How to Sponsor a Family Member for a Green Card

 U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can sponsor certain family members for immigration to the U.S. through Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.

Eligible relatives include:

  • Spouses

  • Children (unmarried and under 21)

  • Parents (if the sponsor is 21+)

  • Siblings (only for U.S. citizens)

Once approved, the family member must wait for a visa number unless they qualify as an “immediate relative.” The process ends with either Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing.

What Does Trump's New 2025 Immigration Policy Propose?

 As the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the presidency in 2025 gains momentum, immigration policy is once again at the center of national debate. Trump has promised a return to strict immigration measures similar to those from his previous term. Key proposals include: Rebuilding and extending the U.S.-Mexico border wall, Speeding up deportations of undocumented immigrants, Limiting the scope of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Restricting visa applications from certain countries. If implemented, these policies could significantly impact asylum seekers and temporary visa holders alike. Immigrants and applicants currently in the U.S. are advised to stay informed and ensure their legal status remains valid during these policy shifts.
