Family Preference Visa-What is an F1 Immigrant Visa?

 

An F1 immigrant visa allows a United States Citizen to petition their unmarried son or daughter 21 years old or older to immigrate to the U.S.

 

Aside from F1, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has different categories for family preference visas that allow you (a legal permanent resident or United States Citizen) to petition a qualifying relative to immigrate to the United States.

 

  • Second preference or F2A – A petition for spouse and minor children (below 21 years old) of lawful permanent resident
  • Second Preference or F2B – A petition for unmarried sons and daughters aged 21 or older of legal permanent residents
  • Third Preference or F3 – A petition for married sons and daughters of U.S Citizens
  • Fourth Preference or F4 – A petition for brothers and sisters of U.S Citizens

 

F-1 IMMIGRANT VISA OVERVIEW

 

There are specific criteria that you and your unmarried child aged 21 years old or older must meet for a successful F1 Immigrant Visa petition. You, the parent or petitioner, must be a United States Citizen and have a U.S. address.

 

For your child, they should be unmarried and at least 21 years old or older. You should be able to prove your relationship with your child either with a birth certificate, or if adopted, an adoption decree.

 

After meeting the criteria, various forms and documents for your spouse and your child must be submitted. Once completed, the applicant or applicants must also be prepared for and pass an interview with the U.S. Embassy.
