Lawful Permanent Residents

September 29th, 2023 | immigrantvisapetitions

United States citizens and lawful permanent residents may file immigrant visa petitions on behalf of preference relatives. Preference relatives are divided by immigration law into five categories:
.
First preference (F1) – Unmarried Sons and Daughters, 21 Years of Age and Older, of U.S. Citizens;
.
Second preference (F2A) – Spouses and Children (Unmarried and Under 21 Years of Age) of Lawful Permanent Residents;
.
Second preference (F2B) – Unmarried Sons and Daughters, 21 Years of Age and Older, of Lawful Permanent Residents;
.
Third preference (F3) – Married Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens; and
.
Fourth preference (F4) – Brothers and Sisters of U.S. Citizens (if the U.S. Citizen is 21 Years of Age and Older).
.
Immigrant visas for preference relatives are numerically limited each fiscal year. Therefore, some family preference relatives must wait in what is known as the “visa queue” for a visa to become available.
