Download and Fill Form I‑730 – Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition

The USCIS Form I‑730 is the official Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition that allows a principal refugee or asylee to request that their spouse and unmarried children under 21 join them in the United States. Our fillable PDF version lets you complete the form quickly, accurately, and securely—all within your browser.

What Is Form I‑730?

Form I‑730 initiates the "follow‑to‑join" process. Once approved, eligible family members receive immigrant visas and can travel to the U.S. as derivatives of the principal refugee or asylee.

Eligibility Requirements

• Principal refugee admitted within the past 2 years, or principal asylee granted asylum within the past 2 years.
• Petition for spouse or unmarried children under 21 (certain cases allow children over 21).
• Beneficiary must be outside the United States at the time of filing, unless filing for a domestic adjustment.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
