I-130 Relationship Evidence — Official USCIS Instructions | Pakistan USA Visa Tracker
Petitioner Relationship Evidence (I-130)
General informational guidance based on official sources. Not legal advice.
Evidence of the qualifying family relationship claimed on Form I-130. USCIS publishes the relationship-specific evidence list in the current Form I-130 instructions (for example marriage evidence for a spouse petition, or birth evidence for a parent or child petition).
Why it may be required
USCIS Form I-130 requires relationship evidence matching the petition category. This site does not invent that evidence list.
Who normally needs it
The U.S. petitioner filing Form I-130. Some supporting civil records may come from Pakistan and should match the Department of State Pakistan reciprocity page.
Where Pakistani applicants can obtain it
Civil records from the country where the relationship was created or registered, plus any U.S. records listed in the current USCIS Form I-130 instructions.
General application process
Collect only the evidence the current USCIS Form I-130 instructions list for your relationship type, and file it with the petition as those instructions direct.
Common documents required
See the current USCIS Form I-130 instructions for the relationship you are claiming. Typical categories include marriage certificates, birth certificates, and prior-marriage termination records when relevant — but the official instructions control.
City / province information
Pakistani civil documents used as petition evidence should match the official reciprocity page for Pakistan.
Important notes
Do not treat social-media evidence lists as a substitute for the current USCIS Form I-130 instructions.
