Who falls within the Immediate Relative Category for Family Sponsored Immigration?
This category includes parents, spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 of U.S. citizens. Individuals falling into this category do not have to wait for an immigrant visa number to become available once the visa petition filed for them is approved by the US Immigration and Naturalization Services (USCIS). An immigrant visa number will be immediately available for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens.
