The Family-Based Immigrant Visa allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to sponsor their close family members for permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. This category offers a pathway to reunite families and build a future together in America.

At AK Consultancy, we assist you with every step—from petition filing to NVC processing and embassy interview preparation.

Key Family-Based Visa Categories We Handle:

IR-1 / CR-1 – Spouse of a U.S. Citizen

• IR-1: Issued if the marriage is more than 2 years old
• CR-1: Issued if the marriage is less than 2 years old
  These visas grant conditional or immediate permanent residency. We help prepare your I-130 petition, support documents, and guide your spouse through the entire process.

IR-5 – Parent of a U.S. Citizen

U.S. citizens aged 21 or older can sponsor their biological or adoptive parents under this category. There is no quota limit, and processing is generally faster than other family visas.

F2A – Spouse and Unmarried Children (Under 21) of LPRs

Lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) can sponsor their spouse and children under this preference-based category. Although subject to annual limits, it is one of the fastest-moving preference visas.

F4 – Brothers and Sisters of U.S. Citizens

U.S. citizens (age 21+) can sponsor their siblings through the F4 visa, but wait times can be long due to yearly caps. We help manage expectations and keep your case progressing correctly through the backlog.
