Best time to apply for GC for parents

[kashif01 2]

Hi,

In the current Coronavirus situation when should the GC application be filed for parents of a Citizen. Is this a good time or one should wait till things get normal again. How is USCIS treating these cases

No reason to wait

You might as well file. No visas can be issued for parents for the next 60 days, but the processing of i130 will take much longer than that anyway.

Absolutely no reason to wait. My motto is "get in line, even if the line isn't moving."

Did they get a visitor visa?

Do not wait. Do it now when you are ready to file. Get your parents' files in line.

Yes they and my sister got the visit visa but sadly cause of Coronavirus they could not travel. They all have 5 years multiple visa now. However, as they cannot come anyway for sometime so i was thinking of applying for green card for them

There is a big difference between visiting and immigrating, now Parents are immediate relatives, sister is not.

I’m not following the logic here. Was it always the ultimate goal to have them immigrate?
