Reuniting Families, One Sibling at a Time

Professional Legal Support for Sibling Visas

At U.S. Immigration Law Group, we understand how important it is to keep families together. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping U.S. citizens bring their brothers and sisters to the United States. We provide comprehensive legal support throughout the sibling visa process, ensuring that you can reunite with your loved ones as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Sibling Visas: F-4 Family Preference Visas

The F-4 visa allows U.S. citizens to sponsor their siblings for lawful permanent residency. Our legal team is committed to guiding you through the application process, from preparing the petition to navigating consular interviews, ensuring your family is reunited quickly and with minimal stress.



  • Eligibility Requirements: To sponsor a sibling, you must be a U.S. citizen over the age of 21. We help you understand the specific eligibility criteria, including the required documentation, and ensure that your petition is thoroughly prepared.

  • Filing the Petition: Our attorneys assist you in filing Form I-130, the petition for alien relative, ensuring that all information is accurate and complete to avoid delays in processing.

Navigating the Visa Bulletin and Priority Dates

One of the complexities of the F-4 visa process is the wait time due to the limited number of visas available each year. We help you understand the Visa Bulletin and how priority dates work, so you can be informed and prepared throughout the process.


  • Understanding Priority Dates: After filing your petition, your case will receive a priority date, which determines your place in line for a visa. We keep you informed of your case’s status, provide guidance on what to expect as you await your sibling’s visa and notify you as soon as the priority date becomes current.

  • Consular Processing: Once your sibling’s priority date becomes current, we assist with the consular processing stage, including preparing for the required interview and gathering all necessary documentation.
