I am a U.S. citizen and serving in the military, who in my family is considered as my immediate relative so that I may file a Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) on their behalf?
A. In general, spouses, unmarried children younger than age 21 and parents of U.S. citizens are considered ‘immediate relatives’ to file a Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130). This means they will not have to wait long to receive an immigrant visa or adjust status in the United States, because a visa number is immediately available. If you recently became a U.S. citizen and have Form I-130 pending with USCIS you can call the USCIS Military Help Line to request USCIS upgrade your relative’s visa category to ‘immediate relative’ status.
