Migrating to the U.S. — Immigrant Visas

In General

The three principal ways to immigrate to the United States are through a family relationship, through employment, or through investment. In all cases, the immigration process requires that a petition be filed on behalf of the migrant. The petition is usually filed in the United States through the Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) office having jurisdiction over the residence or employment area of the petitioner. After the petition is approved, it is forwarded to the Consulate or Embassy where the beneficiaries reside and where they will submit applications for their immigrant visas.

About U.S. Passports
Each individual, regardless of age, must travel on his/her own passport. Children cannot be included on a parent's U.S. passport. Even though you may also hold a foreign nationality passport, U.S. laws require all U.S. citizens (regardless of age) to enter and depart the United States on a valid U.S. passport at all times. There is no guarantee of entry to the United States without a U.S. passport, and no U.S. visas shall be issued on a foreign nationality passport of a U.S. citizen.
