How old must I be to sponsor a relative through the FORM i-130 over the age of 21 to come to the US legally?
Answer:
I would guess 18, but more importantly is what relative you're trying to help.
from the FORM i-130 Petition for Alien Relative
1.) If you are a US Citizen, you may petition for following relatives, as long as you can prove the relationships:
* Husband or wife or unmarried child under 21 years old;
* Parent, if you are at least 21 years old;
* Unmarried son or daughter over 21 years old;
* Married son or daughter of any age;
* Brother or sister, if you are at least 21 years old.
2.) If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may petition for following relatives, as long as you can prove the relationships:
* Husband or wife; or
* Unmarried child under 21 years of age;
* Unmarried son or daughter over 21 years of age.
Lawful permanent residents may not sponsor their parents, married sons/daughters or brothers/sisters to live permanently in the U.S
i heard my parents saying that it was like about 21 years old
I think I would be correct in saying that you must be at least 18 years of age to sponsor someone via I-130. What kind of relative do you wish to sponsor? There are different types of visas available for spouses of Americans.
Here's a better question. Do you earn enough income to qualify as a sponsor? Working part-time down at the Dairy Queen isn't going to cut it.
