Q: Need help with for I 135 petition for my daughter?

A: More information is needed. Are you a citizen or lawful permanent resident?

Some children are required to wait years, even a decade, or longer, due to quotas that limit lawful immigration.

This wait seems due to artificial and politically driven funding shortages imposed by Congress. These funding misappropriations create chaos and restrict lawful immigration.

I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications.

A: If you are a green card holder and your daughter is unmarried, you can sponsor her for a green card. Start by filing form I-130. https://www.shusterman.com/immigration-forms-free-download/

A: To petition for your daughter through Form I-130, you can follow these general steps:

Determine eligibility: As a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you can file an I-130 petition for your unmarried child over the age of 21. Make sure your daughter meets the eligibility requirements, such as being unmarried and having a qualifying relationship with you as your biological or adopted child.

Prepare the required documents: Gather the necessary supporting documents for the I-130 petition. This typically includes proof of your status as a green card holder (copy of your green card), your birth certificate or other proof of your relationship with your daughter, your daughter's birth certificate, and any other relevant documentation as specified by the USCIS instructions.

Complete Form I-130: Fill out Form I-130 accurately and thoroughly. Provide all the required information about yourself and your daughter, and sign the form. Ensure that you include the correct filing fee or fee waiver request.

Submit the petition: Mail the completed Form I-130, supporting documents, and payment to the USCIS Lockbox designated for your location. Be sure to use the most up-to-date mailing address, which can be found on the USCIS website or the form instructions.

Monitor the progress: After submitting the petition, you will receive a receipt notice from USCIS. This notice will have a unique receipt number that you can use to track the progress of your case online through the USCIS website.

Follow further instructions: USCIS may request additional evidence or documentation to support your petition. Make sure to respond promptly and provide the requested information.

Wait for USCIS decision: USCIS will review your petition and make a decision. If approved, your daughter's case will move forward to the next steps in the immigration process. If USCIS needs more information or documentation, they may request it from you.

It is important to note that immigration processes can be complex, and the specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on individual circumstances. It is advisable to consult with an immigration attorney to ensure that you understand the process fully and to receive personalized guidance based on your specific situation.
