A citizen or green-card holder petitions for a relative abroad; the case is won on proof of status and proof of relationship. Lexfill guides the petitioner through the I-130 and assembles the evidence — organized, verified, and filled into the form.
The I-130 itself is short; the case is the evidence. Lexfill collects the right proof for the relationship at hand and keeps the record consistent with it.
The petitioner answers one plain question at a time about themselves, the beneficiary, and the relationship — spouse, child, parent, or sibling — with the pathway asking only what their relationship type requires.
Proof of the petitioner's citizenship or LPR status, the relationship documents, and — for spouse cases — bona fide marriage evidence, all on one checklist. Lexfill identifies each upload and reads the key facts into the record.
When the intake completes, the I-130 is a filled, review-ready PDF — petitioner and beneficiary details landed once, consistently, and proofed page by page.
Lexfill reads the petition and the certificates together and flags what doesn't reconcile — a marriage date before a prior divorce was final, a name that doesn't match the certificate — in plain English.
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is how a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident establishes a qualifying family relationship with a relative who wants to immigrate. For a relative abroad, the approved petition moves to consular processing; Lexfill prepares the I-130 itself with its evidence.
Always: proof of the petitioner's U.S. citizenship or LPR status. Then relationship-specific proof — a marriage certificate and bona fide marriage evidence for spouses, birth certificates for parent/child/sibling cases, and proof that any prior marriages ended. Lexfill's checklist adapts to the relationship.
The petitioner. Lexfill guides them through the petition's questions about themselves, the beneficiary, and the relationship, one plain question at a time, and fills the I-130 from their answers for attorney review.
If the relative is in the U.S. and eligible to adjust status, that's typically a different case shape — for spouses, Lexfill's marriage green card case runs the I-130 and I-485 together from one intake.
No. Lexfill prepares the record — intake, evidence, filled I-130, and flags. The attorney reviews, edits, approves, and files everything.
