International adoption: Can cost between $15,000 and $50,000

The time it takes to get a green card varies based on the category under which you are applying and your country of origin. Family-based green cards can take from a few months to several years, while employment-based green cards also vary widely. The process includes application submission, processing, and possibly an interview. Total time could range between 10 to 23 months until you’ve been granted approval for a Green Card.

How do I know if I am eligible for a family-based immigration petition?

Eligibility for family-based immigration petitions depends on your relationship to the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident sponsor. Immediate relatives such as spouses, children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens have a straightforward process, while other family relationships may have different requirements and wait times.
