If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR), or a green card holder, you can petition your spouse or your minor child (below 21 years old) to immigrate to the United States by applying for an F-2A Immigrant Visa.
The Law Offices of Michael J. Gurfinkel, Inc. can provide legal assistance for your F-2A petition. We use our extensive immigration law knowledge and experience to help people reunite with their families.
An F-2A immigrant visa involves a legal permanent resident (LPR) petitioning a spouse or a minor child aged under 21 years old to immigrate to the U.S.
Aside from F-2A, 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.
There are specific criteria that you, your spouse, and/or minor child must meet for a successful F-2A Immigrant Visa petition. You, the parent or petitioner, must be a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and have a U.S. address.
For your spouse, you should be able to prove your relationship with them through a marriage certificate. If you are not married to your partner, they are not eligible for an F-2A Immigrant Visa.
For your child, they should be under 21 years old and unmarried. 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 minor child must be submitted. Once completed, the applicant or applicants must also be prepared for and pass an interview with the U.S. Embassy.
