Important tips for American parents to immigrate

Because the parents of American citizens are immediate family members, American immigration law stipulates that there is no limit on the number of immigrant visas for parents of American citizens to apply for green cards. If the parents of American citizens are outside the United States, their children can apply for i- 130 first, and the materials to be submitted include American citizenship paper, birth notarization (father's name is required), parents' marriage certificate, etc. After i- 130 is approved, I will wait for the notice from the American visa center, then prepare the financial guarantee and apply for an immigrant visa at the Guangzhou Consulate. After the immigrant visa is passed, you can go to the United States for permanent residence. If the parents of American citizens are already in the United States and have entered the country as legal non-immigrants, they can apply for adjustment of their status. In this case, they must apply to the Immigration Bureau through the "two-in-one" application procedure of i- 130/i-485, and get approval after the interview.

Important tips for American citizens to apply for parents' immigration

(a) U.S. citizens whose parents apply need to submit two applications.

(2) If the parents of American citizens adjust their status in the United States, the application for i- 130/i-485 should be filed 60 days after the parents enter the country, otherwise, the application for i-485 will be rejected due to immigration tendency.

(3) The immigration law does not require the parents of American citizens to be valid when applying for i-485, as long as they are legally recognized. Therefore, even if the parents who apply for i-485 overstay in the United States, when their i-485 application is accepted by the Immigration Bureau, their status has been legalized, that is, they live legally, waiting for i-485 processing. During this period, they can apply for work permits, etc. However, the immigration law stipulates that if the applicant has lost his identity for more than six months when submitting the i-485, the immigration bureau will generally not approve the return paper to the United States. In some cases, the Immigration Bureau will still approve the documents for returning to the United States, but even if the applicant has a "return document" to leave the country, he may not be allowed to re-enter the United States. Because the immigration law stipulates that people who have lost their identity for more than six months are not allowed to enter the country for three years.

(4) The kinship between American citizens and their parents is extremely important in the examination of immigration applications. If the American citizen's father is not his biological father, but he married the American citizen's mother before his birth, and his father's name is written on the birth paper, then the father still meets the requirements of American immigration law.
