USCIS

Family Immigration

Forms for family-based Green Card applications. Includes I-130 (Petition for Relative), I-485 (Adjustment of Status), I-751 (Remove Conditions), and I-864 (Affidavit of Support).

Family-based immigration forms are used by U.S. citizens and permanent residents to sponsor relatives for Green Cards. Form I-130 establishes the qualifying family relationship — spouse, child, parent, or sibling. Form I-485 is the application to adjust status to permanent resident while inside the U.S. Form I-751 removes conditions on marriage-based Green Cards (required within 90 days of the 2-year anniversary). Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) proves the sponsor meets income requirements at 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. These forms require extensive supporting documentation of the relationship and financial circumstances.
