Green card through family
Family-based Green card
Family-based immigration or obtaining a green card through family reunification is a process of obtaining permanent residence in the USA when US citizens or lawful permanent residents sponsor their non-resident relatives for permanent residence or green card.
If you are an immediate rellative of a U.S. citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) based on your family relationship if you meet certain eligibility requirements. You are an immediate relative if you are:
- The spouse of a U.S. citizen;
- The unmarried child under 21 years of age of a U.S. citizen; or
- The parent of a U.S. citizen (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age or older).

- Unmarried son or daughter of a U.S. citizen and you are 21 years old or older
- Married son or daughter of a U.S. citizen
- Brother or sister of a U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years old
If you are a family member of a lawful permanent resident, meaning you are the:
- Spouse of a lawful permanent resident
- Unmarried child under the age of 21 of a lawful permanent resident
