miserable9 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have my I-140 approved a year ago and wanted to know how long it would take if I applied for a green card for my parents ? Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 You will need to be a citizen to file for your parents. First the time taken for you to get the GC. Then the time to become a citizen. Quote Link to comment
copco Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 On what basis do you plan to apply? Which country are you from? You have to be a US citizen before you can sponsor your parents. You don't even have a GC at this point. Quote Link to comment

newacct Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 You can't petition parents to immigrate until you become a US citizen. Quote Link to comment
care_candidate Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Are you aware of concept of Priority dates? Are you/parent trying to apply green card for your parents using family based or on their own? Quote Link to comment
