The process known as family reunification allows immigrants who have already become citizens or permanent residents to apply for permanent residence visa for their immediate family members.
The processing time depends on the family relationship and also on the legal status of the sponsor. It usually varies between 6 to 18 months.
If the relative is outside the United States, he or she may obtain permanent residence through a consular procedure, in which the interested party must apply for a visa using Form I-130.
TPS allows beneficiaries to live and work in the United States for the duration of the crisis in their country, without fear of being placed in deportation proceedings. Also, the Department of Homeland Security cannot detain them
because of their immigration status.
To register or re -register to TPS, you must file Form I-821
