Purpose of Form :
For citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States to establish the relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States. Note: 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.
U.S. citizen may file form I-130 for:
  • A child – either unmarried or married and at any age
  • Parents
  • Brother or sisters
  • Spouse
  • Fiance
Legal permanent resident (greencard holders) may file form I-130 for:
  • A child – unmarried at any age
  • Spouse
How many I-130 petitions you can file:
  • You may file one I-130 petition for each relative you intend to immigrate, including the children of immigrating relatives. You may sponsor as many relatives as you wish, as long as you can meet the I-864 financial requirements to do so.
Filing Fee :
$355
