Can I include my daughter-in-law or son-in-law in the EB-4?

The EB-4 visa is targeted at specific categories of special immigrants, and, as with many immigration processes, there are clear rules about who can be included as a derivative beneficiary.

Generally, the dependents who may accompany or follow the visa holder are the spouse (or legally recognized partner) and unmarried children under the age of 21. This means that, for the EB-4, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law are not listed among the eligible dependents.

Each case has its particularities, but the basic rule is that only those who qualify as spouse or child can be automatically included in the process. If there is interest in including other family members, there may be alternative pathways, but these will depend on other immigration categories and will have additional requirements.

It is always essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws, avoiding dubious proposals or guarantees of guaranteed results. Consulting a reliable source or recognized specialists can help clarify doubts and avoid complications during the process. Remember the importance of seeking updated information and ensuring that the procedures adopted comply with current regulations. This way, you protect yourself against scams and misleading marketing campaigns, ensuring the process is carried out safely and correctly.
