"V" Visa - Spouses and Children of Legal Permanent Residents
The American Embassy / Consulates are now issuing V visa to the persons who are the beneficiaries of F2A immigrant visa petitions and have been waiting for an available visa number for at least three years provided the original petition was filed on or before December 20, 2002.
This visa is a non immigrant visa that will allow the qualifying applicant to enter the United States to join the sponsor of their pending immigrant visa while they wait for their immigrant visa priority date to become current.
