I have family abroad and I would like to bring them here to the United States, what are my options?
This depends on your status in the United States and who you are trying to bring into the country. Generally, only Legal Permanent Residents and Citizens can sponsor family members and the family members who can be sponsored are spouses, parents, children, and siblings. If you are a child sponsoring parents, you must be 21 years or older to do so. If you are a parent, there is a difference in the amount of time that you must wait for an available visa if your child is under the age of 21 versus over 21. Please visit the Immigrant Visas for Family page for a more detailed explanation.
