Canadian citizen application for Green Card

[Mili Anand 0]

Hi 

I am Canadian citizen and visiting my family in Dallas. I want to move permanently to USA and need information on forms to submit. My parents are permanent residents and sister is US citizen. I am unable to find out the correct process to proceed forward with my green card application. Can you please guide me from where should I start and what forms and packages I will need to fill out?

How old are you?  Are you married?

It starts with your parent filing an I-130.  You might be interested in this:

Your LPR parents can petition you.  It would be an F2b case where the wait is about 7 years for an immigrant visa.  You must stay single.  Marriage would void the petition.

Your USC sister can petition you.  It would be an F4 case where the wait is about 14 years for an immigration visa.  Marriage would not affect this petition.  Your spouse would be able to immigrate with you.

To petition you, the petitioner would file an I-130 to start the immigration process.  Once USCIS approves the I-130, you must wait for your Priority Date to become current in the Visa Bulletin before you are eligible to apply for an immigration benefit.  
 

There isn't a faster way for you to immigrate to the US through your family.  

VJ has some general guides that you can look at.

In the May 2021 Visa Bulletin, which table would be the correct one to determine the F2b visa availability?

Table A is when a visa becomes available.

Table B is when the beneficiary qualifies for further processing; DS-260 if outside the US and I-485 if inside the US.

If parents become USC's,   wouldn't it be faster for them to apply for the son?

Not really.  

The wait in the F1 family preference category is about 7 years.

No, however, one advantage is that it does mean the petition would not be invalidated if OP got married (it would change the category and lengthen the wait however).
