Can I Bring My Family With Me When I Immigrate To The USA As A Medliant USRN?

A frequently asked question from Medliant applicants is, "can I bring my family with me when I immigrate to the USA as a Medliant USRN?"

Yes! It is important to know that there are a variety of different visas US immigrants can be issued, each with unique benefits or privileges. Some allow for family sponsorship, while others do not. Medliant, understands the importance of being a family-oriented staffing agency, and in doing so only sponsors USRN applicants on EB3 or Employment Based 3rd Preference Green Card Visas, which allows for specific family member sponsorship privileges.

“Which family members can join me to begin living my American Dream as a Medliant USRN?”

Medliant will automatically sponsor your married spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 years old as dependents of your Green Card Visa, allowing you to immigrate to the USA with your immediate family. Under US immigration, the EB3 Green Card Visa allows qualified candidates to sponsor only their married spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age.

“Can my married spouse find employment in the USA? Can my children attend school in the USA?”

Yes! Because Medliant automatically sponsors your married spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age as dependents of your Green Card Visa, this would allow them to immigrate to the USA as permanent residents as well, giving them the opportunity to seek education or employment in America. With successful sponsorship, your married spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age would have the option to join you when you arrive in the USA. We understand that having family to support you as you immigrate and settle into the USA can help facilitate a smooth and successful transition!

“If I get my US Citizenship, can I then sponsor other family members?”

Yes! If you choose to apply for US Citizenship and are successful in doing so after spending 5 years in the USA as a permanent resident, you will then have the opportunity to apply for sponsorship for your parents and siblings on a Green Card Visa as well. Becoming a permanent resident in the USA is not only a pathway for economic opportunities, such as USRN employment and a high quality of life, but also to citizenship and extended family immigration. As a US citizen if you sponsor your married child, your child will then be able to sponsor their married spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age through their Green Card application process too.

“When are you able to apply for US Citizenship?”

Permanent residents are eligible to apply for citizenship if and when they have spent 5 years as a US permanent resident with the majority of that time spent in the USA, have been married to US citizen for a minimum of 3 years, or if you currently serve in the US military.
