How do I apply for my parents to immigrate to the US?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
If your parents are overseas the process will be about 7-12 months. If in the U.s. then about four months. It is a multi-step process where you first petition for them and ending with their interview scheduled at the home consulate.

Do you have any advice on what I would need to do as far as filing for I-130 or would I just apply for change of status?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard Stephan Kolomejec (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Richard S. Kolomejec
You can marry and stay in the US. The entire process takes only about 3 to 4 months from start to finish. Just consult with an experienced immigration lawyer before getting married. Sometimes the timing of the marriage makes the difference.

Does my son have to wait for the approval of his I-130 before filing other forms? Do we need 2 G-325A forms in filing?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
The answer to your question depends on your status and his age. If you are a USC and he is your son and under 21, he can file everything together. If not, then you file the I-130. He is put into the quota system and at some point will be eligible to file the I-485. I am NOT saying that he is eligible to file anything; for that answer, I highly encourage you to set a consult with a competent immigration attorney. In fact, I feel it is very important that you do so, in order to fully evaluate your son's case.
