Our client retained us to petition his parents in China. He was born and raised in China, but was recently naturalized in the United States. He consulted about the timeline and process of bringing his parents over here, and we explained that these types of cases are faster than sibling petitions or those where a parent petitions a son or daughter over 21.
A petition such as the above-mentioned is an example of an immediate relative petition. The main benefit of immediate relative petitions is that visa numbers are always available and not subject to a quota. You don’t have to check the visa bulletin every month to see if the U.S. Consul or the CIS can now process your case. It is already in process. The types of immediate relative petitions are as follows:
- US Citizen spousal petition
- US Citizen parent petitioning a child under 21
- US Citizen son or daughter petitioning a parent (such as this case)
On November 17, 2010, our firm filed the I-130 Petition to the CIS. There were no Requests for Evidence throughout the pendency of the petition. On April 1, 2011, the I-130 Petition was approved. We now move to the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get his parents over to the United States.
