Can I Get My Family a Visa to Enter the United States? Family reunification is a primary reason for immigration into the United States. With certain limits on the number of family-immigration visas issued each year, foreign citizens trying to join their families must meet all legal requirements during the visa application process. At least two family members participate in the process – a petitioner and a beneficiary. The petitioner is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder), and the beneficiary is a foreign citizen seeking to move to the United States. Family-based immigration visas fall into two categories. 1. Immediate Relatives – Primarily reserved for the spouse, children under age 21, or parents of a U.S. citizen. There is no limit on the number of immediate relative immigrant visas issued each year. 2. Family Preference – Broader categories for older children, siblings, married children and more. The number of annual visas issued is limited. The process requires U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to petition the U.S. government. If successful, the foreign relative can then apply for a green card. The Law Office of Geri N. Kahn assists both parties through the family-based immigration process.
