Reunite Your Family in the U.S. — Everything About F1–F4 Visas

Apply for F1–F4 Visas for relatives of U.S. citizens and residents

What is a family preference visa? This is the F1–F4 categories offer a formal path to family reunification for close relatives of U.S. citizens and green card holders. If you want to bring family members but they doesn`t meet the requirements for the “immediate relative” categories (such as a spouse or minor child), the F visa categories are designed specifically for you. For example, the F1 family preference category allows your parents to immigrate to the United States of America.

These immigration family preference categories are subject to annual allocations, a stringent top priority system, and waiting lists. As a result of this, the process can take several years. However, with the appropriate technique and dependable lawful support, you can stay clear of unnecessary delays, record errors, and the danger of being rejected.

What are the F visa groups and who receives them?

The family based immigration preference categories are as follows:

• F1: Unmarried adult kid (21+) of U.S. residents;
• F2A: Partner and minor kid of permanent residents;
• F2B: Unmarried adult kid of permanent residents;
• F3: Married children of U.S. citizens;
• F4: Brothers and sis of United State people (if the petitioner is 21+, otherwise 4th preference category immigration is not possible).

While wait times can range from 1 to over 15 years (specifically for F4 family visa), timely declaring and correctly prepared papers on the visa are key to maintaining your situation progressing effectively. For that reason, it needs to be treated with responsibility to make sure that waiting duration is as short as possible.
