Petition for my Children

Petition for my children

How can I help my children become Permanent Residents of the United States?

US citizens by birth or naturalization may petition their immediate family members and others.
They can do this by sponsoring the relative through a foreign relative petition and demonstrating that they can support them financially.
To do so, they must present evidence of sufficient income and/or assets.
Family members are categorized into Immediate and Non-immediate. This benefits the priority date for the availability of visa slots for these relatives.

Unmarried children under 21 years of age :

first preference. Corresponds to sons/daughters over 21 years of age, single, of American citizens.
Second preference (2A). Group the spouse of a permanent resident (Holder of a Green Card, and unmarried children under 21 years of age.

2. Unmarried Adult Children:

Second preference (2B). Includes adult and unmarried sons and daughters, holders of a residence card.

3. Married Children :

Third preference. Married sons/daughters, regardless of age, of American citizens.

The process

Filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. The form establishes the relationship between the family member and the petitioner.
The foreign relative who is outside the US will have to wait in their country of origin to be able to emigrate legally.
If you are already in the US, then you can adjust your status to permanent resident.

Petitions from relatives living abroad are sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). After processing the petition, the NVC forwards it to the US consulate in the appropriate country. At that moment the call begins consular process.

What happens after the I-130 is approved?

If you are an immediate relative, such as a parent, spouse, or unmarried child under the age of 21, you can apply immediately (Adjustment of Status).
