Immigrating to the
United States and to live here permanently is an important, and complex
decision. Bill Rivera, an Orlando and Central Florida Immigration
attorney & lawyer focuses his law practice on helping foreign citizens
desiring to permanently immigrate to determine the visas, requirements,
and related materials they will need to apply to immigrate to the United
States. For information on who can immigrate to the U.S., contact our immigration
law office at
407.536.7123.
We will assist you
in being properly informed regarding visa forms, the Affidavit of
Support, other requirements, and related materials for immigrants. In
general, to apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen must be
sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative(s), U.S. lawful permanent resident,
or by a prospective employer, and be the beneficiary of an approved
petition. Therefore, a first step is filing a petition with U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which we are well equipped
to assist you with.
Petitions Required to
be Filed in the U.S.: American citizens and lawful permanent
resident sponsors residing in the United States file I-130 petitions at
the USCIS Service Center which has jurisdiction over their geographic
place of U.S. residence.
Filing Petitions
Abroad: Petition Form I-130, which can be filed abroad are limited.
Petitions for immediate relative immigrant classifications can be filed
abroad by American citizen petitioners who have been authorized to be
continuously resident in their consular districts for at least the
preceding six months, including members of the U.S. armed forces,
emergency cases involving life and death or health and safety, and
others determined to be in the national interest. Petitions are filed
with USCIS abroad or at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate (when there is no
USCIS presence).
After the immigrant
petition filed in the U.S. has been approved by USCIS, the petition is
forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. NVC plays
an important role in the next steps of the U.S. immigration process.
NVC provides instructions to petitioners and sponsors, and receives from
sponsors, the required Affidavit of Support forms, fees, other required
documents, and much more. For numerically limited family preference
petitions, NVC contacts the petitioner once the petition’s immigration
wait nears end, and the
priority date is
about to come
current.
