Petitions for Family
(Spouses, Parents, Children, Adult Children, Brothers or Sisters)
US Citizens and US Lawful Residents that are Green Card holders are allowed to sponsor immigration visas to family members such as spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
There are an unlimited number of visas made available for people with immediate relation to US Citizens and US Lawful Residents, but a limited number of visas extended to this with distant relation to US Citizens and US Lawful Residents. US Citizens are allowed to sponsor immediate relatives, while lawful residents of the US are only able to file petitions on behalf of immediate relatives.
To begin the process, a petition I-130 must be filed with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services by the US Citizen or Permanent Lawful Resident. The petition must include specific I-130 paperwork as well as documents completed by both the sponsor and the future immigrant.
