Who Can Sponsor Family Members?
If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to sponsor certain family members for immigration to the United States. Family sponsorship is often the most direct path to permanent residency.
U.S. Citizens can sponsor:
- Spouse (immediate relative — no waiting list)
- Unmarried children under 21 (immediate relative)
- Parents (if applicant is 21+) (immediate relative)
- Unmarried adult children, married children, and siblings (family preference — may have waiting period)
Lawful Permanent Residents can sponsor:
- Spouse (family preference with potential wait)
- Unmarried children (family preference with potential wait)
