An Immediate Relative petition includes an I-130 filed by a US citizen spouse; a US citizen parents (as long as the petition is filed before the child’s 21^st birthday and as long as the child remains unmarried); or a US citizen child over the age of 21. An Immediate Relative petition would also include an I-360 petition filed under the Violence Against Women’s Act (VAWA) based upon the foreign national’s relationship to an Immediate Relative.

 However, children are not qualifying relatives when it comes to showing Extreme Hardship for a waiver of the 212(a)(9)(b) Unlawful Presence bar. So if someone is the beneficiary of an I-130 filed by their US citizen child, they must still have a US citizen spouse or parent who would suffer Extreme Hardship in order to qualify to file the I-601A provisional waiver.
