Applications Required For Green Card Petition

Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative must be obtained by relatives of intending

immigrants who plan to base their immigrant visa applications on family relationship and submit at USCIS office. The petitioning U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident will receive a notice of approval, Form I-797, once USCIS approves the petition. The approved petition will be sent by USCIS to the Immigrant Visa Processing Center, which will contact the intending immigrant with further information.

With the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services the following need to be filed if you are applying to bring your spouse to the U.S. to live:

Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 with all required documentation

Birth certificate or U.S. passport copy showing your name

If you are a U.S. citizen but not by birth a copy of either

your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship or

your U.S. passport

If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR)

a copy of your alien registration receipt card

Two completed and signed G-325A s (one for you and one for your spouse)

A copy of your civil marriage certificate

A copy of any divorce decrees, death certificates, or annulment decrees that would show that any previous marriage entered into by you or your spouse was ended legally

A color photo of you and one of your spouses.

Completing the Petition for Alien Relative

On the bottom left corner of Form I-130 you can locate the form number. The American citizen must complete and sign the form. Two photographs each of both the petitioner and applicant need to be submitted along when the form is filed. A copy of the marriage certificate and any divorce or death certificates showing termination of previous marriages should be submitted to show that the couple is eligible to file.

A copy of his or her citizenship papers or birth certificate should be submitted by the petitioner to prove US citizenship or permanent resident status. Photocopy of green card should be submitted by permanent resident petitioners since the USCIS no longer accepts copies of US Passports as proof of citizenship. Photocopy of the alien spouses birth certificate in English should be attached and if in other languages a certified translation must accompany it.

You would not need to file the Petition for Alien Relative Form I-130 if you are the alien fiance (e) who entered the US on a K-1 visa. File the rest of the forms and attach the approval notice from the consulate together with a copy of the visa and marriage certificate.

Filing Biographic Information Sheet

Two copies of Form G-325A, Biographic Information will be needed filled out one each by you and your spouse. The form provides information about your parents, place of residence, employers of both husband and wife during the past five years, and previous foreign residences, if any. Your own form should be signed and dated before submission. Immigrant Petition not required if your alien fiancee has entered US with K-1 visa.
