Who Is This For?
Unfortunately, not everybody can bring all of their relatives here. The family-based immigration program is based on a complicated priority system of “preferences,” which requires answers to specific questions
- What do people who sponsor a relative get?
- Which types of relatives get to be sponsored?
- Do people from certain countries have priority over people from other countries?
- Where do those relatives get placed in the long line for visas?
