You Should Experience Family Petition Support At Least Once In Your Lifetime — And Here’s Why.
Family Petitions are a legal pathway that allow U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders) to request immigration benefits for close relatives. Whether you are bringing your spouse, child, parent, or sibling, these petitions open the door to family unity and a better life in the U.S.
Our role at Centro de Inmigración is to handle all the legal documents, track your case progress, and communicate with immigration officials on your behalf — so you don’t have to deal with overwhelming paperwork or confusing procedures.
Who Can Apply and Be Petitioned
In a Family Petition, there are two roles:
The petitioner (the U.S. citizen or green card holder), and
The beneficiary (the relative seeking to immigrate).
Eligible Relationships Include:
- Spouse (husband or wife)
- Unmarried children under 21
- Married sons and daughters
- Parents (if the petitioner is over 21)
- Brothers and sisters (for U.S. citizens only)
At Centro de Inmigración, we first confirm that you and your family member meet all eligibility requirements, and we explain every category in plain, understandable language.
Step-by-Step Family Petition Process
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by reviewing your situation in detail and advising you on the best strategy. We gather all personal and legal details necessary to avoid delays.
2. Petition Filing (Form I-130)
Our legal team prepares and submits Form I-130 to USCIS on your behalf, ensuring all supporting documents (birth certificates, marriage licenses, etc.) are accurate and complete.
3. USCIS Review & Approval
USCIS will review the case. If approved, the petition is forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC). We monitor the entire review timeline and update you immediately on progress.
4. Visa Availability & Priority Date Tracking
For certain categories (like siblings or married children), visas are subject to quotas. We track your priority date and keep you informed about when your family member can proceed.
5. Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status
If the beneficiary is outside the U.S., we help them prepare for their consular interview.
If the beneficiary is inside the U.S., we handle their Adjustment of Status (Form I-485).
6. Medical Exam & Interview Preparation
We guide your family member through the required medical exam and help prepare for the consular or USCIS interview with personalized coaching and mock questions.
7. Decision and Green Card Issuance
Once approved, your loved one receives their immigrant visa or green card and is legally welcomed into the U.S.
We remain by your side until the process is fully completed.
