    What is a Family Residency / Green Card Process in the U.S.?

    This is the process by which U.S. citizens and permanent residents can request that permanent residency be granted for their immediate family members (spouses, parents, children, brothers and sisters), given they can demonstrate that they can financially support them in the U.S.

    What Family Members are Eligible to Obtain U.S. Residency and How Long are the Estimated Wait Periods for a Green Card?

    There are two categories of family immigration petitions: relatives of U.S. citizens and relatives of legal permanent residents:

    U.S. Residency for Relatives of U.S. Citizens

    U.S. citizens may file family based immigration petitions for U.S. residency on behalf of the following family members:

    Note: The processing times estimated here are for applications filed with USCIS and they are subject to change depending on the processing center handling your application. You may ask our Boston immigration attorneys to give you an up to date estimate at your consultation appointment (schedule your immigration legal consultation today!). Consular Processing may require additional waiting time and procedures.

    • Residency for spouse of U.S. citizen: 1.5 to 5.5 years processing time (however, work permit and travel authorization is granted within 6-12 months from filing of the applications if eligible for adjustment of status in the U.S.);

    How do I Determine What Family Residency Visa Category I Qualify for?

    The visa category is determined by four characteristics. First, the immigration status of the petitioner resident or citizen, second, the family relationship, third, the age of the beneficiary or foreigner, and fourth, the marital status of the beneficiary. The categories are defined, according to these characteristics in the visa bulletin.

    What is the Duration of a Family U.S. Residency / Green Card?

    Once a spouse’s legal permanent residency (Green Card) is approved, it remains valid as long as the person continues to live primarily in the United States and follows the requirements for maintaining permanent resident status.

    Renewability of a Family Green Card

    Your legal permanent resident status does not expire as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements listed in your original residency application. However, your physical green card, which serves as proof of your permanent residency, must be renewed every 10 years. It is best to apply for renewal about six months before the card’s expiration date.

    Family Benefits of a U.S. Residency

    The immediate family of the applicant may be eligible to obtain U.S. permanent residency with all its benefits, at the same time the applicant receives it. Permanent residency allows all family members to live, study and/or work legally in the U.S.

    What is a Derivative Beneficiary?

    A derivative beneficiary is a spouse or child of an individual who was named as the primary or main beneficiary of a visa application or residency petition, if the type of petition allows family members to be included. For example:

    1. My aunt who is a U.S. citizen filed a residency petition for my mother when I was under the age of 21; this means my mother’s spouse and I are derivative beneficiaries of that application.
    2. My father’s employer started a petition for my father when I was under the age of 21; this means my father’s wife and I are derivative beneficiaries of that petition.
    3. My mother married a U.S. citizen when I was under the age of 21 and I was named as her child in the petition, however, this type of residency petition does not allow me to be a derivative beneficiary. In this case, my stepfather is required to file a separate residency petition for me, if he wants to petition for my residency.

    What Documentation do I Need to Apply for U.S. Residency for Family Members?

    • Birth Certificates – Original (translated if necessary)
      • Beneficiary (Alien)
      • Citizen (Petitioner)
    • Copy of original/certified Marriage Certificate (translated if necessary) [Marriage Certificate of Parents if it is a Parent/Child or Child/Parent petition]
    • Copy of original/certified Divorce Certificate(s) (if applicable) (translated if necessary)
    • Copy of Petitioner’s Federal Tax Return – Last Year and W-2’s, 1099 & schedule C’s from 2-3 years ago
    • Joint Sponsor (if Petitioner does not meet income requirements)
      • Copy of complete federal tax return withW-2’s from last year
      • Copy of evidence of Citizenship or Legal Permanent Resident status
    • Photographs
      • 2 Passport-style photographs of the Petitioner
      • 6 Passport-style photographs of the Beneficiary
    • Copy of Passport for Beneficiary
    • Evidence of 245(i) Eligibility (if necessary)
    • Copy of any court records for the Alien
    • Copy of any prior applications or records related to immigration matters
    • Copy of I-94 Form – If applicable

    What is the Process to obtain a U.S. Residency Through a Family Member?

    There are three different procedures depending upon the status of the petitioner, their relationship with the beneficiary and individual circumstances of the applicants. Navigating through each stage requires the skill and guidance of one of our experienced family immigration lawyers. Read more on the family Green Card / Residency process.

    Important Additional Consideration for Family Green Card Petitions

    For any person filing a family- based residency petition, it is important that both the petitioner and the beneficiary properly file tax returns with all income reported, the correct filing status (generally not “head of household”) and evidence to support any deductions.

    Generally the family of the petitioner and beneficiary (all members of household) should not be receiving financial assistance (housing, WIC, FreeCare, heat/electricity/gas, daycare, food-stamps) and if they are or have been receiving benefits, to make sure that all income is reported on any benefit application.

    What are the USCIS Filing Fees Needed?

    You will need to pay the filing fees for forms (I-130), (I-485), (fingerprints), and if applicable, the penalty fee for (I-485A). Visit the U.S. Immigration and Citizen Services website to verify the fees as these change regularly.

    FAQs About Family Residency Immigration Petitions

    When are children eligible to obtain U.S. citizenship automatically through their parents?

    If you become a U.S. Citizen, you children might become U.S. Citizens even if they were not born in the U.S. through the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA). This law applies to children who turned 18 on or after the effective date, February 27, 2001.To qualify for automatic citizenship under the CCA your child must meet the following criteria:

    • Be under the age of 18;
    • Have a parent who is a U.S. Citizen;
    • Be in the “legal” custody of that U.S. Citizen parent; and
    • Be present in the U.S. with Legal Permanent Resident Status.

    Children who naturalize automatically do not have to take an “Oath of Allegiance” and are permitted to maintain their citizenship of any other country that they possessed on the day of their naturalization.

    If you have a U.S. citizen child, you may be able to obtain lawful status in the United States under certain immigration pathways. The options available depend on how you entered the country, how long you have lived in the U.S., and your child’s age.

    First, if you entered the United States with a valid visa and your U.S. citizen child is 21 years of age or older and able to financially sponsor you, your child may file a family-based immigrant petition to help you apply for lawful permanent residence. If you entered the U.S. without a visa, you may still qualify to adjust status through a waiver of unlawful entry or under INA § 245(i), if you are eligible under that provision.

    Second, if you have lived continuously in the United States for at least ten years and can prove that your U.S. citizen child would suffer an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship if you were deported, you may be eligible to apply for Cancellation of Removal, commonly referred to as the “10-Year Law.” This form of relief is available in removal proceedings and requires strong evidence, credible testimony, and careful legal preparation.

    Because these immigration options involve complex legal standards and strict eligibility requirements, consulting with an experienced Boston immigration lawyer is critical to determining the best strategy for protecting your family and securing lawful status.

    Will I be able to get my green card through my brother/sister who is a U.S. citizen? How long will it take?

    U.S. Citizens can apply for a resident petition (first step in the green card process) for their siblings. However, the applications that have a priority date which is current are almost 18 years old, and new applications are estimated to take even longer.

    Whether someone actually receives their green card depends upon many factors. An applicant for a green card is examined by the U.S. government after the resident petition application has been approved (during the final step in the green card process—the I-485 or DS-230 applications) and the priority date is current (see Visa Bulletin— category family sponsored preference 4th preference) and they take into consideration factors such as immigration status, health, criminal history, etc. in determining whether or not an individual will ultimately be granted a green card.

    My relative was stopped at a U.S. airport and released to my custody, what are my responsibilities and what does my relative have to do?

    Your responsibility as a “sponsor” is to make sure that the relative goes to court on the scheduled date or you will lose the money that was paid to secure your relative’s release. If the released relative does not show up to court, there are no other risks or penalties for the sponsor. The relative must appear at all scheduled immigration hearings or appointments.

    I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to.

    My husband and I are going through the US immigration process through consular processing in Canada. We hit an unexpected hitch in our process, and we were panicked and seeking out attorneys who could advise us what was happening with my husband's case. This firm took my emotional call and talked me through where we were in our process, what the likely outcome and timeline was based on their past cases supported, etc. and talked through all the details of our case. We talked for a good 15-20 minutes and they didn't charge me a dime. I felt so re-assured by the end of the conversation that our case will resolve soon. We haven't gotten the visa issued just yet, but we're remaining hopeful and will be contacting this company again as soon as anything goes astray. I really appreciated their care for a potential client, considering how emotional and scary the process can be. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to. Thank you again for taking my call, and explaining so much of the process to us. It's clear you take care of your clients, and this review felt like the least I could do as a thank you. We'll be in touch if we end up needing your services!

I was very happy working with them and will be happy to work with them again in the future.

    I would definitely recommend Desmond and FitzGerald & Company to anyone looking for a professional, trustful immigration lawyer

    Desmond FitzGerald and his staff handles the daunting immigration legal paperwork with the utmost professionalism but always keeping the experience personal and realistic. I always felt that that I mattered. FitzGerald & Company has many payment options and they work with you to set up a payment plan which is affordable. {para}I would definitely recommend Desmond and FitzGerald & Company to anyone looking for a professional, trustful immigration lawyer.
