U.S. citizens residing in Korea who wish to file an I-130 petition for an alien relative must submit the form to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). For more details about USCIS, including access to forms and instructions, individuals can visit http://www.uscis.gov/.
Although most immigrant visa petitions are submitted through USCIS, there is an option for petitioners in Korea to request filing Form I-130 at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul under certain limited circumstances as defined by USCIS.
To determine eligibility for filing Form I-130 at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, individuals can check specific qualifications online.
