GENERAL INFORMATION
An immigrant visa is required of anyone who wishes to enter
the United States to reside there permanently, whether or
not that person plans to seek employment in the United States.
U.S. immigration law provides for the issuance of immigrant
visas in four general categories:

Minor Child under 21 years of age and Parent of US Citizen)
US citizens residing in Cyprus for at least 6 months,
may file an I-130 petition for immediate relative directly
at the Embassy in Nicosia. Proof of residency is required.
NOTE: US citizens not residing in Cyprus for at least 6
months, must submit an I-130 petition to the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Service Center (USCIS) having
jurisdiction over place of residence.
