Immediate Relative Petition Simplifieds

If you are a U.S. citizen, you can help your closest family members get a visa to live in the U.S. This is called an immediate relative petition. These visas are always available. This means your family members can get their green card faster and with fewer delays.

Your immediate relatives are your husband or wife, your parents, and your unmarried children or stepchildren under the age of 21.

At Coleman Law Group, we make the immediate relative petition process easy by guiding you through every step.

How Can We Help with an Immediate Relative Immigrant Visa Petition?

With an immediate relative petition, U.S. citizens can sponsor their closest family members to get a visa. Visas for immediate relatives are always available, unlike family preference category visas. This means that your immediate relatives can get a visa faster and easier, making the green card application process smoother.

Your immediate relatives are:

• Your husband or wife
• Your parents
• Your unmarried children or stepchildren under the age of 21

The experienced and friendly immigration law team at Coleman Law Group is ready and able to help you. We take care of everything when making petitions for immediate relatives. We can also help you prepare Form I-130, track your case progress with the USCIS, and deal with the National Visa Center.

Our attorneys provide the best support for your relatives living outside the U.S. Our comprehensive services ensure that everything is handled easily, even consular processing or adjustment of status applications.

Who Can File an Immediate Relative Petition?

U.S. Citizens Can File For:

1.) Spouses

These are the legally married partners of existing U.S. citizens.

2.) Unmarried Children Under 21

You can file a petition for your biological, step, or adopted children to join you in the U.S.

3.) Parents

As long as you (the petitioner) are at least 21 years of age.

Don’t worry if your relative is already in the U.S. It may be possible for them to apply for adjustment of status using Form I-485. If they are currently outside the United States, we can help them with consular processing at a U.S. consulate.
