MARRIAGE AND FAMILY-BASED IMMIGRATION

If you are an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (Green Card) based on your family relationship, if you meet certain eligibility requirements.

You are an immediate relative if you are:

• The spouse of a U.S. citizen.
• The unmarried child under 21 years of age of a U.S. citizen; or
• The parent of a U.S. citizen (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age or older).

This page provides specific information for immediate relatives in the United States who want to apply for lawful permanent resident status while in the United States. This is called “adjustment of status.” You should also read the Instructions for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, before you apply.

If you are a widow or widower of a U.S. citizen, please see our webpage on Green Card eligibility of a widow or widower. 

If you are currently outside the United States, see Consular Processing for information about how to apply for a Green Card as an immediate relative.
