How can you Apply for Immediate Relative Green Card?

Family-based is one of the ways that you can get a green card. Basically, it means you have a family member petitioning for you. One of the categories within the family-based category is the immediate relative category. That’s a very common category, and that is for U.S. citizens petitioning for either a spouse, parent, or child. A child is defined as anyone under the age of 21.
