Can an American green card apply for immigration for parents?

You can't. Permanent legal residents of the United States (green card holders) do not have this qualification. According to the immigration law of the United States, American citizens aged 265,438+0 or above have the legal qualification to apply for permanent residence and residence of their parents in the United States.

The meaning of "parents" in American immigration law includes: biological parents (whether born in wedlock or not), stepparents and adoptive parents. However, if an American citizen obtains citizenship through legal adoption, he no longer has the right to apply for the permanent residence of his biological parents in the United States.

For applicants whose parents are already in the United States, you can submit the 130 form and the 485 form at the same time, and the application cycle takes 3-6 months to get the American green card. The main application materials are as follows:
