Can foreign workers bring their family members to live in America?

Yes! Non-immigrant temporary work visas to the USA usually have an option for the legally married spouse (opposite sex or same sex) and unmarried children under 21 years of age to receive the relevant non-immigrant US visa for family members so they can relocate to the United States to live with the foreign worker. The eligible family members (i.e., legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21-years-old) of a foreign worker who is granted a United States Permanent Resident Green Card can also receive a Green Card to live, study and work in the US long-term. The foreign worker and his/her family members who will relocate to the United States will, of course, have to meet all of the relevant eligibility criteria (for example, security background check, medical exam, etc.). Any minor children under 18 years of age will also need to be legally permitted to relocate to the United States (for example, if there is a custody issue).
