I need help understanding my friend’s situation. Please help.
My friend’s father wanted to come to the US. My friend is a US citizen, let’s call her Camille, and she lives in New Jersey. Camille said she does not have the means to support her father to come to the States. Camille’s Aunt, a US Citizen, lives in Oregon, offers to help pay for the processing fees and flight fare for Camille’s father. Her Aunt and her father are related. Her Aunt also offers that her father may live in Oregon to find work.
I thought that sounds illegal? You file a petition for your father, somebody else pays for the fees, and does not live with you? I think she is in a risky situation.
My question is, is that possible? Is that legal? Has anybody done that? Please share your input about this situation and share your experience when you brought your parents to the US.
Thank you!
Hello Crazy Cat! In what way is it more costly?
