How long does it take for relatives to immigrate to the United States?

The tightening of EB-5 investment immigration policy in the United States is the general trend, and many investors have begun to pay attention to more ways to obtain American green cards.

How long is the visa period for American family reunion immigrants?

First of all, there is no visa timetable for relatives immigrants without quota restrictions, that is, immediate family immigrants of American citizens, so it usually takes only about two years from processing to obtaining an immigrant visa.

Quota restrictions Relative immigrants, that is, "priority" relative immigrants of American citizens or permanent residents are subject to quota restrictions, so they are affected by visa scheduling.

The following is the latest relative immigrant visa schedule for July 20 15:

First priority: The deadline for Chinese mainland is 2007.5438+00.438+0.

Second priority A: Chinese mainland deadline 2013.11.08.

Second priority B: The deadline for Chinese mainland is 2008. 10. 15.

Third priority: Chinese mainland's deadline is March 6th, 2004, 438+05.

Fourth priority: Chinese mainland's deadline is 2002.438+00.22.

Due to the different visa schedule, the processing time of the above four priority relatives immigrants is also different. The first priority is about 6 years, the second is about A 5 years, the second is about B 9 years, and the third is about 8 years. The waiting time of the fourth priority is the longest, even as long as 12 years.

At present, in addition to American EB5 investment immigrants, L 1 transnational manager immigrants and skilled immigrants, it is a convenient and quick way to immigrate if you have qualified relatives in the United States.

We have received many clients who come to consult about American relative immigration, and a large number of clients have entrusted us to handle American relative immigration. Many customers have successfully received approval letters from the US Immigration Service.

To apply for American relative immigration, you can only apply if you can prove that you are related to American naturalized relatives or relatives with American green cards (conditional). There are almost no other conditions attached. American immigration law pays attention to family reunion, so the immigration policy for relatives is very loose, which is a great boon for relatives and friends who want to immigrate to the United States.

Although relative immigration is simpler than other ways of immigrating to the United States in terms of document preparation and application procedures, it cannot be taken lightly. In the applications we handled, many parties thought that the process of applying for American relatives immigration was very simple at first, so they could apply for it themselves, but later they felt that there was a gap between reality and imagination, so they had to ask for help and finally hired professional lawyers to assist.

The common problems encountered in these aspects are:

1. I don't know American immigration laws and immigration types, and the information in the materials is inaccurate.

Many clients don't know much about the United States, especially their understanding of American immigration law is not as thorough as that of professional lawyers. As a result, in the process of handling their own affairs, they often prepare materials according to their own ideas or habits, but there may be checking errors or the materials do not meet the requirements, which is called misunderstanding. Of course, if we just waste time starting over because of common mistakes, we have also met customers who are considered inaccurate and fraudulent by the immigration bureau because of our unintentional mistakes, and then submitted a lot of evidence to explain. As a result, customers lost a lot of energy and suffered unnecessary risks and pressures. In addition, the schedule is getting longer and longer now, and customers are definitely not willing to delay.

Second, missing steps and delaying processing.

If the US Immigration Service receives an application for immigration from a relative, it will review the materials. If the materials are confirmed to be accurate, it will issue a notice of approval for relative immigration I-797. Many applicants will feel that things have been done by this time, just waiting for the appointment and face-to-face signing. But in fact, when the Immigration Bureau issued I-797, it also sent the application documents to the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. At this point, the applicant still has many key steps to perform. However, we have already met with the client, and we are not clear about the relevant steps and details. Unfortunately, it delayed our precious time, and finally we had to turn to professionals for help.

Third, the interview lacks preparation and the answer is irrelevant.

Finally, when all the application procedures are completed, the last step of applying for immigration-face-to-face visa, is also rejected by the US Immigration Service.

Because American overseas embassies and consulates have great discretion in visa, relevant parties need to make full preparations before face-to-face signing. We met customers who came to ask for help with anxiety. They told a long story because they were worried that immigration officials would not understand the reasons, which eventually made immigration officials doubt their motives.

Applicants who are experienced and familiar with the United States can of course handle it themselves; Inexperienced, you can try it yourself if you do your homework. But anyway, what I want to tell you is, don't think "this thing is very simple". In the process of immigration, a little carelessness may cause irreparable consequences. Everyone must treat this as a major event and treat it with caution.
