Family Petition
Petitioning for a Relative
Under U.S. immigration law, if you are a United States citizen, or a lawful permanent resident, you may help certain relatives apply to become permanent residents of the United States.
Keeping Families Together
To be able to petition for an Alien Relative, the first step in this process is to file an I-130 form. This form is to prove to the government that the “Beneficiary” (the person you are filing the petition for) is in fact your relative, and not just some random individual.
Most Common Petitions
The following are the most commonly filed petitions:
- Spouse
- Fiancé (through the K-1 visa)
- Parents
- Children or step-children
Petition as a Permanent Resident
If you are a Permanent Resident, you have the ability to file a family petition for your spouse or children, but they will also be subject to visa quotas based on their preference category.
If you (Permanent Resident) later decide to become a United States citizen, then your family petition will be upgraded to a different category, or to an immediate relative petition.
Every petition is different
Every family petition is different which may require slightly different paperwork or procedures.
