USA family sponsorship enables citizens and permanent residents (green card holders) to bring a spouse, children, parents or siblings to the USA to reunite and obtain a green card.
Applications fall into 2 groups: Immediate Relatives of U.S. citizens — no visa cap, processed quickly; and Family Preference categories (F1–F4) — subject to an annual quota, so you must wait according to the Visa Bulletin.

Quy trình I-130 → NVC → phỏng vấn
Step 1 — File Form I-130
The sponsor files a Petition for Alien Relative with USCIS, proving the relationship.
Step 2 — Transfer to NVC
Once the I-130 is approved, the case is transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC).
Step 3 — Submit DS-260 + I-864
File the permanent residence application, submit the civil documents and the Affidavit of Support (financial sponsorship).
Step 4 — Consular interview
At the US Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, including a medical examination.
Step 5 — Entry & receiving the Green Card
The green card is mailed to you after you enter the USA.

Frequently asked questions about Family Sponsorship to the USA
How long does Family Sponsorship to the USA take?
The Immediate Relative (IR) category of U.S. citizens has no visa cap and so is processed quickly; the F1–F4 preference categories have quotas and so must wait by priority date on the Visa Bulletin, potentially for many years.
Whom can a permanent resident (green card holder) sponsor?
Permanent residents can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children (categories F2A, F2B). Sponsoring parents, siblings or married children is available only to USA citizens.
Who must file the Affidavit of Support I-864?
The sponsor files an I-864 undertaking to provide financial support, proving income meets the minimum for the household size; if short, an additional joint sponsor may be needed.
How long is the wait for the F4 sibling sponsorship category?
Due to low quotas and high application volumes, the F4 category usually involves a wait of many years. Check the current priority date on the Visa Bulletin before deciding to file your application.
