U.S. Citizen's Parents Immigration Process and Requirements

Help Desk:

I recently become U.S. citizen. Both my father and mother are in their home country, and I want to apply for immigration for them. Please let me know the process and requirements.

Answer:

You should properly fill out the USCIS Form I-130, also called Petition for Alien Relative Application. The application is the first step in the relative Green Card application process, because it establishes the child-parent relationship that exists. 

When both parents are sponsored, two separate applications need to be completed. Since parents are considered a priority, or immediate relative, Form I-130 allows parents to reach the front of the line. This means that parents would not have to wait to immigrate to the U.S. Thus, parents are invited to apply for immigrant visas as soon as the application is approved.
