Family immigration services in the Dallas TX area help married couples to stay together. By petitioning a spouse through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, you can bring your spouse into the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident or in other words, get them a green card.
Petitioning a spouse involves filing certain forms for your alien wife or husband to allow them into the United States. If you are a U.S. citizen (or hold a green card), and your spouse resides in another country, you’ll need to file an immigrant visa petition (Form I-130) and pay the filing fee. Contact immigration services if you are unsure about how to fill out forms.
All persons applying for a spousal petition must complete the following:
- Fill out and sign two copies of form G-325A
- Include any divorce papers, death certificates, etc. that demonstrate previous marriages are over
- Passport-type photos for you and your spouse
- Any evidence of legal name changes
U.S. citizens must provide documentation with spousal petition applications. The documentation should be either a valid U.S. passport, a U.S. birth certificate, a citizenship certificate or naturalization certificate. Green card holders must prove their status with a photocopy of the front and back of their green card (Form I-551) or a foreign passport with a stamp showing temporary evidence of your permanent residency.
