Immigration laws in Florida and the rest of the U.S. have recently undergone some meaningful adjustments. The point of these changes has been to make it easier for certain non-citizens who are family members of a U.S. citizen to get their green card. These new laws are based on family relations of immigrants.
Your family members can get a green card
Family immigration and citizenship laws have been adjusted to allow spouses, minor children, and parents of U.S. citizens to become permanent residents. It clears the way for them to get their green card so that they can get started on their way to becoming naturalized as citizens.

There are two types of second preference visas. F2A is for spouses and children of lawful permanent residents. They must be unmarried and under 21 years old. F2B is for unmarried sons and daughters who are over 21 years of age.
