What Is an F3 Visa?
Unlike the F1 visa, the F3 visa is a Family Based Green Card that allows U.S. citizens to bring their children, who are settled in foreign countries, to the United States. The F3 visa is categorized alongside the F2A, F2B, and F4, as a Preference Relative visa, and is applicable for married children, their spouses, and minor children as well. It does not, however, include grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.
