Can I bring my family with me to the U.S.?

Yes, you can bring your family with you to the United States if you are legally allowed to come here as an immigrant. In Hawaii, family members of an immigrant may be eligible to travel to the United States and are known as “derivative beneficiaries.” Derivative beneficiaries are usually spouses and minor children of someone who has already obtained an immigrant visa. A husband and a wife of a U.S. citizen can also be considered derivative beneficiaries and may be eligible to immigrate to the U.S. In addition, siblings of U.S. citizens over the age of 21 can also be considered derivative beneficiaries. Family members of someone who has a “green card” can also be eligible to be granted immigration status. Additionally, fiancées of U.S. citizens can also be considered for immigration. In order to bring your family with you to the United States, you must file an application with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It is important to note that it is not guaranteed that your family members will be granted an immigrant visa in Hawaii. Waivers and appeals may be needed in order to receive an immigrant visa. It is also important to note that derivative beneficiaries must meet eligibility requirements. They must be admissible to the United States and must also pass a criminal background check. Additionally, they must be able to demonstrate that they have the financial means to support themselves in the United States. It is highly recommended that you speak with an immigration lawyer or professional to better understand the laws and regulations that apply to your case. Doing so can ensure that you and your family members are in compliance with Hawaiian and US immigration laws.
