Bring your family together: Get them a Green Card faster with U.S. Citizenship
U.S. citizenship opens up faster and more direct pathways to bring your loved ones to the United States. By becoming a citizen, you gain significant advantages in reuniting with family members, whether it’s a spouse, children, parents, or even siblings. Here’s how U.S. citizenship can help you keep your family close and why it’s a valuable step in overcoming the barriers of long wait times and complicated immigration rules.
1. Reuniting with close family members is easier and faster
U.S. citizens have priority when it comes to sponsoring close family members, such as spouses, children, and parents. This means shorter wait times, more streamlined processing, and higher priority over other applicants. Compared to green card holders, U.S. citizens can bring their immediate family members to the U.S. much faster, allowing for a smoother and more efficient process.
- Spouses and Minor Children – As a U.S. citizen, sponsoring your spouse and children under 21 is generally faster, and there are no yearly limits, which means they don’t need to wait for a visa to become available. The result is often a quicker path to a green card and, eventually, U.S. citizenship for them as well.
- Parents – Only U.S. citizens are eligible to sponsor their parents for a green card. For those wishing to bring aging parents closer or provide them with a stable future in the U.S., citizenship is the only way to unlock this option.
2. Extended family options – Siblings and adult children
One of the biggest advantages of U.S. citizenship is the ability to sponsor extended family members like siblings and adult children. While these categories do have annual limits and wait times, being a citizen is the only way to open these pathways. For families separated by distance, this can be a critical benefit, providing a legal route for reuniting with brothers, sisters, and grown children.
3. Faster processing times and priority in immigration system
The U.S. immigration system prioritizes applications from U.S. citizens, which means shorter processing times and higher priority for family petitions. When you sponsor a family member as a citizen, their application moves more quickly through the system compared to sponsorship by a green card holder.
- Immediate Relatives – Spouses, minor children, and parents of U.S. citizens are considered “immediate relatives,” meaning there are no limits on visas issued each year. This speeds up their approval significantly.
- Higher Priority for Family Preference Categories – For siblings and adult children, U.S. citizenship places your family members in a higher preference category than if you were only a green card holder. While there may still be a wait time, their applications move faster through the immigration process.
4. Avoiding common barriers faced by Green Card holders
Green card holders face limitations that can make family reunification more complex and challenging. By becoming a U.S. citizen, you eliminate many of these hurdles:
- Shorter Waiting Periods for Family – Many green card holders find themselves waiting years to bring their family members to the U.S. U.S. citizens avoid many of these delays, with close family members often able to enter the country more quickly.
- More Security and Stability – U.S. citizens don’t risk losing their status if they travel or live abroad for extended periods, which allows you to stay connected with family overseas without affecting your ability to sponsor them.
5. Legal pathways and peace of mind
By becoming a U.S. citizen, you gain the peace of mind that your family’s journey to the U.S. will be as direct and efficient as possible. U.S. citizenship helps protect your family’s future, ensuring they have access to the many opportunities available in the United States, from education to healthcare and employment.
- Your Family’s Future Opportunities – When your family members arrive in the U.S., they gain access to many benefits, from high-quality education to job opportunities. Children of U.S. citizens often gain automatic citizenship, helping them build secure futures.
- No More Risk of Losing Sponsorship Rights – Only citizens can secure a stable path for their family members. Citizenship guarantees that your rights to bring family to the U.S. are protected, without needing to reapply or maintain certain residency requirements.
