IR-1: This visa category is specifically designed for spouses married to a U.S. citizen for two years or more at the time of visa issuance.
CR-1: This category is designed for couples married for less than two years. They get conditional permanent residence; later, is petitioned to remove the conditions after two years.

IR-2 (Unmarried Children Under 21)

This category is introduced for minor, unmarried children of U.S. citizens. The category includes biological children, qualifying stepchildren, and adopted children.

IR-5 (Parents of U.S. Citizens)

U.S. citizens who are 21 or older are allowed to bring their parents to the United States with permanent residency status under this category.

Family-Preference Categories

Family-preference visas are offered to specific qualified relatives of U.S. permanent residents or citizens.

F1 (First Preference):

F2 (Second Preference):

F2A: This category is available for spouses and unmarried minor children (under 21) of U.S. permanent residents.
