Thank you everyone for the clarification. I understood everything from, I just didn’t actually add into my comments. When I said, I guess it’s just I130 filing and affidavit of support, when that time arises, I meant that is what needs to be done. The adjustment of status or anything along those lines won’t be happening. Thanks

Ok thanks all, so I guess it’s all just I130 and Affidavit of Support when the time arises.

The parent had the visa interview decades ago, I would say about 30-35 years ago, not sure when, I know it was before the parent had the US citizen. The green card was relinquished before the US citizen was born.

If she’s in the USA on a visitor’s visa, can it be done?

Ok, so let me see I understand. 1. If the parent is in the US on a visitor visa, the US citizen child can file both I130 and I485 at the same time without any problems or issues? 2. Well since the primary sponsor (the US citizen) doesn’t have any income from being self employed at the moment, then there will need to be a co sponsor on the application and that would need the I864A filled out by and primary sponsor to fill out the I864? if there are 3 or 4 people living in the household, will the primary sponsor (US citizen) and co-sponsor need to use the above poverty guidelines to see what it should be?

The parent already has a visitor visa and is planning to visit in a few months, so can the I130 be filed alongside the other form , I think it’s I485? The parent got a green card through one of her parents, but never lived in the US, it was turned in. The green card and the turning in of the card was done before the child (the US citizen) was born in their home country.

The parent is in her home country (not the US).

Thanks @Dashinka, so if the parent is on a visitor visa in the USA, the I130 can’t be filed? Another one, the US citizen is presently self employed but has not earned any income as yet, but could be using spouse as a co sponsor, is that ok?

Hello all, Can a US citizen file the I130 for her parent while the parent is in the US and not have to worry about the patient going back to her home country? Also, if the parent had a green card before but turned it years before the US citizen child was born, but doesn’t know or remember the alien number, can the US citizen leave that field blank on the form?
