Definition
Programs that assist in filing petitions which allow admission, on a temporary basis, of the spouses and dependent children of lawful permanent residents who have made family-based petitions prior to December 21, 2000 for their spouses/children in situations where such petitions have been pending for more than three years. V Visas may also be issued in situations where the family-based petition has been approved but an immigrant visa has not been available for at least three years because of a backlog of visas in this category, delays in consular processing or petitions for adjustment to permanent resident status are still pending.
