Family Petitions

FAQS

Who can be sponsored through a family petition?

U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, children (both unmarried and married), parents (if the citizen is at least 21 years old), and siblings. Legal permanent residents can sponsor spouses and unmarried children.

What is the first step in initiating a family petition?

The first step is to file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form establishes the familial relationship between the sponsor and the beneficiary.

What does the preference category mean in family petitions?

Family-based visas are divided into preference categories, which determine the order of priority for visa issuance. Preference categories affect married children of U.S. citizens, siblings of U.S. citizens, and spouses and children of permanent residents. Waiting times vary depending on the category and the beneficiary's country of origin.
