Green Card holder applying for CR-1 or K1

[VFittipaldi 30]

Hi,

Can someone who is a Green Card holder apply for a CR-1 or K1 visa for their spouse or fiance?

What about submitting form I-130 for a family member like mom or a sibling?

Thank you in advance!

Filling a i130 petition for cr1, yes. But to file a i129f petition for a fiancée one must be a us citizen.

hi

k1 no, only US Citizens can file for fiancés

so you would file for spousal visa, be married of course

LPR can only file for spouses and unmarried children

Only USC can file for parents or siblings

LPRs can only apply for spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (age 21 and over) and the visa type would be F2A (spouse or minor child) or F2B (unmarried son or daughter age 21 and over). See the following two links for more information:
