Family-Based Green Cards
Representation from Our Immigration Lawyers in Houston
Legal permanent residency in the United States can be obtained through sponsorship by a relative. This method to obtain residency is commonly used, but there are specific limitations. Residents can only sponsor spouses, children, and parents of the U.S. citizens who are under the classification of "immediate relatives."
Citizens of the U.S., however, can sponsor the following relatives for lawful permanent residency:
- Spouses
- Children
- Adult sons
- Adult daughters
- Parents
- Brothers
- Sisters
How Are Family-Based Green Cards Obtained?
Green cards through family members can be applied for by either a United States citizen or permanent resident. Immediate relatives of a citizen are given greater preference to obtain lawful permanent residency through this form of sponsorship.
Immediate relatives include:
- Spouse
- Unmarried children under age 21
- Parents
Relatives who are not considered "immediate" may be able to be sponsored through a "family-preference category." Individuals who may be eligible include the unmarried sons or daughters over the age of 21, married children of any age, and brothers / sisters of the citizen.

I went to a few lawyers for consultations, but Rebekah was the only one that put me on ease. I trusted her from the start and I am glad I did! The whole process went promptly and smoothly. The price was more than fair for the service provided. She was recommended to me by a family member and I will 100% recommend her as well!- M. A.

Rebekah did a wonderful job! We were very close in the process to be approved for our green card but then the news came, we were denied because not delivering the correct RFE. She was immediately sure there was a mistake made and started her investigation. In 3 weeks, she turned our case from denial to having our green cards in the mail. couldn't be happier! Thanks Rebekah!
