it is usually only allowed after ten years of living in America. After five years, you can apply for your adult child to live with you as long as they support themselves financially or get an education or job training.

There are many places in America where you can apply for your family visa. You should not try to just walk into the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) office and apply for a family visa. You will have to find a way to make an appointment with them if you want to apply for your family visa today. They will probably want you to come in during the day, so if you do not have someone who can get an appointment on your behalf, then you state how soon you need it.

Can I Help a Relative Obtain a Family Immigrant Status?

You can help a relative by completing the petition application. This will be a power of attorney and allow you to file for family immigration. The petitioner is someone who wants to help a relative get a petition, while the beneficiary is the person who will receive it. In some cases, you can take on both roles, but some people do not want to be the one bringing in the family member, and that’s okay. You should make sure this is an important dream for you before you commit to being their sponsor.

You can help a relative get a visa if you are an American citizen who is willing to act as a sponsor for them. You will probably have to fill out some forms of documents that can be considered evidence that the family member wants to come to America and be the one in charge of the visa application. You can ask the INS about how much it would cost for you to help a relative or if you need help with your own application.

What Are Family-Based Immigration Applications?

Many people think family-based immigration applications are the same as sponsorship, but they are not. Sponsor means the person who is applying for a visa on behalf of a relative. In family-based immigration applications, the person who is applying for the visa is asking to bring someone else with them, while a sponsor is just bringing a relative. The family member must have their own residence permit before they can apply for their own green card and get their own citizenship and become an American citizen.

Conclusion:

Family immigration is important because it can bring loved ones together. Family immigration can also keep them together, but it is not as dependent on family-based visas and applications. Many people are shocked to find out how hard family-based immigration can be, partly because the person who usually does all the work for them, their sponsor, does not know what they are doing either. They need help finding a way to make sure their relative comes here and has a solid chance of staying there.
