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.

And the sponsorship after you get your U.S. citizenship is faster, and if you're sponsored only for a green card, it takes five to 10 years, our immigration attorney told us.

I was in the same situation as midori and got a GC for my 20 year old daughter. I took citizenship and sponsored her. If you and your son have no problems, I think you will be able to get it smoothly in the next 5 years or so.

I know someone who had problems and could not get it. I know someone who was denied a GC because he had a history of working illegally and they found out about it.
Another person I know whose son had an accident and ended up in court was denied as well.
I think it's the same in all countries, they don't bother to give permanent residency to people with problems. I think it is the same in every country, but they don't give permanent residency to people who have problems.

#15 As your green card sponsor said

Certainly everything is faster for citizenship holders than for green card holders.

So would getting married.

If you wait until you get citizenship, it will take more than 6 years before you can call your family.

Even for American men, if their income is low, they are often not issued a green card to a Japanese woman after marriage!

Sorry for the sidebar.
If a Japanese citizen to citizenship holder sponsors a 23 year old child, will it still take longer because he is not under 21 years old ？

Also, if the 23 year old is in Japan, can he enter the US while applying for a green card? ？

Thank you in advance.
