Fillable Form I-130 | Petition for Alien Relative Immigration to U.S.

Fillable PDF

A USCIS I-130 form is used for the purpose of sponsoring a relative of your immediate family for entry into the US. This would include sponsoring a sibling, child, spouse or parent for United States alien residency. As you have obtained the form and have it before you, you must read through the instructions carefully before you will be able to complete this form. It is important that you do not place any marks in the top box as this box is only for the sole use of the USCIS. In box A you will identify the relationship you have to whom you are petitioning. As well, you need to specify as to whether this is an adoptive or natural relationship. Again, remember you must complete a form i-130 for each individual you will petition for.
