Hi Justin,

I just went to the UK to bring my Mum over to live with us. It was a pretty painless process when I look back on it. From start to finish, it took about 9 months.

Good luck

Yes, I am a US citizen. So what are the forms to be filed and supported documentation?

Justin

The process of bringing family members in is the same process for bringing a spouse in. You ARE a US citizen, right?

File an I130 petition for them. Look at the "example forms" and you will see one. I filed for my wife, you would check "parent" instead of "spouse", otherwise it's the same process. Look at the guide for the IR1 petition process and you'll find a step-by-step for what you want to do.
