you must be a citizen for that...If you are a lawful permanent resident of United States, you may file this form (I-130) for:
A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older.
You need to naturalize first.
LPR can only petition for a spouse, ot their children.
