What is the Family Petition and why is it key to file everything correctly?
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. A small error, missing evidence, or incomplete form can cause delays of months, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or even denials. Our team guides you at every stage to ensure your petition will advance correctly, quickly, and without unnecessary risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the I-130 Family Petition process take?+
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.
What documents do I need for an I-130 petition?+
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.
What happens if USCIS requests more evidence (RFE)?+
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.
Can I petition for my parents if I am a U.S. citizen?+
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.
What is the difference between the I-130 petition and adjustment of status?+
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.
