F2A Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents Visa

The F2A visa category is designed for spouses and unmarried children (under 21 years old) of U.S. permanent residents (LPRs) who wish to immigrate to the United States. Below are the key aspects of the F2A visa:

Key Features of the F2A Visa:

1. Eligibility:

• The F2A visa is available to spouses or unmarried children (under 21 years old) of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States.
  
  

2. Priority Date:

• F2A visas are subject to numerical limitations, and their availability is based on priority dates. The priority date is determined by the filing date of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, filed by the LPR on behalf of their spouse or child.
  
  

3. Immigrant Visa Process:

• Once Form I-130 is approved by USCIS, the National Visa Center (NVC) will process the case and schedule an immigrant visa interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy in the applicant’s home country.
  
  

4. Adjustment of Status:

• If the F2A visa applicant is already in the United States and meets eligibility criteria, they may be able to adjust their status to that of a lawful permanent resident without needing to leave the country.
  
  

5. Derivative Status:

• F2A visa holders’ spouses and unmarried children (under 21 years old) are eligible for derivative status and may accompany or follow to join the principal F2A applicant to the United States.
  
  

6. Work Authorization:

• F2A visa holders can apply for work authorization in the U.S. by filing Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with USCIS.
  
  

7. Duration of Stay:

• F2A visa holders are admitted to the U.S. as lawful permanent residents and can live and work in the country indefinitely, as long as they maintain their status and comply with U.S. immigration laws.
  
  

8. Family Unity:

• The F2A visa promotes family unity by allowing spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents to join them in the U.S. and build a life together.
