New Family Visitor Visa in the Dignity Act: Reuniting Relatives for 90 Days

The United States may soon introduce a new 90-day family visitor visa, offering a much-needed pathway for foreign nationals to reunite temporarily with loved ones who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders).

This visa category is designed to allow foreign relatives to enter the U.S. for short-term purposes such as family reunions, weddings, funerals, or milestone celebrations.

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, the visitor must:

• Have an immediate family member in the U.S. who is either a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

• Be invited and financially sponsored through an affidavit of support submitted by their U.S.-based relative.

• Secure valid travel health insurance for the duration of their stay.

Important Restrictions

Unlike tourist visas or other non-immigrant categories, this family visitor visa will have specific restrictions:

• The visa holder will not be allowed to adjust status while in the United States.

• It is strictly for temporary visits, with a clear expectation to return after 90 days.

Why This Matters

This initiative aims to bridge the emotional and cultural gap that strict immigration timelines often create. For many immigrant families, attending a parent’s funeral or celebrating a grandchild’s wedding has been a logistical and legal challenge. If approved, this visa could serve as a compassionate and practical solution for many immigrant families seeking short-term reunification.
