This page explains how family petitions lawyers in Florida handle the filing that starts a green card case for a relative. It covers what the petition is, what the firm handles, how the steps move, and how to start. Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page. AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on immigration law, including family petitions, adjustment of status and removal defense.<\/p>\n

What a Family Petition Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

A family petition is Form I-130, filed to prove a family relationship to a relative. 8 CFR 204.1<\/a> says a citizen or permanent resident who petitions for a qualifying relative must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.<\/p>\n

The petitioner is the U.S. citizen or green card holder. The beneficiary is the relative. USCIS approves the petition when the petitioner is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or lawful permanent resident and a qualifying relationship exists, as the USCIS family-based petition policy<\/a> explains. The petition comes first. Any green card or visa step comes after.<\/p>\n

Under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1151<\/a>, the term “immediate relatives” means the children, spouses, and parents of a citizen of the United States, except that, in the case of parents, the citizen must be at least 21 years of age. Immediate relatives are the children, spouses and parents of a U.S. citizen. 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1151<\/a> reads: “In the case of an alien who was the spouse of a citizen of the United States and was not legally separated from the citizen at the time of the citizen\u2019s death, the alien (and each child of the alien) shall be considered, for purposes of this subsection, to remain an immediate relative after the date of the citizen\u2019s death but only if the spouse files a petition under section 1154(a)(1)(A)(ii) of this title within 2 years after such date and only until the date the spouse remarries.” For parents, the citizen must be at least 21, under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1151<\/a>. Other relatives fall into family preference categories with annual limits, so the category affects timing.<\/p>\n
