Dear VJ members,

I am naturalizing at the beginning of 2017 and my parents' tourist visa expire in December 2016.

I would like to know if I can have them stay here and apply for green cards even though their visas are expiring soon, or I have to send them back home and re-enter the US before I file i-485 for them.

Please help and I really appreciate your time.

Thank you!

Cin

Are you starting the process for naturalization early next year? If you are just starting it at that point you need to remember that it can take 3-6 months and many times depending on your office even longer then that before you are actually done.

Send them home to get ready for the move.
