Applying for a green card through a family petition? This step-by-step immigration guide walks you through every USCIS form I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, so you know exactly what to file and when.
Written by a former U.S. immigration officer who spent nearly two decades adjudicating cases for INS, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and USCIS, this guide replaces guesswork with the insider's playbook. Whether you're a U.S. citizen sponsoring a spouse, child, parent, or sibling, or a green card holder petitioning for family, you'll find the exact forms and supporting documents USCIS requires for each relationship, Immediate Relative and Family-Sponsored Preference alike.
Inside, you'll learn how to file Form I-130, when to pair it with Form I-485 for Adjustment of Status, how to apply for a work permit and travel document while your case is pending, and how to read a Visa Bulletin so you always know where your priority date stands. A full chapter covers the U.S. Department of State consular process for relatives applying from abroad, plus the practical questions applicants ask most: when to file, how much it costs, how to pay USCIS, and what happens after you submit.
To make the process real, the book closes with real-world scenarios drawn from the author's career: a visitor adjusting status, a citizen of Mexico who entered without inspection, a Filipino citizen who overstayed and later had a U.S. citizen child, showing exactly how the rules play out for people in situations like yours.
If you want a green card guide built by someone who actually adjudicated these cases, not just researched them, this is it.
