Green Card for parents

[5Star 5]

Hello Friends,

I am US Citizen. I want to file Green Card for my Parents. So, what is the process and how long will it take ? 

Also, my parents are in India currently. So, filling for them while they are in India or once they come to USA on Visitor visa , which one is better and faster?

Lastly, I would like to know form numbers needs to fill out for the process and how much is the filling fees.

Thank you in advance!!

Coming on a tourist visa and adjusting status is fraud. You'll have to apply for I-130 for both parents with separate fees.

ILLEGAL!!!! File the right way like everyone else. Go on USCIS website and read about it then come back here with specific questions.

hi

 

as stated, if they have a tourist visa, they can visit during the process but never overstay

 

you will file an i130 for each of them and the process will take over a year

The bold above is visa fraud! They cannot enter on a tourist visa with the intent to adjust status. 

 

You can petition them by filing i-130s and once the processing is complete, they interview for an IR5 visa in Mumbai.

As everyone stated, it is a Visa fraud to get someone here on a tourist visa and then apply for their green card. I truly hope you will not do that and make tourist visa difficult for other people's family who just want to visit for sometime.
