What Is the I-130 Petition?

The I-130 petition (Petition for Alien Relative) is the first step in helping a family member immigrate to the United States. It’s how a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder) establishes a qualifying family relationship with their relative abroad or already in the U.S.

Eligible relationships include:

  • Spouse or fiancé(e)

  • Children (married or unmarried)

  • Parents (for U.S. citizens age 21 or older)

  • Brothers and sisters (for U.S. citizens age 21 or older)

Once approved, the I-130 petition allows your relative to apply for a green card through either Adjustment of Status (inside the U.S.) or Consular Processing (abroad).

With an approved I-130, your family member can:

  • Begin their path toward U.S. permanent residence

  • Apply for a work permit and travel authorization (if adjusting status)

  • Eventually qualify for U.S. citizenship
