Immediate Relative Petitions

Immediate Relative Petitions: Family-Based/Immediate Relative Petitions

A U.S. citizen or LPR may petition for his or her children (under 21 years), spouse, or parents. Once the I-130 Immediate Relative Petition is approved, the relative may adjust status to become a legal permanent resident. A spouse or child who is subjected to extreme cruelty or battery may self-petition.
