For F4, can my nephews be beneficiaries?

The F4 visa is intended for the category of brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens who are at least 21 years old. This type of petition is specifically reserved for the blood relationship between siblings and does not extend to other relatives, such as nephews.

Therefore, according to U.S. immigration law, your nephews do not qualify as direct beneficiaries under the F4 category. This category was created to reunite the immediate family of U.S. citizens” brothers and sisters, and other collateral relatives, like nephews, generally do not meet the required kinship criteria.

It is always important to strictly follow immigration laws and be aware of the complexity of the processes, which can vary according to changes in U.S. rules and policies. It is recommended to seek complete and updated information through official sources and professionals specialized in the subject, thus avoiding scams or marketing campaigns that promise immediate or guaranteed results in obtaining visas.
