Bringing family to US!

Green Card is one of the common terms used in US immigration vocabulary. People, who don’t even have any relevance with immigration, talk in the language of Green Card. Some have idea about it, some don’t! In easier terms, it’s your gateway towards getting a Permanent Residence status in US. But are you aware as to how to bring your family members in the US? Let me tell you that the procedure for bringing family members to US on Green Card is simple too. But not much has been written or talked about it!

Filing a petition (Form I-130) plays the key here. A US immigration expert would ensure that your application is filled and filed in the right manner, along with arranging the right documents required to prove the relationship of family members with the principal applicant. These documents will/might include marriage certificates/ birth certificates, citizenship proof, to name a few.

Additionally, the petition would see that the principal applicant would provide the sponsorship for the family member.

Also, not every family member has the right to file the repetition. Consult a US immigration and visa expert to know more on who can apply for a Green Card for family members in the US. For instance, the principal applicant doesn’t have the right to petition directly for other relatives, including cousins, grandparents or uncles and aunts. It is a chain. The principal applicant who has a PR in US can file petition for parents, who later on can go on to file the petition for their parents. Shoot your query at ajay@abhinav.com for more info.

Processing time for Green Card for family members: The processing time may vary in accordance with the current status of the applicant who is sponsoring the family members. For instance, if he is a PR or a citizen of US, the time may vary with the case of a petition filed in other crate.

In addition, it is always advised that one should always hire the services of a genuine and authentic immigration expert in order to remove all the chances of errors, which may eventually lead to a visa denial. Visit www.abhinav.com for more details.
