• Green Card for Parents...
How do you sponsor your parents for a green card? Everything you wanted to know about the green card process for parents in today's video. Let me know where you are in the process in the comments below.
Is anyway I can get u email or Gmail thanks
Will my son be able to put in a petition for His mother and for his sibling who is 12 yrs old? He is 28 and a citizen of the USA.
@@sharminecampbellbrown3679 Yes he can sponsor his sibling but it takes a very long time to sponsor a sibling (it can take 10+ years). It might be faster for you to get your green card through your son and then you can sponsor your 12 yr old son as a green card holder. I would ask an attorney but I think that way might be faster (it would still take years )
Hi can I sponsor my mom, who is out of the country? Is there any additional form besides i130 required?
My daughter a US citizen has applied for our immigration visa over 1 and half years back but due to the Covid situation the process is very slow. Hoping that with the new President things will move fast. Thanks
Hopefully next year I can get these for my parents I'm tired of seeing them coming home with injuries from work.
Same here, good luck!!
I'm also a us citizen but both of my parents are undocumented 😢 Idk what to do my parents never committed crimes, fraud or anything that breaks the law someone help.
@@miguelperez54877 you can sponsor them when you are 21 and unmarried citizen
@@ProfeFut im 23 years old now and I just have to start doing it
@@ProfeFut I thought marriage has nothing to do w it
Thanks. So much info. I filled for my wife myself. Filled to renew my green card. Filled to become a citizen, and now filleing for my mom. We dont have any crazy situation going on so is fairly easy
Coool you saved so much money and headache from dealing with a lazy lawyer like i did😅. I want to hekp my husband file for my mother in law i hope its easy🙏
If you don’t mind I ask, how was the process like filling for your mother to come to U.S. & did you hire a lawyer or not? Please give me a response, thank you.
I wish my parents just could get a tourist visa to visit. Instead I need to do so much paperwork, time, pay so much money and at the end they will have to stay for over 6 months otherwise they loose it.
Just shared to my Facebook page! I’ve watched so much of your videos and you’ve taught me so much about my passport and what to do! I’ve helped like 8 people get their passport!
I am so happy to hear that! Glad you were able to others get their passport!
Please help
my parents just got their Workers permit should receive their ss in about a week. I am also turning 18 next month so hopefully in about 3 years or less they can become citizens!
Very informative video. My question is, what if the parents are financially independent themselves and have enough savings to show that they can look after themselves and their child sponsor is still in school? I am talking of over $150K as savings.
This is great information and help. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a few questions for you and need guidance. So I have applied for my mom and just received the NVC welcome email. My question is that since there’s a immigration ban in place at least until March 31, 2021 and probably the next administration will extend it, how is it possible to apply for a Visa? Will a Visa be issued by any embassy at this time? Also it is very difficult to travel due to the pandemic. My mom is in Iran and as you know, there is not a US Embassy in Iran and she has to go to Abu Dhabi in Emirates. There’s also travel visas to Emirates for Iranians at this time and a travel halt in place. Could you please advise how to move forward with the application. Should I wait to see what happens with the Immigration ban?
My parents entered the US illegaly at least 4 times, I'm a US citizen, can I still get them to the US, or will they have to go through a 10 year bar?
If they weren't inspected at the border unfortunately it would be much harder
Thanks Maneesha for sharing this. Quite Helpful!
I’m a US citizen how do I get my parents a tourist Visa?
What if when child and parents live outside of US, parents are not citizen, only the child is a citizen of 21 years of age?
I hope my medical and interview is coming this year!
Are you the sponsor for your parents?
I Was enter 🇺🇸 illegally and stay from 2000to 2006 and left 🇺🇸 in between stay child born now he turn 21 next year is it possible my sponsor me and my wife green card what we do for speedy process me and my wife dubai residents please advise us
You broke the law by entering illegally. Get an attorney
Thank you for you video, very helpful. If a parent is in the process of green card application, can they still travel to the U.S. and if so what form do I need to fill out?
Thank you. Could you tell me what constitutes 'filing' for immigration purposes? If you send a form, is it filed when you put it in the mail, when it is delivered, or when it is processed and accepted? Thanks!
You will received a notification from them
Thanks Maneesha for the informative video. Found it very useful.👌
Very detailed video. I appreciate your feedback and step by step on that process. One question though what if the embassy is closed?
I filedi130 for my parents, it was denied saying more docs required should I send in more documents and ask them to reopen the case ?
or should I file a brand new I130?
Are you sure it was denied or did you guys just get a Request For Evidence (RFE)? If it’s an RFE then you just need to provide the requested documents within the deadline and hopefully get approved
Thank you! I have been watching videos for the process to do the petition for my mother and this is the best!
Thank you very much for making this informative video. Will the processing time change if I want to petition for my siblings who’re under the age of 21? Or will they’ve the same processing time as others over the age of 21? Again, thank you very much for your clarifying videos.
My father was deported to Mexico in 2009 for possession of coke. He has done his 10 years already. Is it still possible for me to help him get his green card?
Hi thank u for this video. I have a question. Im a Us citizen and already filed an i130 form for my mom. I ddnt know i can cuncurrently file together with i 485 AOS since shes already here as tourist. She already overstayed. shes supposed to go home last month(6 month stay). My question is can i still file or can she still file i485 while i130 is pending?
Hi, I just have an inquiry. Here is the story. A non immigrant gave birth in the US and she declared herself as a natural born on the birth certificate of the child . Will it affect the citizenship of the child? Now the child is over 21 years old and more than capable of petitioning the other parent (Father) who is not a US citizen. Will she have an Issue?
Asking for someone - As a usa born citizen Can I apply for green card for my adoptive parents (adoption was done when i was age 19 outside of usa) ?
My mom is in US with I539 extension pending (applied on july). Would I be able to aaply I130+I485 now?
Adjustment of status is the preferred method for most immigrants. It is less complicated. You will submit all of the forms and documents to immigration once at the start of the process, making it easier to organize your filing. It also allows your parents to stay in the United States while their petition is processing.
Should the US citizen (sponsor) be in the USA? My daughter was born in USA , but lives in Canada. I live in Canada. Can my daughter sponsor me from Canada?
*parents previous over stays can be waived if no any other criminal case registered*
Can you please make a similar video on spousal green card?
Thank you
Yes, I am planning to soon! The process is very similar, but I will make a separate video for it.
Thanks for video! I also have a question. Can a US citizen age 21 who's still a student file a petition for a brother and have her uncle as a joint sponsor? A reply would be much appreciated!
Not an expert on this, but yes, u can apply, but brother is not in "immediate relatives" category, so he'll have to do the whole wait in line for many years thing depending on where he's from.
Yes that works
What if i’m a US citizen and i wana invite my parents for visit nor sponsor them just invite them for visit? is it same form DS-160? Please let me know ?
Mom is 72 years old, green card holder... Can she move back to Mexico to live or spend most of her time down there without losing her green card?
forward to 2020 talking to a immigration attorney said to help me fill out my mother's paperwork said the cost would be 5k ... so i am doing it myself
This video was super helpful! Can you please make another one for a sibling, specifically, for a half-sibling? thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I'll be making videos for other family members soon. With siblings, the wait is very long if they are currently outside the U.S. It can take 10+ years to sponsor a sibling...but if you sponsor a parent and they (or one of them) get their green card, then they can sponsor an adult child if he/she is unmarried. That might be faster (depends on what country your sibling is born in)
Do your parents 1st. When they are here they can do the process for their kids. I know because my cousin did it for her parents. My grandpa did for his daughter and son in law. When my aunt and uncle came they later did it for their kids only 2 because 2 is married.
Want to file such form for my mom who lives abroad, was wondering what will happen to her small children who is 3. Do I have to file another I-130 for him, since he is my sibling it will take longer than my mom. So is there a way I can bring both of them at the same time?
I'm an US citizen living in Turkey. I was born in the USA but I never lived there and none of my family members are US citizens. I'm a 21 year old student who lives with parents so I don't have any income. Is there a possibility for me to provide them a green card?
Yes you just need to find someone to sponsor them
Hi
My name is Kalpesh Patel from India
I am in 2001 to 2009 by border cross in USA
That time my son born in USA and he is us citizen and now in USA.
After 2009 i came back in India.
Now i finished my 10 year bar.
So my son can file i-130 for me
You need a lawyer in cases like this. Since your record has been tarnished. A lawyer may be your best bet here.
Hi Maneesha! Thank you for the informative video. I have been looking into the process of sponsoring a parent to the US and it is a lot, but your video is a great resource to help us understand it better. Would you recommend hiring an attorney for someone who knows very little about law stuff? I am looking into sponsoring my mom who is a Lao citizen to come to Hawaii where I currently live. Would I need to hire an attorney based in Hawaii or can they be based in any state? (Since attorneys are very expensive here). Thank you for making such a great video!💕🙏
Hey maam plz i have a question i m us citizen and i m apply my parents but i have my siblings they are under 18 so the are coming with my mom and dad i just wana to make sure plz answer me

Thank you 🥰can’t wait to start my mom process
My mother is on b2 visa in USA can i change her status on a green card.this is her second visit.
My parents got caught trying to come to the United States 20 years ago will they be eligible for a green card?
So you are saying that the person you want to fill for is not counted as a household in the affidavit of support?
Thanks for all the information provided 🙌
Great video !!! I'm a USA citizen and I'm planning to sponsor my parents. Does their birth certificate and marriage certificate need to be translated to English ???
I have the same question!
It has to be translated in English
Can I use the I -130 form to make my parent a us citizen if the entered ILLEGALLY ?? Or do you recommend any other process . They are currently in the US and have lived for 30+ years
They have proof of income/ and bills for 20+ years

I was a greencard holder before but was out of status for 20+ years.my son is an American citizen and residing in the US now.is there a certain form for my case where my son can fill out to petition me?
I'm petitioning my mom, but i don't know my dad address amd i don't talk to him. What do i do whete 2do parent info address says. Please help ! Thanks
Very informative, clear and elaborate briefing about the procedure. Appreciated.
I am a parent of US citizen. I 130 (Consular Processing ) filed for me in December 2020. Service Center Texas. I worked in the Military as Store Control Clerk from 1962 to 1967 ( 5 years ) and got discharged from service due to a minor disability which makes unfit for continued service Military but OK for civil service. There is a question in the immigration application form whether you served in Military Service or not?. Is there any preference for personnel served in Military ?. Your valued expert opinion please
Hey! Have you got your gc already?
I’m adopted and want to help my biological mother get her green card to come and visit. My birth certificate has long been changed, what would I need to provide for “proof” ??
Very informative. My child is a US Citizen currently 10 year old and we live in Canada. Can he sponsor me and my wife as parents for green card or does he has to turn 18?
If with parents have a child under 18 what will be happen with this child? His brother can file for him with parents and how long it will take
Thanks for a great info. Can the parent bring their under 21 unmarried child? My brother will be 21 in Aug 2022. Do you think we have enough time if my parents can bring him with them?
He'd probably have to wait until they have their green card and sponsor him then.
hi. i m trying to sponsor my mom by concurrent filing, do I need my father's death certificate for i-130 and i-485?
Great video. What about step siblings? Can they be included in the application along with the step parent?
You can apply, but siblings rn't "immediate relatives" so it'll be many years. So technically not "included" in the same app.
Excellent, What if any are the travel restrictions once one files for GC for parents.
Well do a child who has green card need to file a separate form for naturalization or only mom and dad can fill the form and child gets automatically when mom and dad are naturalized .Confused...…. Pls answer about family application as well.. THANKS
Excellent video. It's very encouraging! Thank you.
How much time taking to get green card after biometric
my question is this if i don't do any work then i can apply for my parents (i and my kids live with my hasband)also they also have B1 ,B2 visa and they visited here befor.what should the next step?
This green card process is another different one vs the B1/B2 visa. My people who have B1/B2 never returned home. They overstayed their visa but will find a US citizen to married. Same with those on work visa. It is why US is not easy on work visa. Work visa is easier approval for Canada France Australia etc.

Can an overseas U.S. citizen sponsor family members for U.S. green cards (U.S. lawful permanent residence) allowing them all to move to the U.S., together or apart? It's possible, but it won't be straightforward.
My mom and dad are are both from Trinidad my mom had me here in the states my mom just passed away and my dad is still abroad she never added him to my birth certificate how can I prove this now so I can apply since since he’s abroad and I’m in the states ? Please help
Hey, I am thinking of sponsoring my parents when I am able to, meanwhile do you think It‘d be a good Idea to go to Mexico since I know the the penalty would be x amount of years?
You need to read up on Mexico about visiting, permanent residency, etc. I ain’t going to lied to you green card for your parents is expensive. There is a lot of fees and different forms. Cost just keep going up.
2:19 So if I'm petitioning my mom, no extra document needed?
would it be an ok idea to hire an immigration attorney from the parents home country to guide the process or should it be one in the US?

Great video!
Question, what if my parent is outside the U.S and already has am up to date tourist visa? Does she still have to go through all the U.S embassy and USCIS doctor process?
Yes because tourism or visitor visa is different from this green card process. You need to apply and paid fees. This green card they get is permanent to live, work, etc. in the US. If you have parents or siblings and can show proof about relationship then it is a good thing to do if they really want to come lived in the US. They auto get a green card can start looking for job.
