Form I-130 Family Petition Preparation

What is Form I-130?

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is filed with USCIS by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to establish a qualifying family relationship with a relative. It is often the first step toward that relative's immigrant visa or green card — approving the petition does not, by itself, grant either.

Families commonly use it for a spouse, parent, child or sibling. Which relationships and categories apply depends on your situation, and USCIS publishes the current form, edition and instructions on its official Form I-130 page.

OG helps you organize the information and documents so the petition can be prepared accurately: proof of your own status, civil documents such as birth and marriage certificates, records of name changes or earlier marriages, and certified translations of anything not in English. We prepare and organize — we do not decide eligibility or give legal advice, and you review, sign and file the final petition.

Frequently asked questions

Are you an immigration attorney?
No. We provide document preparation and organization support, not legal advice or representation. For legal questions about your case, consult a licensed immigration attorney.
What documents prove a family relationship?
This depends on the relationship — typically certified birth or marriage certificates, and sometimes additional evidence. We'll help you understand what's commonly requested.
Can you translate my documents too?
Yes — see our certified immigration document translation service.
What should I prepare for an I-130 petition?
Proof of your U.S. citizenship or permanent residence, your relative's identity and civil documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate if it applies, records of any earlier marriages) and evidence of the relationship. Bring originals and we will tell you what to copy or translate. The exact evidence depends on your relationship and on USCIS's current instructions.
Does an approved I-130 give my relative a green card?
No. The I-130 only establishes the family relationship. Later steps — such as adjustment of status or consular processing — are separate, and your situation determines which one applies. See the related services below.
Do you file the I-130 for me?
No. We prepare the petition from the information you provide; you review it, sign it and file it with USCIS as the instructions describe.
