Family Petitions (I-130)
This page contains Instructions for Filing an I-130 with the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services office in Rome
I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the U.S. Embassy in Rome accepts I-130 petitions by mail or in person from U.S. citizens who reside in Italy. U.S. citizens whose principal residence is not in Italy, and/or are abroad temporarily as a visitor or on business, must file the petition in the United States.
If you are not eligible to file in Rome, you should file the petition with the Chicago Lockbox. Lawful Permanent Residents must file the petition in the United States.
Evidence of Residence
We require evidence of petitioner's residence in Italy, such as a photocopy of a Certificate of Residence, a Foreigners' Permit to Stay, or a copy of the petitioner's orders if he/she is a member of the U.S. military stationed in Italy.
Appointments
To file in person, make an appointment at the Rome District Office on InfoPass.
