Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative is a form submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (or, in the rare case of Direct Consular Filing, to a US consulate or embassy abroad) by a United States citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident petitioning for an immediate or close relative (who is not currently a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident) intending to immigrate to the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】I-130, Petition for Alien Relative )〕〔 It is one of numerous USCIS immigration forms. As with all USCIS petitions, the person who submits the petition is called the petitioner and the relative on whose behalf the petition is made is called the beneficiary. Approval of the petition can be used by the beneficiary to obtain a United States visa in the Immediate Relative (IR) or Family-Based Preference (F) category at a US consulate or embassy abroad, and, once the relative has immigrated to the United States, to obtain a Green Card. For relatives already present in the United States it can be used to change status. For petitions filed by United States citizens, each I-130 petition can be on behalf of only one beneficiary, so a petitioner seeking to petition for multiple relatives (for instance, a spouse and children) must file separate I-130s for each of them. For lawful permanent residents, an exception is made in the case for the beneficiary's unmarried children.〔 ==Types of relationship between petitioner and beneficiary== Form I-130 can be used for the following categories of relatives:〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】Helping Your Relative Get a Green Card )〕 * Immediate Relative (IR): This category is not numerically limited, and includes the following subcategories:〔(【引用サイトリンク】Family-Based Immigrant Visas )〕 * * IR-1: Spouse of a US citizen. Need to be married for at least two years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Immigrant Visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1) )〕 * * IR-2: Unmarried child under 21 of a U.S. citizen, provided the marriage to the biological parent occurred before the child was 18, and at least two years prior to obtaining the visa. * * IR-5: Parent of a U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years old. * Family Preference (F) (not to be confused with F visa, the student visa in the US):〔 * * F1 (First Preference): Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens (F1-1). * * F2 (Second Preference): Spouses (F2-1), minor children (F2-2), and unmarried sons and daughters (age 21 and over) of Lawful Permanent Residents (F2-4). * * F3 (Third Preference): Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens (F3-1). * * F4 (Fourth Preference): Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (F4-1). * Conditional Resident (CR): * * CR-1: Spouse, married for less than two years. Path to temporary residence that can be converted to permanent residence within two years of moving.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】Step 1: Filing the I-130 Petition with USCIS )〕 * * CR-2: Unmarried child under 21 of a U.S. citizen, provided the marriage to the biological parent occurred before the child was 18, and less than two years prior to obtaining the visa. There are two subcategories of the IR category for which Form I-130 is not the appropriate form: IR-3 (orphan adopted abroad by a U.S. citizen) and IR-4 (orphan to be adopted in the U.S. by a U.S. citizen). For these categories, the appropriate forms are I-600 and I-600A (if the orphan is from a non-Hague Convention country) and I-800 an I-800A (if the orphan is from a Hague Convention country).〔(【引用サイトリンク】Adoption Process )〕 There are some subcategories of the F category that cannot be specified on Form I-130: these include the minor children of those in the F1-1 category, and the spouses and minor children of those in the F3-1 and F4-1 categories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】I-130, Petition for Alien Relative )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】I-600, Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】I-800, Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative )〕 Note that Form I-130 ''cannot'' be used to obtain approval for K visas for fiancé(e)s. The appropriate form for that purpose is Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Form I-130」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
