Within family immigration cases, if a family member does not fall into the category of immediate relatives, they may qualify for a family visa via the category of preference immigrants. The different types of preference immigrants are listed below:

1st preference: unmarried sons or daughters of U.S. citizens, includes those children age 21 or older

2nd preference: (1) spouse or children of an alien legally admitted for permanent residence; and (2) unmarried sons or daughters of an alien legally admitted for permanent residence

3rd preference: married sons or daughters of a U.S. citizen

4th preference: siblings (brothers or sisters) of a U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years old

Derivative beneficiaries: a spouse or child of the primary alien under the family-sponsored preference is entitled to the same status and order of consideration

The process of bringing your family members to the United States can be long and complicated. It is essential that you enlist the assistance of an immigration lawyer who can guide you through the process and ensure that all of the proper documentation is filled out and filed.
