Immigration Petition

The first step in obtaining permanent residency is to have an immigrant petition approved by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). This step is usually taken by a family member or an employer. In certain cases, such as workers with special skills who have come from overseas for specific projects, the immigrant can petition INS directly. Once the application is approved, INS will contact the person who filed the petition.
