What Form Do You Use to Establish the Existence of a Relationship to Relatives Who Wish to Immigrate to the United States?
A citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States may file form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to establish the existence of a relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States.
A separate form must be filed for each eligible relative. USCIS processes Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, as a visa number becomes available. Filing and approval of an I-130 is only the first step in helping a relative immigrate to the United States. Eligible family members must wait until there is a visa number available before they can apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to a lawful permanent resident.
If you are a U.S. Citizen you must file a separate form for each eligible relative. You may file form I-130 for:
A. Your spouse
B. Your unmarried child under age 21.
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older.
D. Your married son or daughter of any age.
E. Your brother(s) or sister (s). ( you must be 21 years of age or older).
F. Your mother or father. ( you must be 21 years of age or older).
If you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you must file a separate form for each eligible relative. You may file form I-130 for:
A. Your spouse
B. Your unmarried child under age 21.
