Green Card for Family Members
Certain foreign nationals are eligible to get a family-based Green Card if they are sponsored by their U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relatives.
There is a two-step process involved in getting a family-based Green Card. Initially the U.S citizen or the lawful permanent resident has to file the "Immigrant Petition" to prove that a relationship exists between them and the intending immigrant. Secondly, once the immigration petition is approved, an immigration application has to be filed by the intending immigrant for a Green Card.
If the beneficiaries of U.S. citizen sponsors are present in the U.S. both the steps can be completed simultaneously. Beneficiaries (of either U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents) who are outside the U.S. will have to wait till the petition is approved before they can file their applications for an immigrant visa.
