Green card holders can sponsor certain family members for immigration. A green card holder can petition for their spouse, unmarried children under 21 years old, or an unmarried son or daughter of any age. There are different preference categories, and an unmarried child under 21 is given higher preference. The process may take longer compared to U.S. citizens sponsoring family members, and there are annual limits on available visas.
