I am a U.S. citizen mother. How do I petition to bring my son or daughter to the U.S.?

If you are a U.S. citizen applying to bring a child or son or daughter to the U.S. to live and you are the mother of the child, you must file the following with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

•

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

•

A copy of your birth certificate or U.S. passport

•

If you were not born in the U.S., a copy of either:

Your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship or

Your U.S. passport

•

A copy of the child�s birth certificate showing your name and the child�s name

Note: If anyone�s name has been legally changed (if it differs from the name on his or her birth certificate), evidence of the name change must be submitted.
