As a United States citizen, you can petition for certain family members to migrate to the United States. Here’s a breakdown of the relatives you can sponsor.
Who Can You Petition For?
Fiance/Spouse: You can petition for your fiance or spouse to join you in the United States. Fiancé applications are known as K-1 Visas.
Children: You can petition for your children to join you in the United States. However, the case may take longer to process if:
Your child is over 21 years old. You can petition for children over the age of 21, though these applications often face longer processing times due to lower priority.
Your child is married. You can petition for children who are married, though these applications often face longer processing times due to lower priority.
Parents: you can petition for your mother and father.
Siblings: You can petition for your siblings to join you in the United States.
While some immigration applications can take a significant amount of time to process, Colombian citizens may be eligible for the Family Reunification Parole program. This program allows individuals or families with pending immigration applications, who are specifically invited by the United States immigration authorities, to wait for their Green Card approval within the United States—bypassing the usual requirement to remain in Colombia during the later stages of the process.
