The Family Petition I-130 is the first step for a U.S. citizen or resident to petition for a family member to obtain permanent residency. It is a crucial process that requires precise forms and correct evidence.

Each family category has different timelines. Verify real options before starting your process.

Evidence requests have strict deadlines. Responding late can result in denial.
Do not use notaries or consultants. Only authorized attorneys can legally handle your case.
"A well-prepared Family Petition is the foundation for achieving family residency safely and quickly."
It depends on the family category and country of origin. U.S. citizens petitioning for spouses, parents, and unmarried minor children have immediate priority. For siblings or other relatives, the wait can be several years.
You will need proof of your legal status in the U.S., documents proving the family relationship (marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.), Form I-130, and filing fees. An attorney will help you prepare the complete package correctly.
An RFE does not mean your case will be denied. You generally have 87 days to respond. A strong and complete response can result in approval. It is essential to have legal representation to respond to an RFE correctly.
Yes. As an adult U.S. citizen (21 or older), you can petition for your parents with no waiting list. However, if your parents are out of status in the U.S., there are additional important considerations.
The I-130 establishes the family relationship. Adjustment of status (I-485) is the next step to obtain a green card if the relative is already in the U.S. If abroad, the process continues through the U.S. consulate.
