What is I-130?

Form I-130 asks USCIS to recognize a family relationship as the basis for immigration. Citizens can petition for spouses, children, parents, and siblings; permanent residents for spouses and unmarried children. Approval does not grant status by itself; it puts the relative in line, immediately for immediate relatives of citizens, or in the dated preference queues for everyone else.

Evidence carries the petition: civil documents proving the relationship and, for marriages, proof the marriage is genuine. Spousal petitions include Form I-130A for the beneficiary’s biography.

Who files I-130?

US citizens petitioning for a spouse, child, parent, or sibling
Green card holders petitioning for a spouse or unmarried child
One petition per relative; each qualifying family member gets their own I-130

How to fill out I-130

Complete the petitioner and beneficiary sections with full biographic details and addresses.
Describe the relationship and, for marriages, prior marriage history for both parties.
Gather civil documents: birth and marriage certificates, divorce decrees, proof of your status.
Download, sign, and file by mail with the current fee, or file online through a USCIS account; check the fee and filing address at uscis.gov first.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an I-130 take?

It varies widely by relationship and service center, from under a year for immediate relatives to many years for sibling preference categories with visa backlogs. USCIS publishes current processing times online.

Can my relative wait in the US?

Only if they are otherwise in lawful status or eligible to adjust. An approved I-130 alone gives no right to stay; consular processing abroad is the default path.
