I am currently married to a US citizen and am applying for a green card.
I heard that if I get a green card, it will be valid for 2 years at first, but is it possible to apply for a green card for my family members by sponsoring them to come here with that green card ？
I would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this.

Hello.

I am a green card holder.

I read here once that a green card holder husband （ who has lived in Hawaii or mainland US for decades and has a house ）

is waiting several years to bring his wife who lives in Japan.

He can't bring his family over with Temporary card yet, but he will be able to

smoothly after he gets his citizenship.

If you look up "Can conditional green card holder support family immigration?" you will find a lot of things.

A quick look shows that children can, but not parents.

For your information.

After a little more research, it seems that the only difference between a conditional GC and a regular GC is basically the expiration date. It seems that
GC holders can only call in their spouses and unmarried children （ unmarried adults ・ adults ）.

Thank you all.
By the way, is it possible to apply for citizenship about 3 years after getting a temporary green card ？
I heard that it would be faster to bring my family over after citizenship.
I would appreciate your opinion.
Thank you very much.

I have heard that you can take the test for citizenship 5 years after you receive your real green card, not a temporary one.

For your information.
