If you’re planning to help a spouse immigrate to the United States, you’ll likely need to file Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and Form I-130A (Supplemental Information for a Spouse Beneficiary) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It’s the start of an immigration journey that won’t always be straightforward. So it’s wise to educate yourself on the process and requirements to minimize potential problems that result in delays. After all, quick approval of the spousal petition aims to help your husband or wife immigrate.
