Family-Based immigration refers to immigration to the United States by a non-citizen with a relative to a US citizen or permanent resident (green card holder). These immigrants can be petitioned by their family member, or fiancé, and receive legal status through that person. Family-based immigration typically has two categories: Petitions for immediate relatives of US citizens and petitions for other relatives.
