USCIS Form I-130 Petition Evidence — Official Instructions | Pakistan USA Visa Tracker
Form I-130 Petition Evidence
General informational guidance based on official sources. Not legal advice.
Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is the USCIS petition commonly used to start a family-based immigrant visa case. USCIS publishes the current form and instructions, including the evidence the petitioner must submit.
Why it may be required
Most family-based immigrant visa cases begin when a qualifying petitioner files Form I-130 with USCIS. This site does not invent a relationship-evidence checklist; the official form instructions control what must be filed.
Who normally needs it
The U.S. petitioner in a family-based case, unless official USCIS or Department of State guidance for that classification uses a different petition.
Where Pakistani applicants can obtain it
Official USCIS Form I-130 page at uscis.gov/i-130.
General application process
Download the current form edition, follow the USCIS instructions, and file as those instructions direct. Do not treat this website as a substitute evidence list.
Common documents required
See the current USCIS Form I-130 instructions. This website does not copy or invent the petition evidence list.
City / province information
The petition is filed with USCIS, not with a Pakistani civil office. Pakistani civil records used as evidence should match the official form instructions and the Department of State Pakistan reciprocity page.
Important notes
A petition is not a visa. Filing or even receiving a receipt notice does not schedule an Islamabad interview.
