Preferred term

family reunification  

Definition

  • Family reunification has long been a cornerstone of U.S. immigration policy. Many advocates and researchers suggest that families should not be separated by using laws that prohibit family members in the country of origin from joining U.S. naturalized citizens or legal permanent residents (LPRs), also known as green card holders.
