American relative immigrants

Conditions for American relatives to immigrate: (1) Spouse immigrants include two kinds of people: the first is the spouse of an American citizen, who is not limited by the quota and can be approved quickly as long as he applies; The second is the spouse of the American green card holder, who is restricted by quota and belongs to the second priority immigration. (II) Children's Immigration According to the US immigration law, there are four main situations to apply for children's immigration: (1)2 1 Unmarried children of American citizens under the age of 0 can apply for immigration, and there is no quota limit; (2) Children who have reached the age of 2 1 year, but are unmarried, belong to the first priority category; (3) Children who are married belong to the third priority category; (4) Green card holders can also apply for immigration for their unmarried children. Beneficiaries belong to the second priority category, and divorced children are considered unmarried. Married children of green card holders have no priority. The immigration law gives the following definitions of "children": (1) children born in marriage; (2) A stepchild, as long as his biological father is married to his stepmother or his biological mother is married to his stepfather, and the child is under the age of 18, he has the status of stepchild; (3) Children born out of wedlock can seek immigration status through their relationship with their biological mother or father, if they are related by blood; -4 adopted children,/kloc-legally adopted by adoptive parents before the age of 0/6, and lived with them for at least two years. The so-called parents here include not only biological father and mother, but also stepfather, stepmother, adoptive father and adoptive mother. In principle, the applicant's children should prove the existence of parent-child relationship. It should be noted that the relationship between the adopted children and their biological parents was terminated by adoption, so the adopted children obtained citizenship and could not apply for immigration to the United States for their biological parents. (3) Brothers and sisters immigrate to the United States People with citizenship can apply for brothers and sisters to immigrate to the United States as long as they are over 265,438+0 years old, which is the fourth priority in the priority category of relative immigration. People with permanent residency in the United States cannot be their brothers and sisters, but also include half-brothers or half-brothers. But this stepbrother relationship should have existed before 18 years old, otherwise you may not enjoy the rights and interests in immigration law. (4) Peer family members In order to prevent the families of immigrants from being separated, the immigration law gives special preferential treatment to peer family members who are allowed to immigrate. An immigrant who has obtained any of the above preferential status, his spouse and unmarried children under 2l can obtain the same priority immigration status if they travel with him or reunite with him in the United States later.

Legal objectivity:

The General Services Agency (GSA) said that all questions raised by American citizens by email, telephone and federal government forms will be answered within two days. This decision is very helpful for American citizens to ask their relatives about immigration or ask their employers about the identity of foreign employees. According to the US "World Journal" report, this convenience measure is a part of the Bush administration's promotion of electronic services, and its scope of application includes all e-mails, online inquiries, telephone inquiries (1-800-FED-INFO), or downloading inquiry forms from the government website FIRSTGOVWEBSITE. Citizens can ask about the progress of various immigration cases sponsored by non-citizens. For example, citizens can ask non-citizen spouses about their immigration application, or American citizen employers can ask non-citizen employees about the progress of applying for H-1B. However, it should be noted that GSA clearly pointed out that the convenience measures mentioned in the previous paragraph are aimed at American citizens, and non-American citizens, whether permanent residents, non-immigrant visa holders or any foreigners, are not allowed to use this service. Because American law clearly stipulates that it is illegal for foreigners to impersonate American citizens, and they should be punished by "no entry" or "deportation" in the federal immigration law.
