What are the immigration conditions of American relatives?

The application procedure of American immigrant relatives varies according to the location of relatives: one is the situation of relatives overseas, and the other is the situation of relatives in the United States. In either case, American citizens or permanent residents need to submit immigration applications for them first.

After the application is approved, relatives can obtain permanent resident status by applying for an entry immigrant visa to the US embassy overseas or applying for adjustment of their status in China. Let's look at the immigration conditions of American relatives:

The first kind of American immigrants are relatives overseas:

If the relatives are overseas, the Immigration Bureau will transfer the case to the National Visa Center in the State Council after approving the immigration application submitted by American citizens or permanent residents. After the trial in the national visa center, if it is relatively free from the threshold of immigration quota.

Or, although limited by quotas, the case has been scheduled, and the case will be transferred to the American embassy or consulate in the country or region where the relatives are located, and the embassy will arrange visa interviews. After consultation, relatives can enter the United States as permanent residents of the United States.

The second American immigrant is a relative in the United States:

If relatives have entered the United States through other relatives' visas, and their status is valid, they should submit an application for changing their status to the China Immigration Bureau. If the relatives are not restricted by the quota threshold, their application for changing their status can be submitted together with the immigration application submitted by American citizens or permanent residents.

In practice, immigration authorities often examine and approve immigration applications and change of identity applications at the same time, instead of examining and approving immigration applications first and then changing of identity applications. If relatives are subject to quota restrictions, the application for change of identity can only be submitted after the schedule. It should be noted that in the case of scheduled arrival, no matter whether the entry application has been approved or is still under trial, you can submit an application for changing your identity.
