Many immigrants hope to one day bring their families to the United States after obtaining their permanent residency or U.S. citizenship. The reunification process is subject to a set of requirements from the United States and Immigration Attorneys Services.
Some facts to consider:
- To reunite a marriage. For an immigrant who has permanent residence or U.S. citizenship status there is no age requirement to submit the application on behalf of their spouse and children.
- Should an American citizen wants to bring his/her parents to the United States, the son/daughter is required to be a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old.
- Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are spouse, parents or children under 21 years. These relatives are eligible for citizenship or permanent residence.
- Currently, U.S. citizens can sponsor husbands, wives, children and parents, brothers and sisters but not uncles, grandparents or grandchildren.
- In all cases, the citizen or permanent resident that will sponsor a relative in order to bring him/her to the United States, must prove that he/she is financially qualified to do so.
