Has your immediate relative petitioned you to come to the United States and then passed away suddenly and your I-130 has been denied due to the death of your immediate relative? The best option for you would be the Humanitarian Reinstatement which makes it possible for you to have the I-130 reinstated so you don't have to start the immigration process all over again. Assuming you and the Substitute Sponsor will experience hardship if your I-130 is not reinstated, and the hardship is documented, the Humanitarian Reinstatement will have the best chance for approval. It includes all relevant cover letters, forms, exhibits, and supporting evidence. It has been prepared by an expert Immigration attorney. Thus this book will allow you to see a guide of how it's done, prepared and submitted.

Ready to Petition your Spouse? In this case, if you are a Lawful Permanent Resident and you are petitioning your spouse, it will be considered a Second Preference Petition and you can move on to the next step the moment it becomes current to either adjusting status or consulate processing. The first part must be done and must be done properly to ever proceed to the next part. For those living in the U.S., the processing time is currently 14-26 months. For immediate relatives (spouse, unmarried child under 21 or parent) of a U.S. citizen living abroad, the wait times for Form I-130 are currently between 9-13 months. For those living in the U.S., the processing time is currently 14-26. Thus, you want to make sure it is done properly to not waste time with returns or requests for evidence.    Without a proper I-130 application there will never be a Green Card. If approved, then you could move onto the next step in the Immigration process. If not approved, it will take years of red tape. Remember, it is your responsibility to submit everything correctly. This sample I-130 Petition has everything necessary to give you the best chance possible to get approval. Just input your own information and use the application as a guide. It has been prepared by an expert Immigration Attorney. Thus, this book will allow you to see a guide of how it is done, prepared and submitted. Form I-130 (officially called the “Petition for Alien Relative”) establishes that a valid family relationship exists between a U.S. citizen or green card holder and a person seeking a green card. This form is often simply referred to as the “I-130 petition.”    Filing the I-130 petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is the first step in the family-based green card process.    In the context of a marriage visa or spousal visa, the I-130 petition is filed to prove that your marriage is legally valid (based on a marriage certificate). This is also the phase of the marriage-based green card process in which you submit documents (for example, joint bank account statements, joint insurance documents, and photos together) to prove that your marriage is “authentic” — that is, it isn’t based on fraud.    As an Immigration Lawyer, we are very aware of the red tape and the multiple items that could go wrong with any petition and/or application. Thus, this example should provide you with a very clear path with which you can use to prepare your own I-130 Petition to proceed forward. The sample petition spouse will give lots of great information and a significant amount of information and data that will comply with the requirements. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary spouse petition, then this is the next best thing. Follow it carefully and closely and you will have a real chance of realizing your dream to stay inside the United States. Note that the adjudicating officer at USCIS is not your friend or the Consulate Officer at the U.S. Consulate deciding whether you should get this visa or status. Thus, you need to completely and properly document and prepare your spouse petition. You must properly either get legal representation via an attorney or represent yourself. Either way, if you qualify for this, you must make it as strong as possible. We certainly hope you find this petition useful and helpful and hope for the best immigration experience you can have. We do have petitions on every subject area of immigration, and you might look at those if needed as well. If you do need to have a consultation, you can call our U.S. Immigration Law office at 562-495-0554 for an initial free consultation to determine what must be done to help you and your family.

As an Immigration Lawyer, we are very aware of the red tape and the multiple items that could go wrong with any particular petition and/or application. Thus, this example should provide you a very clear path with which you can use to prepare your own Sibling Petition in order to proceed forward.

Note that it is not an automatic grant and it is not just filling out some forms. This is your burden to prove to the immigration officer and to convince that officer you should be reinstated even after falling out of status. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary Sibling Petition, then this is the next best thing. Follow it carefully and closely and you will have a real chance of realizing your dream to stay inside the United States and continue your education.

Either way, if you qualify for this, you must make it as strong as possible. As a sibling of a US citizen, I understand how important it is to be reunited with family. However, the process of bringing siblings to the United States can be a long and complicated one. In this article, I will explain the I-130 processing time for sibling immigration petitions in 2021, factors that can affect processing time, tips for speeding up the process, and what to do if your petition is taking longer than expected. Sibling immigration petitions are a way for US citizens to bring their brothers and sisters to the United States. It is important to note that only US citizens can petition for their siblings. Permanent residents are not eligible to file a sibling immigration petition. Additionally, the sibling must be unmarried and over the age of 21. The process of filing a sibling immigration petition involves submitting Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form establishes the relationship between the US citizen and their sibling and serves as the first step in the immigration process. The I-130 form is a petition that establishes a family relationship between a US citizen and their sibling. The form must be completed accurately and submitted to USCIS along with supporting documents, such as birth certificates and marriage certificates. Once USCIS receives the I-130 form, they will review it to ensure that it is complete and accurate. If there are any issues or missing information, USCIS will request additional documentation or clarification. If the I-130 form is approved by USCIS, it will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further processing. The NVC will then send the petition to the US embassy or consulate in the sibling's home country, where they will be interviewed and screened for eligibility for a visa to enter the United States. The processing time for sibling immigration petitions can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. In general, USCIS estimates that the processing time for an I-130 form is between 7 and 15 months. We certainly hope you find this petition useful and helpful and hope for the best immigration experience you can have. We do have petitions on every subject area of immigration, and you might look at those if needed as well. If you do need to actually have a consultation, you can call our U.S. Immigration Law office at 562-495-0554 for an initial free consultation to determine what must be done to help you and your family.

In this case, you have your Green Card and it will be considered a Second Preference Petition and you can move on to the next step the moment it becomes current to either adjusting status or consulate processing. The first part must be done and must be done properly in order to ever proceed to the next part. Without a proper I-130 application there will never be a Green Card. If approved, then you could move onto the next step in the Immigration process. If not approved, it will take years of red tape. You might be able to 'lock' your child's age in as younger than 21 as well. Remember, it is your responsibility to submit everything correctly. This sample I-130 Petition has everything necessary to give you the best chance possible to get an approval. Just input your own information and use the application as a guide.

Ready to Petition your Parent?

You can move on to the next step the moment it is approved to either adjusting status or consulate processing. The first part must be done and must be done properly in order to ever proceed to the next part. Without a proper I-130 application there will never be a Green Card. If approved, then you could move onto the next step in the Immigration process. If not approved, it will take years of red tape. Remember, it is your responsibility to submit everything correctly.

Once a United States Citizen Son or Daughter reaches 21 years old, they are eligible to petition their parents for lawful permanent residency. This is an immediate relative petition which means that there is no waiting times for the visa number to become current and it is just processing times. If this is done, it will permit your parents to come to the U.S. or to stay in the U.S. and to become residents. This example petition will help significantly in that regard. While the petition can go forward, if your parent is inside the United States, then your parent may need a waiver of inadmissibility for fraud, crimes or unlawful status. You can check out our other books for samples of these waivers. Should you want a petition where the parent petitions a child or son or daughter, this would be under a different type of petition with a different category of visa waiting time. We have samples of those as well.

Ready to Petition your Spouse? In this case, are you a US Citizen and you are petitioning your spouse, it will be considered an Immediate Relative Petition and you can move on immediately (or even simultaneously) to adjusting status or consular processing. The first part must be done and must be done properly in order to ever proceed to the next part. Without a proper I-130 application there will never be a Green Card. If approved, then you could move onto the next step in the Immigration process. If not approved, it will take years of red tape. Remember, it is your responsibility to submit everything correctly.

It has been prepared by an expert Immigration Attorney. Thus, this book will allow you to see a guide of how it is done, prepared and submitted. In order to initially even be considered for this type of visa, you will need to make sure that first there is a U.S. Citizen and that in fact the foreign national has legal authority to adjust status in the United States. While there are several requirements and this type of visa with its petition will try to show all those requirements, you cannot even begin if you are not a citizen of the United States. While it would be better and more effective to use an experienced attorney, it is clear that many times people just do not have the funds to retain an attorney. Therefore, note that this marriage petition from a United Citizen to a spouse is made by an experienced immigration lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience. It is real and it was actually submitted. You can put your own facts and information in this petition, and note that it will be a very good sample for you to proceed with the marriage petition for yourself. The sample USC Marriage Petition will give lots of great information and a significant amount of information and data that will comply with the requirements. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary Marriage Petition, then this is the next best thing. Follow it carefully and closely and you will have a real chance of realizing your dream to stay inside the United States. Note that the adjudicating officer at USCIS is not your friend or the Consulate Officer at the U.S. Consulate deciding whether you should get this particular visa or status. Thus, you need to completely and properly document and prepare your Marriage Petition. You must properly either get legal representation via an attorney or represent yourself. Either way, if you qualify for this, you must make it as strong as possible. Many times people will think that paying somebody to marry them to get the Green Card is the best and fastest way to obtain legal status. However, that is far from the truth. Marriage fraud, if you are adjudicated to have committed marriage fraud, means that you will not be able to get immigration benefits for the rest of your life. Furthermore, the U.S. Citizen can be criminally prosecuted. Even if no legal action occurs, the US Citizen will be demanding money from you year after year with no end in sight. Additionally, not all people in this situation will qualify for  adjustment of status. For example, if the foreign national committed crimes of moral turpitude or other types of crimes or commits fraud, a Waiver of Inadmissibility will be needed. Alternatively, if the U.S. Citizen committed various sex related crimes, then a Walsh Waiver will be needed to proceed forward. We certainly hope you find this petition useful and helpful and hope for the best immigration experience you can have. We do have petitions on every subject area of immigration, and you might look at those if needed as well.
