Family-based immigration is a pathway for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to sponsor close family members for immigration to the United States. This process involves filing petitions to establish eligibility and relationship, allowing family members to obtain visas or adjust their status to permanent residency based on familial ties.

F2 Visa: Subdivided into F2A (for spouses and minor children of permanent residents) and F2B (for unmarried adult sons and daughters of permanent residents).
F3 Visa: For married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, along with their spouses and minor children.
F4 Visa: For siblings of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and minor children, provided the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old. Each category has specific eligibility criteria and application processes tailored to the relationship type.
