The R visa is intended for religious workers and their qualified family members, generally allowing only the spouse and children under 21 years old through the R-2 visa. This category aims to enable families to share the stay in the USA in accordance with immigration laws.
Family members who do not qualify as R-2 are not automatically entitled to accompany the R visa holder and must seek a visa appropriate to their situation, such as tourist or student.
It is essential to strictly follow US legislation, consult official sources and qualified professionals to avoid legal issues and ensure a secure immigration process. Each case has specific requirements and deadlines that must be carefully observed.
