What family members can a permanent resident petition for?

I often receive questions from readers. Generally, I try to answer them through Inmigración Hoy or my column Migratory Consultation. One of the most frequently asked questions is how to ask a family member.

This question depends on several factors, including the legal status of the person filing the petition.

In the video below A New DayI explain which family members a permanent resident can petition for. I also emphasize the importance of becoming a U.S. citizen, because once an immigrant is a citizen, it facilitates and expedites the process of family petitions.

And finally, I talk about the information you can get from my book La Tarjeta Verde: Cómo Obtener la Residencia Permanente en los Estados Unidos (Green Card: How to Obtain Permanent Residence in the United States).
