Now immigrants line up.

First, the United States quotas restrict the migration of relatives and are subject to annual immigration quotas. If there is a waiting period, schedule it.

According to the relationship, it is divided into the following four types:

① Family priority, with an annual quota of 23,400.

F 1: Unmarried children of American citizens over 2 1, including those born out of wedlock under 2 1, the application process takes about 6 years.

② Family is the second priority, with an annual quota of 1 1.42 million.

F2A: American permanent residents, that is, spouses of green card holders and only children under the age of 265,438+0, account for at least 77% of the annual quota, and the application process takes about 5 years.

F2B: Unmarried children over 265,438+0 years old of permanent residents in the United States, including those born out of wedlock, account for about 23% of the annual quota, and the application process takes about 9 years.

③ Family is the third priority, with an annual quota of 23,400.

F3: Families of married children of American citizens. The application process takes about 8 years. ?

④ Family is the fourth priority, with 65,000 places per year.

F4: Brothers and sisters of American citizens and single children under 2 1 year old. ?

However, another prerequisite for this kind of relative immigration is that American citizens must be at least 2 1 year old.

Second, relatives without quota restrictions are divided into immediate family members of American citizens.

The immediate family members of American citizens include their spouses, unmarried children under the age of 265,438+0, unmarried children under the age of 65,438+08 born by spouses and ex-husbands, unmarried children under the age of 65,438+06 legally adopted by American citizens and parents of American citizens over the age of 265,438+0. As immediate family members of American citizens, they can immigrate to the United States at any time without quota restrictions, that is, there is no waiting period for green cards.

The main categories are as follows:

Cr 1—— Apply within two years of marriage, and American citizens apply for spouses (CR2 for unmarried children under 2 1). The application process takes about 1 year and 3 months.

IR 1—— After two years of marriage, an American citizen applies for a spouse (the IR2 is an unmarried child under 2 1), and the application process takes about 1 year and 3 months.

American citizens aged IR5-2 1 apply for parents, and the application process takes about one and a half years.

K3-Cr 1 (American citizens apply for spouses), and the priority category of CR2 (their unmarried children under 2 1 year) is K4, and the application process takes about 9 months to 1 year.
