Bring mother using old parole authorization

[herzzreh 0]

Back in 1994 my mother, father and I received parole (public interest). My father and I traveled to the US, since then we became citizens and my mother stayed behind. Currently I want to bring her to the US.

Can she still use the authorization from 1994 to travel here or do I have to take the I-130 route?

I'm taking a wild guess here and going to say probably not. I would call the USCIS to see, but I am sure the parole has an expiration on it.

Your father is a US citizen, his wife would be able to receive an IR visa upon approval of the I-130 and the visa interview. Its really the only way.

A quick search on yielded the following:

Does Humanitarian Parole expire?

Humanitarian paroles are granted for a period of time to coincide with the duration of the emergency or humanitarian situation that forms the basis for the request. There is a maximum time limit of 1 year.

From what I can tell, humanitarian and public intererest parole is treated similarly...so if one has an expiration date, there's a good chance that so does the other.

Have USC father file I-130 for his spouse.

Actually, they're divorced at this point, so I'd be the one filing the I-130.

Either way, I have an appointment in two weeks to go speak with an immigration officer.
