I-130 Petition/Interview Florida Attorney

The process of family-based immigration can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to filing the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. At N400 Harbor Immigration Law, we understand the emotional and logistical challenges this process can bring. Our goal is to provide personalized, straightforward guidance every step of the way to help you reunite with your loved ones.

What Is the I-130 Petition?

The I-130 Petition is a key step in helping U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs) sponsor certain family members for immigration to the United States. This form establishes the relationship between the petitioner (the U.S. citizen or LPR) and the beneficiary (the family member seeking a green card).

Filing this petition is the first step in bringing family members to the U.S., but it’s important to approach it with care. Mistakes or incomplete applications can lead to delays or denials. That’s where we come in.

Who Can Be Sponsored Through an I-130 Petition?

The I-130 Petition is designed for family-based immigration, allowing you to sponsor the following relatives:

  • Spouse
  • Unmarried children under 21
  • Married children of any age
  • Parents (if the petitioner is 21 or older)
  • Siblings (if the petitioner is 21 or older)

Each relationship category has specific requirements, and the immigration process can vary depending on whether the beneficiary is inside or outside the United States.

How We Assist with I-130 Petitions?

At N400 Harbor Immigration Law, we’re committed to helping you make the immigration process as smooth as possible. Here’s how we can support you:

Accurate Form Preparation and Filing

The I-130 form may seem straightforward, but even small errors can lead to significant setbacks. We’ll help you fill out the form accurately and ensure all required information is included before filing.

Document Gathering and Evidence

Proving a valid family relationship is critical. We assist in gathering and organizing evidence like marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of shared life events.

Handling Complex Situations

Not all cases are simple. If you’re in a same-sex marriage, have an adopted child, or face unique challenges like previous immigration violations, we provide tailored solutions to address these scenarios.

What Happens During the I-130 Interview?

Once the I-130 Petition is filed, an interview may be required, especially if you’re sponsoring a spouse. Here’s what to expect:

Purpose of the Interview

The interview is designed to confirm the legitimacy of the relationship and ensure all information provided is accurate.

Common Questions

Interviewers may ask about how you met, details of your relationship, and shared experiences. Preparing for these questions can make a big difference.

Our Role in Interview Preparation
