Has the Family-Based Green Card Stopped?

No, family-based green cards have not been stopped. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continues to accept and process applications for eligible relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. This includes spouses, children, parents, and siblings. While there have been occasional delays or temporary pauses in processing due to administrative backlogs, enhanced vetting, or policy changes, these have not led to a permanent suspension of the program. Family-based immigration remains a core part of the U.S. immigration system, and eligible applicants can still pursue green cards through this pathway.
