What is Family Reunification?
Family reunification—also known as family petitioning—is the family immigration process that allows a US citizen or permanent resident to bring a relative to the country. If you’re wondering what family reunification is, it’s essentially the legal path to applying for an immigrant visa through a family petition and thus obtaining US residency through family petition. Simply put, family reunification exists to reunite families separated by borders.

Types of Family Petitions
Immigration law divides family members into two groups, and the waiting time for a family reunification visa depends on this classification:
Immediate relatives (no visa limit): spouses of citizens, unmarried children under 21, and parents of citizens over 21. They do not wait for a specific number of visas.
Preference categories (with annual quotas): unmarried children over 21 of citizens, spouses and children of permanent residents, married children of citizens, and siblings of citizens.
Requirements for Family Reunification
These are the requirements for family reunification that the petitioner must meet:
Legal status: be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and over 18 years of age to sign the declaration of sponsorship.
Verifiable family relationship: Documents proving the relationship (marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.) along with Form I-130.
Financial requirement: Demonstrate income of at least 125% of the federal poverty level through the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864).
Complete documentation: Proof of citizenship or residency and payment of applicable fees.
