Family Petition
We help you prepare and organize the documentation for your family petition.
A family petition is the filing through which a citizen or permanent resident asks for their family relationship to be recognized, as the first step in that relative’s immigration process. We prepare and organize the documentation, review the forms before they are submitted, and keep you informed while the petition is pending.
Common situations in family petitions
- Petitions filed by U.S. citizens for certain family members.
- Petitions filed by permanent residents for certain family members.
What we do
- We review the information and documentation you give us and tell you which documents are needed to prepare the requested filing.
- We prepare and complete the forms included in the contracted service.
- We review the file before it is submitted to verify it is complete and well organized.
- We tell you when a notice arrives and explain what the government is asking for.
What we usually need
- Proof of the petitioner’s citizenship or residence.
- Documents proving the family relationship (birth and marriage certificates).
- Identification for both people.
- Address history and personal details for the beneficiary.
How long does it take?
Timelines depend on the type of relationship, the country and the USCIS workload, and they change often. We do not promise deadlines: we show you the times officially published by the government at the moment of your filing.
Frequently asked questions
- Does an approved petition grant residence?
- Not on its own. The petition establishes the family relationship; other stages follow, and they vary depending on the case and where the relative is.
- How do I know whether I can file a petition for my relative?
- Eligibility depends on your particular situation. We do not give legal advice and we do not determine eligibility. If you have doubts about whether you or your relative qualify, you should consult a licensed attorney.
