Petition Paths
Who are you sponsoring?
Eligibility, evidence, and processing time depend on your relationship to the beneficiary. Immiva tailors the questions and checklist to your situation.
Unmarried Child Under 21
For citizens, your child is an immediate relative and can pursue a green card without waiting for a visa number. For green card holders, the child falls in category F2A.
No visa waitRead the I-130 guideParent
U.S. citizens age 21 and over can petition for parents. Lawful permanent residents are not eligible to sponsor parents.

Common Questions
I-130 questions, answered
The things people ask most before they petition for a relative.
What does the 19-point pre-filing audit check?
All the checks are listed above, grouped into eligibility and petitioner status, relationship and marriage evidence, beneficiary status and location, and biographic and form integrity. Spouse petitions also run the two I-130A checks. You see the full report before you pay.
Do I also need Form I-130A?
Form I-130A is required when you petition for a spouse. Immiva fills it out automatically from your beneficiary’s information, so there is no second form to learn.
How long will my I-130 take?
It depends on the relationship. Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (a spouse, parent, or unmarried child under 21) have no visa-bulletin wait, while siblings and most petitions filed by green card holders can take years. Immiva shows your category and a realistic timeline before you pay.
Can a green card holder file an I-130, or only citizens?
Both can file, but for different relatives. Citizens can petition for a spouse, child, parent, or sibling; green card holders can petition for a spouse or unmarried child only. Immiva confirms your category before you file.
What proves a bona-fide marriage?
USCIS looks for evidence that you share a real life together, such as joint finances, a shared home, and time spent as a couple, ranked by how much weight officers give each type. Read the bona-fide marriage guide
