US immigration for family members may become faster

Potential immigration reform legislation will mean that family members, including same-sex partners, will be able to gain faster entry to the US. As part of the ongoing efforts at immigration reform in the US, Family based immigration would be given priority and unused visas from previous years will increase the number of visas available.  Currently, family members in some countries have to wait decades to gain entry to the US.

The forthcoming immigration reforms are likely to focus on undocumented workers and ways in which they could legalize their status in the US.
