Immigrant Petition •
At Sueño Monarca, we know that every immigration journey starts with a single step. For many, that's an Immigrant Petition. This is a formal application you file with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to officially request an immigration visa for a foreign-born family member or employee.
Think of it as the foundational document that begins the legal process. Filing this petition doesn't automatically grant a visa, but it's a critical step that establishes eligibility and allows your loved one to move forward in their immigration journey.
Key Details for Your Journey
Who Files It? The person filing the petition is called the "petitioner." This must be either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (LPR).
Who Is Sponsored? The person you're helping is the "beneficiary." This can be a family member or, in certain cases, an employee.
Which Form to Use: The specific form depends on your relationship to the beneficiary. For example, the I-130 is used to petition for close family members like spouses, children, or parents, while the I-140 is used for employment-based cases.
Navigating the immigration process can be complex, but with Sueño Monarca, understanding the purpose of the Immigrant Petition is a clear and crucial starting point.
