The United States has outlined two main family-based immigrant visa categories for foreign nationals seeking permanent residence. The Immediate Relative visas cover spouses of US citizens, unmarried children under 21 of US citizens, and parents of US citizens who are at least 21 years old. These visas are not subject to an annual numerical limit.
The Family Preference visas, on the other hand, cover certain family relationships with US citizens and lawful permanent residents and are subject to annual numerical limits. The fiscal year 2026 limit for family-sponsored preference immigrants is 226,000.
