Types of Immigration Categories for Families

The Immigration and Nationality (INA) splits the immigration visas for family members of U.S. residents into two categories: Immediate Relative immigrant visas and Family Preference immigrant visas. The U.S. citizen must be at least 21 years of age to file for an Immediate Relative visa.

Immediate Relative visas refer to the following individuals:

  • Spouses
  • Parents
  • Children under 21 years old
  • Adopted orphans

There are no limits on the number of Immediate Relative visas it will grant in a given year.

Family Preference visas refer to the following individuals:

  • Unmarried children or U.S. citizens who are older than 21 and their minor children
  • Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens
  • Siblings of U.S. citizens and their minor children
  • Spouses, minor children, and unmarried older children of Legal Permanent Residents

There is a fiscal year limit on the amount of Family Preference visas granted, with most allocated to the spouses and minor children of Legal Permanent Residents.
