What is it?
The Alien Relative Petition is filed with the government so a relative can obtain an immigration benefit based on their relationship with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
Who qualifies?
- Spouse.
- Single or married children.
- Parents (if the petitioner is a citizen and at least 21 years old).
- Siblings (only in certain cases for citizens).
How we help
We prepare the petition and guide you through the next step —adjustment of status within the U.S. or consular processing abroad— because petition approval alone does not grant residency.
Frequently asked questions
No. After approval, the relative must complete adjustment of status or consular processing to obtain the green card. We guide you through that step.
