Family Petition Eligibility
Are You and Your Loved Ones Eligible?
The eligibility requirements for a family petition can vary depending on your status and the family member you are sponsoring. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents can petition for specific family members, including:
– Spouse
– Children (under 21 years old)
– Parents
– Siblings (for U.S. citizens)
A Family Petition is the pathway for your family members to obtain a green card for family reunification. The process may differ based on your relationship with the person you wish to sponsor.
The Family Petition Process
Step-by-Step Guide
The Family Petition process can seem overwhelming, but we are here to guide you through it. Here’s an overview of the general steps involved:
- Petition Filing: The U.S. citizen or permanent resident files Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of the family member.
- Document Collection: Gather necessary documents, such as proof of the family relationship, citizenship, and other supporting information.
- Wait for Approval: USCIS processes the petition. This can take several months or longer depending on your relationship and where your family member is located.
- Green Card Application or Consular Processing: After the petition is approved, the family member may apply for a green card either through adjustment of status (if in the U.S.) or consular processing (if outside the U.S.).
Visa Interview: If applying outside the U.S., the family member will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate.
