I-130 Lawyer Los Angeles

While the process can be a bit confusing, working with an I-130 lawyer in Los Angeles can make the path a bit more clear.

 

Let us help you to sponsor your loved ones so they can join you in beautiful Los Angeles.

 

Permanent residents of Los Angeles can help their immediate family get a faster path to getting a green card. While filing form I-130 doesn’t automatically guarantee your family members’ lawful residency in the United States, it is the first step in the process. As a green card holder or naturalized citizen, you can petition to bring your loved ones to the U.S.


Let us help you help your family to enter and remain in the United States legally.

Help Petition Your Loved Ones and Bring Them to Los Angeles with Confidence

Once you’ve established residency in the United States, you can begin your new life in the land of opportunity. However, many immigrants feel that their dream hasn’t been fully fulfilled due to the lack of close family members nearby. A new life in a new country can be exciting, but without your loved ones by your side, you may feel as if something is missing.

 

If keeping your family together is important to you but you’re afraid of the process to do so, let an experienced I-130 lawyer guide you to keeping your close-knit family close. One of the benefits of permanent residency is the power to file USCIS Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative).

Form I-130 Filing Can Often Be Complicated and Confusing

But how do you file form I-130 to petition for your family to legally immigrate to the States? If you had a difficult and challenging experience getting your green card, you can probably only imagine the stress involved with helping your family get theirs. What happens if you don’t fill out the I-130 properly? What if you’ve omitted some required information? These are just some of the worries you could be facing.

 

Here’s a look at the Petition for Alien Relative process:

 

  1. File Petition for Alien Relative: The first step in bringing your family to join you in Los Angeles is to file form I-130. Filing out this form accurately while also supplying all required supporting documents is key to acceptance.
  2. USCIS Processing: The USCIS will go over your application to ensure its accuracy and verify the proof you’ve provided of a familial relationship. Any errors or omissions will cause significant delays in processing.
  3. National Visa Center Processing: Once your Petition for Alien Relative application is approved, it will be forwarded to the NVC. A case number will be assigned, and your family member will be given a date for a face-to-face interview at their closest U.S. embassy or consulate. You will need to file Form I-864 to prove that you can financially support your family members, and they will need to file Form DS-260 to apply for a visa to enter the United States.
  4. Entry to the United States: Once approved, your family member will be issued a visa to enter the country. A few weeks after their arrival, they’ll receive their green card.

Eligibility for Filing Form I-130

For U.S. citizens, you can petition for the following family members:

 

  • Spouse
  • Unmarried children under the age of 21
  • Parents

Other family members can be included. However, there are annual limits as to how many visas will be granted. Other eligible family members include:

 

  • Unmarried sons and daughters (21 years or older)
  • Married sons and daughters (any age)
  • Siblings

Green card holders can petition for these family members:

 

  • Spouse
  • Unmarried children under the age of 21
  • Unmarried sons and daughters (21 years or older)

Due to the ever-changing nature of U.S. immigration regulations, for further clarification, consult with an I-130 Los Angeles attorney.
