Permanent resident and I want to bring my parents

[karimaelo 0]

Hi,

I am a green card holder and I would like to apply for a petition to bring my parents to the US. What is the process?

hi

first, become a USC

residents can't petition parents, siblings or married children

LPR can only file for spouses and unmarried children

Once you become a US Citizen, then you can file for them

Not possible

You first have to become a citizen and depending on how you became a lpr you can apply for citizenship 90 days before 3 or 5 years.

there is no process until you become a citizen

Can a USC petition for his mother in law? If so, how long will that be? Thanks

Thanks for the prompt answer. So the only option will be is a tourist visa while I'll wait to become a USC then?

Well, tourist visas would allow them to visit, but not to stay/ work.

Also, tourist visas have different rules, they;d need to prove strong ties to home to be able to get it.
