Can a father immigrate to the United States and a son immigrate?

Yes, this is the most traditional way of immigration-one person immigrates to the whole family. A parent who has obtained a US (permanent) green card or US citizenship can apply for a US green card for his minor children and parents through relative migration (EB5). But there are also some differences: mainly age, which is divided into 2 1 year or above and 2 1 year or below.

Types of relative migration:

There are two kinds of relative immigrants in the United States: unrestricted and quota-free, and limited with quota restrictions.

1. Unlimited immigration: it mainly refers to the immigrants of immediate family members of American citizens. The members of "immediate family members" may include spouses, parents and unmarried children of American citizens under 2 1. Immediate family members are not restricted by immigration visa quotas, and can immigrate directly to the United States to apply for permanent resident status without waiting for a long visa schedule.

2. Quota Restricted Relatives Migration (Limited): Mainly refers to the "priority" relatives of American citizens or permanent residents. Members of "priority" relatives can be unmarried children, spouses of green card holders, married children of American citizens, brothers and sisters of American citizens, etc. Each priority category has only a certain number of immigrant visa quotas in each fiscal year. Once the quota of that year is used up, even if the immigration bureau approves the application for immigration, the applicant will have to wait until there is a new quota to immigrate. Because priority immigrants receive a large number of immigration applications every year, there are currently 2- 10 years.

? According to American immigration law, the age of 2 1 is calculated by login; However, lawyers will apply for the "Child Protection Law" when submitting the application, so as long as the child reaches 2 1 year, it can be sent to the US Immigration Service and signed. At the same time, it can't be more than one year from the issuance of DS-230 form to the transfer of the case to Guangzhou Consulate. Therefore, try to submit an application before the child is 20 years old, so that you can apply for a green card for your child through unrestricted relative immigration.
