I-130 – Petition for Alien Relative

The I-130 Petition for Alien Relative is the first step in helping a qualifying family member immigrate to the United States. This petition establishes the qualifying family relationship between a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and their relative.

​

While the form itself may seem straightforward, eligibility, category, and supporting documentation vary depending on the relationship, immigration status, and whether the beneficiary is inside or outside the U.S. Filing the I-130 correctly from the start is essential to avoid delays or requests for additional evidence.

To guide you through the process, we begin with a questionnaire below. Your answers help us confirm eligibility, identify the correct petition category, and ensure your case is prepared accurately and efficiently.
