Help, the relative immigration problem in the United States.

American relatives immigrants are divided into immediate relatives immigrants and other relatives immigrants. Immigrants with immediate family members are not subject to quota restrictions, that is, as long as they are immediate family members of American citizens, as long as they are not prohibited from entering the United States by American law, they can obtain immigrant visas and immigrate to the United States without restrictions. The immigration of relatives other than immediate family members is subject to the annual quota stipulated by the US immigration law.

Immediate family members as defined in American immigration law refer to:

1. Spouses of American citizens;

2. Unmarried children under the age of 2/kloc-0 whose parents are American citizens;

3. Age of parents of American citizens 21; Adopted sons, adopted daughters and adoptive parents are regarded as immediate family members, but the adoption relationship must be established before 16 years old; Stepsons, daughters, stepfathers and mothers are also regarded as immediate family members, but stepparents must get married before their children reach the age of 18.

1, First Priority Immigration (P 1):

A: Unmarried children of American citizens aged 265,438+0 include adopted sons and daughters (adopted before 65,438+06) and stepsons and daughters (whose stepparents got married before 65,438+08);

2. Second Priority Immigrants (P2):

A: Spouses of permanent residents in the United States (green card holders);

B: Unmarried children of any age of permanent residents in the United States, including adopted children and stepchildren within the prescribed scope;

C: and their minor children under the age of 2 1, including legally divorced only children.

3. Priority immigrants of the third category (P3):

A: Married children of American citizens include eligible adopted sons, adopted daughters, stepsons and adopted daughters;

4, the fourth priority immigration (P4):
