Petitioning parents and underage sibling

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm petitioning my parents (or maybe my dad first). Once dad is here, I understand he can then petition for my underage brother (age: 14 y.o.). What happens if my parents decide to abandon their green card in the future? will my brother keep his LPR or will he lose it? thanks!

Curious as to why you are already thinking about them abandoning status when you just filed for them to become LPR.

my dad and brother are open to living in the US (they speak english well and will not have problems assimilating etc)....my mom not so much (she does not speak english at all and is intimidated by everything). but i want for all of them to come visit and see my life here. i thought about having them apply for tourist visas but i don't think they will be approved. so i thought about petitioning them. if they come over and mom decides she hates it after all, they might decide to just go home and not come back.

Brother is independent once he has his GC and certainly will be of age to look after himself

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I'd go for the tourist visa rather than petitioning. Maybe just for your mum to see if she likes it.

My MIL came last summer on tourist visa

Before u consider a permanent move check out cost(s) of insurance and any medications they may take

MIL pays $40 fora month back in Moroc for diabetic medicine which is just under $600 a month  here 

and what i see when traveling to Africa is many womn are diabetics 

 

that's just one example 

MIL needed emergency surgery when she returned home at cost of $1000 in Moroc and would have been ????   here 

 

its just something u need to consider if they are unable to work and u r the sole supporter 

good luck to u
