4. Bringing relatives to the U.S. as immigrants

A lawful permanent resident (LPR) has fewer options than a USC as to which relatives they can bring to the US as immigrants. For an overview, see [link:https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/B1en.pdf|].
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative is available on the USCIS.gov website as a free download. [link:https://www.uscis.gov/i-130]
Instructions for Form I-130 [link:https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-130instr.pdf?download=1]

An LPR may only file for relatives in the following family “preference immigrant” categories, who must wait until a visa is available to immigrate:
•Second preference (F2A) - spouses and children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of lawful permanent residents;
•Second preference (F2B) - unmarried sons and daughters, 21 years of age and older, of lawful permanent residents;

A USC may file for for an Immediate Relative (Note: A visa is always available for an immediate relative).
•The spouse of a U.S. citizen;
•The unmarried child under 21 years of age of a U.S. citizen; or
•The parent of a U.S. citizen (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age or older).

A US Citizen may also file for relatives in the following family “preference immigrant” categories, who must wait until a visa is available to immigrate:
•First preference (F1) - unmarried sons and daughters, 21 years of age and older, of U.S. citizens;
•Third preference (F3) - married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and
•Fourth preference (F4) - brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age and older).

The US Department of State determines visa availability and issues a monthly Visa Bulletin showing the cutoff dates for each category.
[link:https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/law-and-policy/bulletin.html] The Priority/Filing date of the I130 must be EARLIER than the listed cutoff date for the beneficiary to be eligible to immigrate.
