Do immediate relatives get moved to the front of the line with green cards?
Asked in Washington, DC - over 1 year
I think I have some understanding that immediate family members are a higher priority than non-immediate, but I'm not sure. .

Thank you for posting your question.
The Immigration & Nationality Act divides different familial relationships into different family-based preference categories, based on whether the petitioning individual is a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident. Some family members will be subject to priority date backlogs and some will be able to be classified as Immediate Relatives.
For a brief understanding of the different family-based preference categories and immediate relative status, please see my website: http://www.familytousa.com/family-preference-ca...
Thank you,
