Petitions for Parents
Reuniting with Parents Through Family-Based Immigration
For many U.S. citizens, helping their parents obtain permanent residency is one of the most meaningful steps in keeping families together. U.S. citizens age 21 or older may file immigrant petitions on behalf of their parents, and because this category is classified as “immediate relative,” there is no annual visa cap or waitlist, making it one of the fastest and most straightforward paths to a green card.
Our Approach
Who Qualifies:
-
Parents of U.S. citizens who are at least 21 years old
-
Note: Lawful permanent residents (green card holders) are not eligible to petition for parents
Key Considerations:
-
Determining whether the parent should pursue adjustment of status (if currently in the U.S.) or consular processing (if abroad)
-
Providing clear documentation to establish the parent-child relationship, such as birth certificates, adoption decrees, or other relevant records
-
Reviewing the parent’s immigration history, including prior entries, overstays, or any potential inadmissibility issues, which may require additional waivers or legal arguments
