Green Card Through a U.S. Citizen Child
In some situations, parents of U.S. citizens may qualify for lawful permanent residence in the United States through a family-based immigration petition.
If your child is a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old, they may be able to sponsor you for a green card through the Family-Based Immigration process.
At New York Immigration Center, we help families across Long Island and New York navigate the legal process of applying for permanent residence through a U.S. citizen child.
Who Can Apply for a Green Card Through a U.S. Citizen Child?
Under U.S. immigration law, parents of U.S. citizens may qualify for permanent residence if the child is at least 21 years old.
In this situation, the U.S. citizen child may file a Petition for Alien Relative on behalf of their parent.
Parents of U.S. citizens are considered immediate relatives, which means immigrant visas are generally available without long waiting periods.
Can Parents Apply if They Entered the U.S. Without Inspection?
Many parents of U.S. citizens have complex immigration histories, including visa overstays or entry without inspection.
In some cases, parents who entered the United States legally may still qualify for adjustment of status even if they overstayed a visa.
Parents who entered without inspection may still have options, but additional steps—such as consular processing or immigration waivers—may be required.
Because these cases can be legally complex, it is important to obtain advice from an experienced immigration attorney.
