One of the most common ways to bring loved ones to the United States is through a family petition visa. If you’re a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be able to sponsor certain relatives to come and live in the U.S. permanently. However, the immigration process is detailed, time-sensitive, and can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re doing it alone.

That’s where we come in. Our family petition visa assistance service is here to help you complete all the paperwork accurately, gather the right documents, and navigate the process step by step so you can bring your family together with confidence.

What Is a Family Petition Visa?

A family petition visa begins with a petition (Form I-130) filed by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to establish a qualifying relationship with a foreign family member. Once approved, this petition opens the door for the family member to apply for lawful permanent residence (a green card).

Family petitions fall into two categories:

1. Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens

This includes:

  • Spouses of U.S. citizens
  • Unmarried children under 21
  • Parents (if the sponsor is over 21)

There is no annual cap on visas for immediate relatives, so these cases typically move faster.

2. Family Preference Categories

This includes:

  • Unmarried sons and daughters (21 or older) of U.S. citizens
  • Married children of U.S. citizens
  • Siblings of U.S. citizens (if the sponsor is over 21)
  • Spouses and unmarried children of lawful permanent residents (green card holders)

These categories are subject to annual limits, which can result in longer wait times depending on the relationship and the country of origin.

Who Can File a Family Petition?

To file a family petition, you must be either:

  • A U.S. citizen, or
  • A lawful permanent resident (green card holder)

The person filing the petition is known as the petitioner or sponsor, and the relative being petitioned is called the beneficiary.

  2. Form I-130 Preparation
    Filing Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) is the first step in bringing your loved one to the U.S. We complete this form on your behalf, based on the information you provide, and ensure that it meets all USCIS requirements.

  • Country of the beneficiary
  • USCIS and National Visa Center (NVC) backlogs

On average:

  • Immediate relatives can expect processing to take 10–18 months.
  • Family preference categories may take several years, depending on the visa bulletin.

We’ll help you understand your specific timeline and keep you updated along the way.

After the Petition: Next Steps
Once your I-130 petition is approved, your relative will either:

  • Adjust status in the U.S. (if they are already legally present), or
  • Apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad

Frequently Asked Questions

To sponsor a family member for a US visa you must file Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative with USCIS. As the petitioner you must be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident. The petition establishes the qualifying family relationship between you and your relative. Once USCIS approves the I-130 your family member can proceed with the visa application through either adjustment of status if they are already in the US or consular processing at a US Embassy abroad. AA Passport & Visa in Richardson TX helps you file the I-130 correctly. Call 972-231-1600.

US citizens can sponsor their spouse, unmarried children under 21, parents, married children of any age, unmarried adult children over 21, and siblings. Lawful permanent residents can sponsor their spouse, unmarried children under 21, and unmarried adult children over 21. Immediate relatives of US citizens such as spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 have no annual visa cap and generally process faster. AA Passport & Visa helps you determine the correct category for your family member and files the petition correctly.

Processing times vary significantly depending on the relationship category and your family member’s country of birth. Immediate relative petitions for spouses, parents, and children under 21 of US citizens typically take 1-2 years from filing to visa issuance. Other family preference categories can take several years due to annual visa caps. AA Passport & Visa helps you file a complete and error-free petition from the start to avoid additional delays. Call 972-231-1600 for current processing time estimates for your specific category.

You will need a completed Form I-130 petition, proof of your US citizenship or permanent residency such as your passport or green card, proof of the qualifying family relationship such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate, proof of any legal name changes, and payment for the USCIS filing fee. Additional documents may be required depending on the relationship category and your family member’s immigration history. AA Passport & Visa reviews all documents at our Richardson TX office before submission to make sure nothing is missing.

The USCIS filing fee for Form I-130 is currently $675 per petition. If your family member is already in the US and filing for adjustment of status simultaneously the I-485 fee is $1,440 for most adults. Additional fees apply for work authorization and travel documents. AA Passport & Visa charges a service fee for petition preparation and document review. Call 972-231-1600 before visiting and we will give you the complete cost breakdown for your specific family petition situation.
