• Green Card for Parents...
How do you sponsor your parents for a green card? Everything you wanted to know about the green card process for parents in today's video. Let me know where you are in the process in the comments below.
Is anyway I can get u email or Gmail thanks
Will my son be able to put in a petition for His mother and for his sibling who is 12 yrs old? He is 28 and a citizen of the USA.
@@sharminecampbellbrown3679 Yes he can sponsor his sibling but it takes a very long time to sponsor a sibling (it can take 10+ years). It might be faster for you to get your green card through your son and then you can sponsor your 12 yr old son as a green card holder. I would ask an attorney but I think that way might be faster (it would still take years )
Hi can I sponsor my mom, who is out of the country? Is there any additional form besides i130 required?
My daughter a US citizen has applied for our immigration visa over 1 and half years back but due to the Covid situation the process is very slow. Hoping that with the new President things will move fast. Thanks
Hopefully next year I can get these for my parents I'm tired of seeing them coming home with injuries from work.
Same here, good luck!!
I'm also a us citizen but both of my parents are undocumented 😢 Idk what to do my parents never committed crimes, fraud or anything that breaks the law someone help.
@@miguelperez54877 you can sponsor them when you are 21 and unmarried citizen
@@ProfeFut im 23 years old now and I just have to start doing it
@@ProfeFut I thought marriage has nothing to do w it
Thank you! I have been watching videos for the process to do the petition for my mother and this is the best!
Just shared to my Facebook page! I’ve watched so much of your videos and you’ve taught me so much about my passport and what to do! I’ve helped like 8 people get their passport!
I am so happy to hear that! Glad you were able to others get their passport!
Please help
Thanks Maneesha for sharing this. Quite Helpful!
Thanks. So much info. I filled for my wife myself. Filled to renew my green card. Filled to become a citizen, and now filleing for my mom. We dont have any crazy situation going on so is fairly easy
Coool you saved so much money and headache from dealing with a lazy lawyer like i did😅. I want to hekp my husband file for my mother in law i hope its easy🙏
Excellent video. It's very encouraging! Thank you.
Thank you 🥰can’t wait to start my mom process
Great video! Thank you for your help and dedication. I wonder In what language the parent can pass the green card interview at the embassy?
Thanks Maneesha for the informative video. Found it very useful.👌
Very informative video. Better than reading it in text.
This is great information and help. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Very detailed video. I appreciate your feedback and step by step on that process. One question though what if the embassy is closed?
Thank you for you video, very helpful. If a parent is in the process of green card application, can they still travel to the U.S. and if so what form do I need to fill out?
I wish my parents just could get a tourist visa to visit. Instead I need to do so much paperwork, time, pay so much money and at the end they will have to stay for over 6 months otherwise they loose it.
Excellent, What if any are the travel restrictions once one files for GC for parents.
Hi, would it be a mistake to switch lawyers? my moms case has been in the “process” since 2016. May 2021 and I believe only the fingerprint fee has been accepted.
Very helpful and Crystal Clear content
Thank you very much for making this informative video. Will the processing time change if I want to petition for my siblings who’re under the age of 21? Or will they’ve the same processing time as others over the age of 21? Again, thank you very much for your clarifying videos.
Thank you, Maneesha!
Hello. Thanks for the video. I have a few questions for you and need guidance. So I have applied for my mom and just received the NVC welcome email. My question is that since there’s a immigration ban in place at least until March 31, 2021 and probably the next administration will extend it, how is it possible to apply for a Visa? Will a Visa be issued by any embassy at this time? Also it is very difficult to travel due to the pandemic. My mom is in Iran and as you know, there is not a US Embassy in Iran and she has to go to Abu Dhabi in Emirates. There’s also travel visas to Emirates for Iranians at this time and a travel halt in place. Could you please advise how to move forward with the application. Should I wait to see what happens with the Immigration ban?
@Maneesha Mukhi. Thank you for the great tips. Really helpful.
I have a quick question. When I filled the i-130 I was living in new York. The Nvc approved my case. However, I have now relocated to another state.
What should in do?
Your videos are great and very informative. Because of your videos I am applying for my mother on my own instead of going to a lawyer. I have already filed I-130 and I am working on I-485 and I-864 package. My question is do I need to file forms I-765 and I-131 when my mother do not plan to work in future and her visit visa is expiring before her plans to travel?
Thank you for explaining this so very well.
Hi dear plz plz guide me in my mom case including her we are 4 family members sponsor is showing above poverty guidelines but do you suggest if yes than how can we show our other assets or bank statements to show the remaining amount for 4 members ?
Very informative video. My question is, what if the parents are financially independent themselves and have enough savings to show that they can look after themselves and their child sponsor is still in school? I am talking of over $150K as savings.
This video was super helpful! Can you please make another one for a sibling, specifically, for a half-sibling? thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! Yes, I'll be making videos for other family members soon. With siblings, the wait is very long if they are currently outside the U.S. It can take 10+ years to sponsor a sibling...but if you sponsor a parent and they (or one of them) get their green card, then they can sponsor an adult child if he/she is unmarried. That might be faster (depends on what country your sibling is born in)
Do your parents 1st. When they are here they can do the process for their kids. I know because my cousin did it for her parents. My grandpa did for his daughter and son in law. When my aunt and uncle came they later did it for their kids only 2 because 2 is married.
So you are saying that the person you want to fill for is not counted as a household in the affidavit of support?
Thanks for all the information provided 🙌
Hi thank u for this video. I have a question. Im a Us citizen and already filed an i130 form for my mom. I ddnt know i can cuncurrently file together with i 485 AOS since shes already here as tourist. She already overstayed. shes supposed to go home last month(6 month stay). My question is can i still file or can she still file i485 while i130 is pending?
Thank you for sharing this helpful information. Could you please help me just to understand one thing. I am trying to fill out the for both my parents, to bring them to United States.
I am a little confused from where to start this application. Can I submit both application from my own USCIS account, or do I need to open two new USCIS accounts for each of them?
I'm petitioning my mom, but i don't know my dad address amd i don't talk to him. What do i do whete 2do parent info address says. Please help ! Thanks
I have a pending 1-30 For my husband When I do the affidavit form in the last couple months I have received full stamps do I still qualify when I do the affidavit form
Hi, I do not make enough money the year I filled the application for my parents. During the interview in my country they told my parents that I need an extra sponsor. But what will be the responsibility of a sponsor . I do not have family in the US , so I need to ask to a friend and I would like to explain what a sponsor do and the rules o law work in this case. Thank you.
I was a greencard holder before but was out of status for 20+ years.my son is an American citizen and residing in the US now.is there a certain form for my case where my son can fill out to petition me?
Thanks a lot 👍 I just want to know that can i do the process for my parents while i am outside the USA?
Great job good presentation👍
So I would have to file form i130, i485 and send in the medical exam packet at the same time of filling? Or do I send the forms in and send the medical later ?
Hi Maneesha! Thank you for the informative video. I have been looking into the process of sponsoring a parent to the US and it is a lot, but your video is a great resource to help us understand it better. Would you recommend hiring an attorney for someone who knows very little about law stuff? I am looking into sponsoring my mom who is a Lao citizen to come to Hawaii where I currently live. Would I need to hire an attorney based in Hawaii or can they be based in any state? (Since attorneys are very expensive here). Thank you for making such a great video!💕🙏
Thank you for such a helpful
My parents visiting me on B1/B2 visa, do i have to file i130 or i485?. Thank you
would it be an ok idea to hire an immigration attorney from the parents home country to guide the process or should it be one in the US?
Hello thanks for a good advice, I'm a parent of u. s citezen, hoping that my interview will schedule, soon because I've already two times in medical then it will due again this coming November. Im hoping to finished my visa interview soon. Thanks a lot
THANK GOD BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE U.S CITIZENS!!! 😊🥰🇲🇽🇺🇸
2:19 So if I'm petitioning my mom, no extra document needed?
Are you suggesting to submit form I864 at the same time as I130 or wait for I130 to be approved first?
can i send i 485 and work permit and medical exam and affidavit support if my i 130 pettion has been approved? even though my turist visa was expired many many years ago?
Want to file such form for my mom who lives abroad, was wondering what will happen to her small children who is 3. Do I have to file another I-130 for him, since he is my sibling it will take longer than my mom. So is there a way I can bring both of them at the same time?
What if i’m a US citizen and i wana invite my parents for visit nor sponsor them just invite them for visit? is it same form DS-160? Please let me know ?
Well do a child who has green card need to file a separate form for naturalization or only mom and dad can fill the form and child gets automatically when mom and dad are naturalized .Confused...…. Pls answer about family application as well.. THANKS
Hi! This is so useful. If my parents don’t have a marriage certificate, can I still apply? They have a Nikkah Certificate (religious certificate of marriage) but not a court registration….
I have a rather complicated question. What if when I become a US citizen (my husband is in the military) and we PCS’ing to Germany can I file for my parents while I’m Germany?
Is the guidelines going to stay the same for 2021 21,550 I make that in my 2019 taxes but I don’t think I will make it for my 2020 taxes
Can I get a co-signer if I don’t meet the criteria for financial
is the immigrant petition filed for parents falls under the family-based visa category or totally separate?
Is there a priority date that would delay with the waiting apart from the processing times?
Question. Me and my sibling were legally adopted by our grandparents after our father passed away. My sister now is in the US and will be a citizen a yr fr now. Can she be able to petition our biological mother? Both our grandparents US citizens and passed away as well.
Maneesha, please tell me which form of i-854 I should file for my parent If I am the only sponsor?
info is welcome. very clear
Quick question: If the beneficiary had a social security when he went to school in an American university thru government exchange program (more than 40 years ago), he went back home and now , as the beneficiary in an I-130 parent petitions does he have to provide this old social security number in both I-130 and /or I-485?

I started the process to become a legal resident but I didn’t finish the process.got my SS#,been working with it for about 30+ yrs but when summited my paperwork I send my original passport I requested the document but no luck, my question with the information that I got from myFOIA will help me to verify that I came legally to the USA??

Thank you for your information about green card for parents
Hello Maneesha,
This video is very well detailed so thank you for that. I do have one question for you. Is the immigrant visa application step necessary if the parent already has a valid B1/B2 Visa?
Thank you
Great info, i would like to ask parents marriage certificate needed for the process ???
If our parents already have a visa and are not here in the US at the moment due to the pandemic, how do we apply for their green card?
Thank you for your video, is there any visa fees in the consulate or it is already paid on the IV fees when the application at the NVC center.
I like your video! I don't know what I-130 is for? My mom is here and I'm sponser her. Does she need to apply I-130 too?
Thank you for your information
I hope my medical and interview is coming this year!
Are you the sponsor for your parents?
def getting the attorney, is that assets part necessary? do stocks count
My mom is coming next month. When do I start the green card process? Do I need to wait for sometime after she comes to US?
I applied i1-30 and USCIS received fees for both of them . In that 797 notice I see case number . What do I need to do next ?
Also I see parallel small lines when it was mentioning on a paper about g884?
I am a Canadian citizen - if my daughter files form I 130 can I enter the US for travel purposes while the form is being adjudicated?
Hi, I filed my i130 online on Feb 12, 2021 for my mom. I'm trying to check the processing time for online filing but there is nothing there for online. I only received the receipt number, is anyone having this same problem?
I got a quote with my attorney to sponsor my parent and their fees was $4k ( one parent ) i live in Atlanta, GA
Thank you for the content . Helped me a lot.
Hoping you or someone in the comments can help with my confusion.
Does the NVC welcome letter have to be a physical letter ? I received an email from them with case number etc.
So, do I still need a physical letter? During any of the followup processes will NVC or consulate/embassy ask to see a physical copy of the letter?
Should I ask NVC to send me a physical copy?
I really appreciate the video making most of the things clear. Me and my wife are parents (76 yrs nd 68 yrs) of three kids who are settled in USA. As they are pressing us to apply for Green Card, I will be happy if anyone can give their suggestion/advice on Two Specific things.
(1) Is it better to apply while bein India or when visiting USA?
(2) From Medical point of view, is it better to Apply from California ( Where my Daughter and second son are there) OR from Texas, where my eldest son is there?

What if when child and parents live outside of US, parents are not citizen, only the child is a citizen of 21 years of age?
@Maneesha Mukhi - Can you come up with a video on how to sponsor siblings? and during the entire process which could be around 10 years and more, are they allowed to visit US on their Travel Visa? if their travel visa expires in between their Green Card process? will they be allowed to apply for a new/renewal of travel visa and then visit US while their Green Card processing is going on?
Hello, I applied back in 2019 and my case was sent to national Visa center and up until now we have received anything. When I call or try to contact them I can never get to them.
