Marriage / Family Based Petition (I-130)
An I-130 petition is to be filed by a United States Citizen on behalf of a non-citizen relative to immigrate to the United States and obtain a green card.
As the petitioner, we must indicate whether the beneficiary requests adjustment of status from inside the United States or consular processing outside the United States.
If your Form I-130 is still pending with USCIS and you want to change your selection, we may contact the USCIS Contact Center and request a change.
Who is eligible to file an I-130?
A U.S. Citizen may file for:
- Spouse
- Unmarried children under 21 years of age
- Unmarried sons or daughters 21 years of age or older
- Married sons or daughters of any age
- Brothers or sisters (you must be 21 years of age or older)
- Mother or Father (you must be 21 years of age or older)
