V

Certain spouses and children of lawful permanent residents who were beneficiaries of a family-based second preference petition filed before December 21, 2000, and that petition was pending for at least three years, were eligible to receive V non-immigrant visas while awaiting the approval of the petition, availability of an immigrant visa number, or the completion of adjustment of status.

*The V visa is now obsolete, as the statute has never been updated to cover more recent filings.
