Petition for Alien Relative
A citizen or permanent resident uses it to establish the family relationship with a relative who wants to immigrate. It does not grant status on its own.
We request it from uscis.gov the moment you open it and we keep no copy. That is why we cannot hand you a stale edition: what you see is what USCIS is publishing right now.
