Family Petition for Residency
Our Family Petition Services:
U.S immigration laws allow spouses and family members of U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) to become a resident through the family petition process. The immigration petition qualifications will differ based on the family member’s relationship. You may petition for the following:
- Spouse (husband or wife)
- Parent or Child
- Sibling (brother or sister)
How The Immigration Petition Process Works:
The process begins by filing a Form 1-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to establish your relationship with a spouse or family member. This step can be performed online or by paper and must contain supporting documentation and a $535 filing fee.
If the Petition is approved, and your relative currently resides in the United States, they are eligible to file Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. If the Petition is approved and your relative or loved one resides outside of the United States, the National Visa Center will reach out for the next steps.
