Frequently asked questions
Does approval of Form I-130 grant a green card?
No — I-130 only establishes the qualifying relationship. The relative must still go through consular processing or file for adjustment of status to actually receive a green card.
Can I file this form online instead?
Yes — USCIS also accepts I-130 filed online through a USCIS online account; this PDF is useful for preparing your answers or for paper filing.
Is there a filing fee?
Yes — check the current fee on the official USCIS I-130 page, since filing fees change periodically.
