I-130 for mother

[hindi 2]

Hi,

My mother is a USC. Both her father and brother passed away tragically last year. Her mom is still living in india. She is 70 plus years old and no one to take care of her in india. Pending her medical exam, my mom would like to petition to bring her to the US. Based on my grandma's age and living situation, is there a possibility to expedite the I-130 application? Please advise. We are concerned about her health and would like to bring her to the US asap depending.

Thanks!

There aren't a lot of things that will get a petition expedited. Your will most likely be denied because the hardship needs to be to the USC not the intended immigrant. Beware that do to her age your family may have to show insurance which can be expensive ( affordable care act has a strange idea of affordable )

Nigeria or bust is correct, and it will be difficult to get the I 130 approved as well if you cannot provide health insurance for her because of her age. She will never be eligible for Medicare.

Check with your Exchange, but you would be looking at c$15,000 a year just in premiums.

You can not expedite based on a hardship to the beneficiary.

As other have stated, you may need to show your mother can afford health insurance because the US will be concern that taxpayers will foot the bill for an elderly Indian citizen.
