The FB-1 is a first preference visa for unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens who are 21 or older. It allows eligible families to pursue permanent residence in the United States. Unlike visas for immediate relatives, the FB-1 category is subject to annual limits. As a result, many applicants must wait for a visa to become available before they can move forward.
The process often involves several steps. Families may need to file a petition, gather civil records, prove the family relationship, and complete follow-up steps such as interviews or document requests. Small errors can cause delays or other problems.

An FB-1 visa is a family-based first preference immigrant category for the unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens who are 21 or older. Because it is not an immediate relative category, the number of visas available each year is limited.
In general, the beneficiary must be an unmarried son or daughter of a U.S. citizen and must be 21 or older. The process usually begins when the U.S. citizen parent files Form I-130 and shows proof of the family relationship.
There is no fixed timeline for an FB-1 case. USCIS must first review the petition, and many families must then wait for a visa to become available based on the priority date and the Visa Bulletin.
Sometimes. If the beneficiary is already in the United States and qualifies, adjustment of status may be possible. If the beneficiary is outside the country, the case will usually go through consular processing.
Marriage can affect the case. In many situations, it changes the visa category and may affect how the case moves forward.
